1964 | HJT-16 Kiran: Bharat Ki Pehli Swadeshi Jet Udaan

12 December 1964 Bharat ke aviation aur defence itihaas ke liye ek gauravshali din tha. Isi din Bharat ka pehla swadeshi jet trainer aircraft—HJT-16 “Kiran”—pehli baar safalta ke saath aakash mein uda. Ye sirf ek test flight nahi thi, balki Bharat ke badhte hue aerospace sapnon ki pehli pakki udaan thi. Is aircraft ko Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) ke Bharatiya engineers ne design aur develop kiya tha. Us daur mein jab Bharat zyadatar videshi aircraft aur training platforms par nirbhar tha, Kiran ka vikas ek bada aatmvishwas bhara kadam tha. HJT-16 ka mukhya uddeshya Indian Air Force ke naye pilots ko jet flying ke liye train karna tha. Iska design simple, reliable aur training-friendly rakha gaya tha. Isne pilots ko advanced fighter aircrafts ke liye taiyar karne mein mahatvapurn bhoomika nibhayi. Jab Kiran ne runway chhoda aur aakash mein sthir udaan bhari, to yeh sandesh tha ki Bharat sirf upbhokta nahi, balki nirmaata bhi ban sakta hai. Aane wale dashkon mein HJT-16 Indian Air Force ki training backbone ban gaya. 12 December 1964 ko Bharat ne ye saabit kar diya ki swadeshi technology ke bal par desh apne pankh khud bana sakta hai. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer This video is for educational purposes only.
