| Summary/Abstract |
Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Army (IA) will soon have formidable attack helicopter capability and will use for Suppression of Enemy Air Defences (SEAD) / Destruction of Enemy Air Defences (DEAD), Counter Air, Interdiction at varying depths inside enemy territory, Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR), etc. in furtherance of both air and ground battles. It would act as a tremendous force-multiplier at the point of decision, when required. Indigenous helicopters have taken reasonable shape but are held up due to delayed decision on weapons. Addition of the Chinook, Apache, the Rudra and MH 60 Romeo Seahawk helicopters will give a massive boost to the capability. Rotary wing fleet will continue to remain a very significant fleet both, in war and peace.

| Summary/Abstract |
Infiltration, skirmishes and wars on the borders, terrorist attacks
in cities, the Naxalite menace, natural calamities, major accidents,
evacuation of expatriates from troubled foreign countries, humanitarian
aid to foreign countries, reconstruction and development in war-torn
friendly countries - the response to all these situations and many more,
demands large-scale movement of men and material. Often, secrecy is
essential; always, time is of the essence. Reliable airlift capability and
prompt action is the lifeblood of such missions. A timely airlift of troops
by the Indian Air Force (IAF) to the Maldives frustrated the designs
of a band of terrorists and averted a coup d'état in November 1988.
Operation Cactus was a shot in the arm for Indian diplomacy. In some
ways, India continues to gain from the stature thus attained. Airlift
capability is a powerful tool for pursuing foreign policy objectives
through employment of resources and capabilities. It has the power to
change attitudes and build perceptions.

| Summary/Abstract |
Combat aircraft constitute the cutting edge of any air force and so it is with the IAF as well. Modernisation and upgradation of combat platforms are ongoing processes that will help the IAF maintain the operational edge at all times. By the end of the 15th Five Year Plan, it is expected that the IAF inventory would consist largely of fourth and fifth generation platforms. Notwithstanding the depleting numbers that are being witnessed today, the continuing induction of new combat platforms such as the SU 30 MKI as well as the plans of acquiring the Rafale and the Tejas, the IAF would have the capability of long-range precision attack and of delivering conventional and nuclear weapons. This would give the IAF not just the necessary deterrence capability, but also a reliable second-strike capability.
