Yeah, probably just Combat Air Patrols (CAPs) over VAs in their own territory.I don't if she would be ever allowed to carry out missions in India air-space in times of war.
But it's ironic that though Muslims are considered more conservative, their women are allowed to fly fighter jets unlike the IAF which has debarred Indian women from flying fighters, relegating them to choppers and transport aircraft only.
I think it's high time the IAF changes its rules. But the main issues dogging the IAF are:
> What would happen to them if they are shot down over enemy territory.
> Family problems including maternity leaves meaning less flying hours.
> Monthly periods. You can't be wearing a g-suit during these periods! That means grounding every month for a week at least!!
I wonder how the PAF is coping with these issues?
