Air Chief Marshal AP Singh has emphasized the growing relevance of air power in modern warfare, asserting that it should be used offensively to achieve decisive outcomes, particularly in light of recent military operations like Operation Sindoor against Pakistan. During a discussion at the Army War College, he explained that the Indian Air Force (IAF) had the capability to continue strikes during this operation but chose not to, as its primary objectives were met. He argued against the notion that escalating military actions is necessary, advocating instead for conflict termination once goals are achieved. The operation, which was launched in response to a terror attack, demonstrated the effective use of technology and air power as essential tools in India’s defense strategy. Singh highlighted that the operation challenged the misconception that air power automatically leads to escalation, underscoring its strategic importance in future conflicts. This perspective reinforces the Indian military’s commitment to a decisive and technology-driven approach in safeguarding national security.
