IAF unveils new ensign reflecting its rich history & achievements. Over 100 aircraft took part in the celebrations which also saw ceremonial parade in Prayagraj.
Air Chief Marshal (ACM), V.R. Chaudhari, said they were aware of China’s ‘radar platter’ – a large deployment of radars and extended range systems – which far outnumbers India’s.
The IAF will sign contracts to procure indigenous jets, helicopters, and new-generation weapon systems over the next year and a half, Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari said Tuesday.
IAF chief Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari said Tuesday that even though the force was looking at quality and technology of fighters, numbers still mattered.
Addressing a seminar of the IAF's first Warfare & Aerospace Strategy Programme, he cautioned that ‘a military strategist must not lose sight of the primary objective — war fighting’.
Air Chief Marshal V.R. Chaudhari also underlined that China physically moving a disabled satellite into the 'graveyard orbit' is a new threat in the race to weaponise space.
The units were awarded during the 89th Air Force Day celebrations at the Hindon airbase for boosting India's military presence after the military standoff with China in the region.
On 89th Air Force Day Friday, the Chief of Air Staff V R Chaudhary also said that IAF must demonstrate to the nation that external forces will not be allowed to violate its territory.
Air Chief Marshal V.R Chaudhari said no one service can singularly go into any battle, and that the Army also at times has to support the IAF in its air operations.
We need to give credit to our attention-starved scientists for their true achievements. Perhaps a good way to start would be to not mix science with religion.
