Air Chief Marshal Outlines Strategic Priorities For Indigenous Defence
As the Indian Air Force commemorates its 94th Air Force Day, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh outlines the service’s strategic priorities for indigenous defence and technological sovereignty. The IAF aims to rebuild its fighter squadron strength with indigenous platforms, including the LCA Mk-1A and the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft. India must develop critical aerospace technologies, including aero-engines and AESA radars, to achieve true technological sovereignty. The IAF is committed to working with Indian industry, research institutions, and academia to accelerate indigenous R&D and create a stronger partnership.
