Hindustan Aeronautics HF-24 Marut
A desk model with a HAL HF-24 Marut diving on a main battle tank. Looks like a memory trophy to celebrate the battle of the 5th December 1971 ... as the Squadron leader is just receiving its orders from the Wing Commander some days before the battle !
The desk model in front of the left window is probably a B-24 (twin tail, probably four engine aircraft).

A chronogical error : the first flight of the An-32 dated back to 1976.
