NEW DELHI: (Mar 13) As the war in West Asia rages on, former IAF chief Air Chief Marshal V R Chaudhari (retd) has said the first takeaway for India is the necessity to build a “very strong air defence” with more weapon systems, radars and other operational capabilities.
Interacting with PTI on the sidelines of a national conclave here on Thursday, Chaudhari referred to the use of drones in the conflicts in Ukraine and in West Asia, and said they are going to play a huge role in any future conflict, even as he cautioned that right now “we should not place all our bets just on drones”.
“Yes, they will supplement the existing efforts, but we cannot rely completely on drones to win a war for us,” the former IAF chief said.
