| Summary / Abstract (Note) | At the 81st annual Raising Day parade of the Indian Air Force (IAF), amidst the celebrations, there was a hidden cautious note. In the words of Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne, who described the air assets as both "expensive and scarce", the primary resposibility would be the security of their equipment. "The safety and security of these (assets) is our prime responsibility. While ensuring their physical security is important, there is also an increasing need to ensure security of our vital communication and operational information networks," he said. Admittedly, the past year has been the most challenging for the IAF, and also the most rewarding. |
