11 Mar, 2016

NEW DELHI: Indian Air Force vice chief Air Marshal BS Dhanoa claimed that IAF has less number of jets to combat against joint front of Pak-China.

 

He said “Our numbers are not adequate to fully execute an air campaign in a two-front scenario. Probability of a two-front scenario is an appreciation which you need to do. But are the numbers adequate? No. The squadrons are winding down.”

 

He claimed that we have conveyed our concerns to the government and it has signed a G2G deal of 36 Rafale fighter jets with France.

 

MS Dhanoa also claimed to include Tejas light combat aircraft in IAF.

 

Tejas is a single-engine jet, multi-role light fighter developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited.

 

India is modernizing its defence forces day by day which are altering the balance of power in the region.

 

India has signed deals with France and Russia to buy fighter jets and helicopters.

 

India has also remained biggest buyer of arms in the world in the last 5 years.
