IAF Chief Highlights Progress, Challenges Ahead of 94th Anniversary
On the eve of its 94th anniversary, Indian Air Force Chief Air Marshal A P Singh highlighted the IAF's progress toward becoming a network-centric, multi-domain force with growing operational capabilities. He acknowledged delays in projects like the LCA Mk-1A but emphasized the need for faster induction and greater combat mass. Singh praised the IAF's performance in Operation Sindoor and stressed that the force remains alert and ready amid evolving global security challenges. He will retire later this month, handing over to Air Marshal Ashutosh Dixit.
