Took these pictures of the Indian Air Force’s top aerobatics demonstration team, the “Surya Kiran” squadron (transl: the “Sun’s Rays”) zipping past Mumbai today. With a few pigeons trying to outdo them. Hope you like the shots!
You can read more about the Surya Kiran team here:(Surya Kiran - Wikipedia)
beautiful!!
JAI HIND :)
The US after seeing the next gen pigeon fighters:
Edit: why is the meme such high quality what
They’ll be like
“Flaps down”
“Yes sir!”
“No I mean, literally, keep the flapping down it’s too noisy.”
What Aircraft does the team use
Such a cool photo!
They currently use the BAE Hawk Mk-132, but historically, they’ve usually flown the HAL HJT-16 Kiran. That’s the aircraft which gave them their name too - the Surya Kiran team.
They’re basically advanced fighter trainer aircraft, with a more souped-up engine configuration and smoke canisters.
Thank you!!!
Not gonna lie. I thought those pigeons were aircraft and flying in the show 😂
Awesome shots!
Haha. I’m sure they’ll be recruited some day too! Thanks a lot though
Didn’t realize the IAF had acquired next generation pigeons
The local birds wanted in on the fun
They should come to Hyderabad sometime 🥺
honestly the pigeon shot is better than the planes!
WoW! Amazing pictures Sooraj! 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
There’s a surplus tbh. New generations keep popping up.
They got in on it too lol.
You should follow their Instagram page, they post their updates and schedules there.
Oh well. Infinite Pigeons app incoming in 3…2…1…
Thanks so much!!
