All Set To Deliver Fitting Response To Pulwama, Says Indian Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa

The Indian Air Force is ever ready for an appropriate response as assigned by the political leadership, says Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa, two days post the Pulwama attacks wherein over 40 Central Reserve Police Reserve (CRPF) personnel were martyred.

"The IAF is ever prepared to deliver an appropriate response as assigned by our political leadership. It will always remain at the forefront in executing its missions," said Dhanoa at the launch of the Vayu Shakti exercise, reported NDTV.

Furthermore, he said he wished to assure the people of this country of the capability of the Indian Air Force.

In the Vayu Shakti exercise, around 140 fighter jets, helicopters and a large range of missiles were used by the IAF in the fire power demonstration near the India-Pakistan border.

According to top IAF sources, the Vayu Shakti exercise was pre-planned and the drill was a demonstration of the force's capability to hit targets with “pinpoint accuracy.”
