The only female Weapon System Operator in the deadly Sukhoi-30 fighter fleet of the Indian Air Force said on Tuesday that pilots in the eastern sector were prepared to respond to any situation in the region and demonstrate their mettle in actual operations despite the ongoing military deployment along the China front.
We have had bright women who have shattered the glass ceiling and paved a road for us to follow our goals to serve the country, said Flight Lieutenant Tejaswi, India’s first Weapon System Operator of the Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft fleet in an interview with media.
“Having women in the fighter aircraft fleet is no longer a novel experience. Everyone works and trains just as hard, men and women included. We each have an equal voice. We are all air warriors first and foremost in the air and on the base, and everything else comes second, she continued.
These pilots are doing a fantastic job, and for us in the IAF, they are first and foremost air warriors who must use the equipment skillfully to complete the missions given, according to an Eastern Command official.
The WSOs, also known as wizzos, are specialised officers who fly in the multirole Su-30 fighter aircraft’s rear cockpit and control the sensors and armaments that the aircraft will use to fire at hostile targets.
“What runs through our heads is not really different at stressful moments because such operations are an execution of what we train on a daily basis,” she remarked when questioned specifically about how she felt being a part of operations amid the ongoing standoff with China at the borders.
Following the discovery of a 27-year-old cadet trainee dead on the college campus, six air force officials have been charged with murder in Bengaluru, according to the police. According to reports, the event happened on Saturday at the Air Force Technical College (AFTC) in Jalahalli. The cadet trainee allegedly committed suicide after a court of inquiry was ordered against him.
In his note of suicide, the cadet trainee Ankit Kumar Jha identified officers with the ranks of air commodore, wing commander, and group captain.
Ankit Jha’s family claims that he was subjected to frequent abuse and torture on the college grounds.
Ankit Jha was relieved of his duties after disciplinary action was started against him, claim the investigating officers. Training of deceased Under Trainee Flying Officer was terminated by IAF on charge of misconduct after complaint by a fellow female trainee officer: IAF official statement.
With regard to the FIR registered against IAF officers for murder with regard to the suicide of Under Trainee Flying Officer (UTFO) Ankit Kumar Jha, IAF says His training had been terminated on 20 September 2022.
His training was terminated after informing his father of the same. Termination of training was the result of recommendations made by a Court of Inquiry (COI), which was instituted following a complaint by a fellow woman trainee officer against the UTFO on 30 June 2022.
It had been established that the cadet had committed certain acts of misconduct. The Inquiry proceedings were duly examined at multiple levels before being approved at Air HQ, as per established procedure on the subject, says IAF.
A Court of Inquiry by IAF is underway to establish the circumstances leading to the death of the UTFO. On 24 September 2022, his kin visited AFTC. They were briefed about the incident.
IAF adds that it condoles the unfortunate loss of life and prays for strength to the bereaved family in their time of grief. IAF is cooperating with the investigation being conducted by the police on the matter.

From being the 5 year old boy innocently saluting back to the security guards everytime they saluted my father to soon joining the Indian Naval Academy, this is my success story.
Being from a naval background, I’ve always admired the work of the people in the armed forces. My father’s passion for his work sparked my interest in joining the armed forces especially the Navy. The opportunities that I got, the people that I met and the values I picked up from my parents and elder sister enabled me to achieve this goal of mine.
From a very young age I was an attentive student and a fast learner. My parents encouraged me to participate in various sports and extra-curricular activities in school. I started to enjoy participating, pushed myself to be more competitive and started seeing the results. I still remember the gold I won in the 25m race in Upper Kindergarten after which I never looked back.
My consistent efforts in academics and extra-curricular activities gave me good results and my teachers always motivated me to keep doing better. With these achievements I also received several responsibilities in the prefectorial council. This further gave me the confidence to act towards my dream of being a naval officer.
Due to the dynamic nature of the work in navy, we had to constantly get transferred to different places for my father’s posting. I always took it as a challenge rather than looking at the negatives and made new friends and upheld the same reputation in the new school. This made me have a large circle of friends who are a constant support in my every endeavor.
My family was undoubtedly supportive of my decisions and my father took cautious steps to inform me of the difficulties and as well benefits of being a naval officer. We took the decision to shift to a coaching institute for JEE so that I would be prepared to face the competition and also have a backup. With my hard work and the blessings of my family and well-wishers I was able to clear the written exam in the first attempt and was called for the SSB.
If you are preparing for the NDA 1 2023 and NDA 2 2023 written exam and SSB interview, you can check SSBCrackExams online courses and mock tests.
I appeared for my SSB while still studying in twelfth standard in 12 SSB Bangalore. The experience was amazing, I made many new friends and learnt a lot about my own personality at a deeper level. Due to the lack of proper preparation and low self-confidence I was conferenced out. But instead of taking it to heart, I self-introspected the mistakes I made in SSB and accordingly changed my preparation in my second attempt.
I read more to improve my knowledge and spoke about various topics with family and friends to improve my confidence while communicating. In my second attempt I cleared the written exam and got 33 SSB Bhopal as my center for SSB. My father assured me to be as care-free of the result as possible so that It didn’t hinder my performance. He said to me, “Jao mazze kar ke aao”
This time my experience was different, I was still making friends and having fun after the tasks but this time there was no room for nervousness. I went through it one day at a time and only focused on my task ahead. I would call my parents every evening and talk about the day and they assured me things would go well. At the end of every task I would gain more and more confidence.
On the conference day, this time I wasn’t too nervous deep down I knew it went well. The conference was short and soon the results were announced. The assessor did not go chest number wise and my chest number 6 was announced. I along with 7 others were recommended and the great part was that out of 8, 3 of us came in the same train compartment and also lived in the same room before entering the SSB.
I thought I wouldn’t cry but when I heard my mother’s voice on the phone congratulating me I couldn’t hold back the tears of joy. I had made my family very proud and there is no better happiness than that.
