Rajnath Singh: IAF must learn from emerging trends in air warfare

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has been urged by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to analyze and adapt to emerging trends in air warfare. Singh emphasized the importance of joint planning and execution of operations with the Navy and Army to enhance combat capabilities. The IAF commanders are currently reviewing the use of aerial platforms and air defense systems in conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Hamas-Israel conflict. The upgrading of China's air bases facing India is also a significant concern. The IAF remains prepared with dynamic operational war plans.
