After the Balakot Aermarkon, when videos of the then Wing Commander Abhinandan of the Indian Air Force appeared in which they were in Pakistani occupation, the country saw how IAF’s fighter pilot showed positive attitude despite being in the enemy’s custody. Wing commander Amit Avinash Sathe (retired), who was a fighter pilot in the Indian Airforce, says that ‘this was the result of training a fighter pilot.’

he/she told that ‘One thing that makes the fighter pilot different from any other pilot is the effect of Gravity. When the fighter jet turns into supersonic speed, the blood goes from the brain to the back. The muscles should be strong to stop it. So that this process is delayed. By the way, fighter pilots wear G suits that help them. ‘

Breeding techniques are also taught to the fighter pilot, in which they use the stomach and chest muscles to pump the blood upwards. So that the blood does not come down from the brain. If the fighter pilots are turning 5G, then the weight of one kilo of helmets is as much as 5 kg. The fighter pilot also has to see which jet is behind. So physical fitness should be perfect for that force. For which every fighter pilot works hard.

The rolls are different according to which squadron of fighter pilots are posted in the Air Force. Because different fighter jets have different rolls. Such as Sukhoi-30 Maltirol aircraft. Jaguwar’s job is to demolish a bomb in the enemy’s area, that is, its strike roll. MiG-29, MiG-21 Bison has the main role air defense. The aircraft which are deployed for this role are called Operational RadioNENS platform i.e. ORP. (Photo- @iaf_mcc)

The fighter pilot posted in the ORP has to be deployed for 24 hours. As soon as it was discovered that the country’s air space has been violated or tried, the fighter pilots immediately take off. Sathe says that ‘fighter pilot is also taught a survival skill. So that if you ever have to have an ejaculation in the enemy’s area, then how can you stay alive and complete the mission too.
