Indian Air Force vice-chief Air Marshal BS Dhanoa said in a meeting with media officials that Indian air force is not capable of fighting China and Pakistan at the same time due to lack of required number of aircraft. This news raised an alarm and questioned the national security.
He said “Our numbers are not adequate to fully execute an air campaign in a two-front scenario,” Indian air force has only 33 squadrons but the requirement is of minimum 42 squadrons at present.
He also said “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,”
Hope GOI will take care of this issue as soon as possible as this is matter of country’s security.
