IAF chief RKS Bhadauria decorated the 51 Squadron and the 9 Squadron for their role in the air strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan's Balakot in February.
 

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has engraved the name of Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna on the National War Memorial in New Delhi. The decision was taken in the last week of September by the Indian Air Force. Khanna was killed in 1990 by separatist Yasin Mallik-led Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). 

Air chief marshal RKS Bhadauria will award Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman’s 51 Squadron with unit citation for shooting down Pakistan’s F-16 days after the Pulwama attack. The award is slated to be received by commanding officer Group Captain Satish Pawar on October 8.

Squadron Leader Ravi Khanna and three other Indian Air Force personnel were killed in a terrorist attack in Kashmir on January 25, 1990. His wife Nirmal Kumari Khanna has been fighting for justice for nearly three decades now.
 

Pakistan will be awarding two of its Air Force officers for downing an Indian jet. Wing Commander Muhammad Nouman Ali, who downed an Indian Air Force jet piloted by Abhinandan Varthaman on February 27, will be conferred with Sitar-e-Jurat while squadron leader Hassan Mahmood Siddiqui will be awarded with Tamgha-e-Shujaat.

Squadron leader Ajay Ahuja hailed from Kota in Rajasthan. He was an alumnus of the National Defence Academy and was commissioned in the IAF on June 14, 1985, as a fighter pilot. Over fourteen years in various squadrons of the IAF, he served as an operational pilot on MiG-21 variants and on the MiG-23 fighter bomber
