Good morning,

The MiG-21 has flown its last sortie . Inducted into the Indian Air Force in 1963, the Soviet-origin fighter jet was decommissioned on Friday at the Chandigarh Air Force Station. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called it a “mighty machine” that carried the weight of national security, marking India-Russia defence ties and historic missions from the 1971 war to Kargil and Balakot . The final flight saw six jets of No. 23 Squadron (Panthers) switch off their engines for the last time, and pilots — including Squadron Leader Priya Sharma — lining up for a salute as chants of “ Bharat Mata ki Jai ” filled the air.

With that, let’s move on to the top 5 stories from today’s edition:
