| As far as modernization of missiles and aircrafts are concerned Pakistan has an upper edge and this is the feeling of the top functionaries of the Indian Air Force. That could be the reason for India to import S-400 missile defence system from Russia. And India is forced to do it because China has gone a step ahead in supplying missiles and aircrafts to Pakistan. And the India Air Force functionaries are aware of the threat from the neighbouring country, Pakistan. The Indian Air Force is "very much alive" to emerging threats that could arise in the Indo Pacific region, Air Chief Marshal B S Dhanoa has said, and asserted that his force was prepared to deal with any challenge to protect India's national interests. He also said there is cause for concern over the rate of modernisation and induction of new equipment in India's neighbourhood, even as India faces challenges emanating from "unresolved territorial disputes" and "sponsored" non-state and transnational actors. But the IAF is capable of, and is moving ahead, for countering them effectively, he has stated. On whether the IAF could play a role in smashing militant training camps across the Line of Control in Jammu Kashmir, he did not rule out such a possibility. "The IAF is well-equipped to take on threats which occur from across the border, be it in the realm of sub conventional or other domains," the Air Chief Marshal has said. Referring to India's immediate security challenges, without naming Pakistan and China, he said, "The current challenges emanate from unresolved territorial issues, sponsored non-state actors and transnational actors who act against national interests through the global commons. Thank the US President Donald Trump because he has not issued sanctions against India in case New Delhi imported S 400 missle defence system from Russia. Trump knows that India is faced by two main enemies,Pakistan and China. In addition to this Trump is aware of the threat posed by terrorists having carved out safe havens in Pakistan. This way India is a beneficiary from the US and the Russian military help.Well India is to develop within India improved version of upgraded weapons because future wars are not be fought by men but through weapons, missilkes, long Range guns a nd besides nuclear weapons. Though India is a nuclear power but Pakistan too has nuclear weapons.This way India has had to prepared for a confrontation not only against Pakistan but against China too. |
