IAF Chief AP Singh Outlines Theatre Command Vision and Operational Challenges
Indian Air Force Chief Air Marshal AP Singh emphasized that dividing fighter assets geographically under the proposed theatre commands is not an option, advocating for a structure tailored to India's security needs with centralized control and decentralized execution. He highlighted air power's flexibility and the importance of jointness among services. Singh noted geographic constraints limit China's air operations near India, while India's forward bases enhance readiness. Lessons from Operation Sindoor are shaping IAF's modernization and integrated defense planning.
