Flying fast and lower than the barrel of the artillery gun in the background and still descending, Indian Army pilots display their superlative NOE skills on a winter afternoon during Vijay Diwas Military Tattoo 2024 celebrating India's decisive victory over Pakistan on 16 Dec 1971. The Cheetah has been used for liaison, observation, CASEVAC, logistics and has been a lifeline for high-altitude operations.
