During his press conference on Monday, Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa mentioned 1965 India-Pakistan War legend Squadron Leader Ajjamada Bopayya Devayya. Flying a vintage IAF Mystere aircraft during the war, Devayya shot down a Pakistani F-104 Starfighter and was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. "Something similar has happened over the past few days," said Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa.
