The Indian Air Force celebrated its 93rd anniversary on October 8,2025 with an unexpected touch of humour and satire. A specially designed menu card, now viral on social media, mocked Pakistani cities that were targeted during past anti-terror operations.
The menu featured dishes named after sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (POK) struck by the IAF during Operation Sindoor and past anti-terror operations. At the top, the title proudly read “93 Years of IAF”, while the subheader declared: “Infallible, Impervious and Precise”, ridiculing the nine terror targets where India had carried out its missile strikes.
Lt. General (Retd.) KJS Dhillon shared the picture of the menu on his X handle.
Below are the dishes mentioned on the menu card:
Main course
- Rawalpindi Chicken Tikka Masala
