IAF ready to meet challenges: Chief
IAF chief Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne on Saturday stressed the need for total commitment to operationalise and enmesh new technologies, weapon platforms and infrastructure development to meet the challenge of ever changing security environment.
Observing that the security environment places a greater demand on leadership at all levels, the Air Chief in his New Year message to the air warriors called for “undivided attention” and developing capabilities to successfully transform the IAF into a modern and potent force.
He said the IAF is committed to support the surface forces in both anti-Naxal and air maintenance operations in all areas and expressed confidence that the force is capable of meeting all the challenges.
“Our speedy operationalisation of AWACS and C-130J fleet, commitment in supporting our surface forces both during the anti-Naxal operations and sustained air maintenance operations in the north and east highlights the professional calibre of our air warriors,” Browne said.
Underlining IAF’s vision for the future, he said “operationalisation of newly inducted systems, speedy development of our operational infrastructure and integration of new capabilities in our overall operational employment matrix would require our undivided attention and commitment.”
He also said, “our daily mission and the task assigned to each one of us must be accomplished with utmost commitment and while doing so we need to make a conscious effort of raising our standards a notch higher.”
Praising his men and women in uniform for their professional calibre, achievements, commitment and wishing them continued success in all their endeavours, the Air Chief said, “Over the past one year, the IAF has taken confident strides on the path of transforming itself into a multi-spectrum force, fully capable of addressing India’s future security concerns.”
Browne said “the nation has also gratefully acknowledged our promptness in undertaking relief missions during Odisha floods and Sikkim earthquake as well in evacuating our distressed countrymen from Libya. Our ongoing procurement projects have also progressed substantially and we would see many new value additions in our inventory in the coming year. All these achievements are a true reflection of the foresight, tenacity and commitment of our air warriors. We need to continue maintaining this proactive approach in all our future endeavors as well.”
