The Indian Air Force's finest squadron patches creator is none other than a 21-year-old Political science graduate. The boy, Saurav Chordia, works as a graphic designer in New Delhi and has designed two patches that commemorate the air battle that was fought between the Indian Air Force and Pakistan in February 2019. Saurav Chordia began this when he was just 18-years-old.
One of the patches that was designed for the IAF 51 squadron bears a 'Falcon Slayers' label which also shows an MiG-21 Bison fighter in the cross-hairs with Pakistan Air Force's F-16 jet. The Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman belonged to this Squadron and had taken down a PAF F-16 before being hit over Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. Abhinandan was recently transferred to another MiG 21-Bison Squadron located in Rajasthan.
