There was a big hall which had big aircrafts and planes. They were real and truly magnificent. It looked like we were travelling through the 1970s, when Indo-Pak war was going on.

There were planes, buses, vehicles and even missiles which were sent to India in 1972. They were completely damaged as our brave soldiers had fought against them. Gallery II and III consisted of paintings and things that had been used by Indian pilots to locate the enemy. Instruments like ground cameras and air cameras are even now in working condition because of the care given to them. The people working there were really disciplined and their efforts worth appreciating. Planes, aircrafts and missiles kept there proves that India is not afraid of any country. Everyone should go and explore the museum for awareness and education.
