Noting that the nature of warfare is undergoing fundamental changes, IAF Chief Chaudhari said India’s security dynamics involve multifaceted threats and challenges which will require building multi-domain capabilities.
Delivering his address at the Combined Graduation Parade at the Air force Academy at Dundigal near here, Chaudhari said the Air Force is on the cusp of transformation into a highly potent air force with many new injections such as Rafale jets, Apache helicopters and a wide variety of sophisticated or sophisticated systems.
The nature of warfare is undergoing fundamental changes. New technology and radically new doctrines have emerged in the last few years. India’s security dynamics involve multifaceted threats and challenges. It will require us to build multi domain capabilities and execute all our operations simultaneously and in shortened time frames Chaudhari said.
On border tensions with China, the IAF chief said disengagement has taken place in certain areas in Ladakh but complete disengagement is yet to be completed
“The stand-off with China does continue, disengagement has taken place in certain areas in Ladakh but complete disengagement has not taken place. The Air Force will continue to maintain deployment. We are prepared to take on any challenge that we may face in that area,” IAF chief Chaudhari said.
