“It’s the duty of each one of us to remain combat worthy, whether on ground or in the air, and also maintain our combat system operatiol for any contingency at short notice.” The Air Force Chief said the IAF is confident to take on any threat and is fully prepared to undertake the full spectrum of air operations and respond to any challenge in a befitting manner. In his message on Air Force Day, published in the booklet that contained citations of those who were awarded gallantry and service medals on Sunday, Dhanoa also warned of the possibility of “short and swift” conflicts.
