Citation:

During the operations against Pakistan in December 1971, Squadron Leader Jasbir Singh was a senior pilot of a fighter bomber squadron. On 6 December, he carried out a tactical reconnaissance mission deep behind the enemy lines in the Longewala area and brought back exhaustive information of vital importance, which altered the course of battle in the area to advantage. Later, on the same day he destroyed a tank and a large number of support vehicles in the area.

Again, on 9 December, after carrying out another very useful tactical reconnaissance, he attacked and destroyed four tanks despite heavy ground fire. His mission contributed significantly in neutalising the enemy thrust in the area.

Throughout, Squadron Leader Jasbir Singh displayed gallantry, determination and professional skill of a high order.
