Aerospace power has revolutionised forms of warfare: AIF Chief

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal F H Major today said the Aerospace Power had revolutionised all other forms of warfare and had undergone profound changes with ever accelerating advances in technology.

Addressing the newly-commissioned officers after awarding the President's Commission to flight cadets on behalf of the President of India, he said the present decade was likely to see even more rapid changes in weapon technology, which might fundamentally alter the very nature of warfare.

''You, being a part of these changes, should acquire full understanding and knowledge of application of new technology to exploit the true potential of Aerospace Power. The nation is proud of the Indian Air Force and its dedication. It is now your privilege to join this fine service and serve the nation,'' he said.

Earlier, the Chief of the Air Staff reviewed and witnessed the combined graduation parade of the flight cadets of all branches of Indian Air Force, who completed their basic and professional training at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal on the city outskrits.

At least 97 flight cadets passed out from the Academy and had joined active duty in the rank and file of the Indian Air Force to ensure security of the skies. Five officers from Indian Navy and one officer from Indian Coast Guard also got their flying wings at the function.
