IAF Chief supports theaterisation for improved tri-services cooperation.

In a recent address at the India Defence Conclave, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal A P Singh expressed openness to the proposed theaterisation plan aimed at enhancing tri-services synergy, clarifying that any new structure should prioritize national interests and emerge from thorough discussions. He emphasized the importance of a joint framework that incorporates the Army, Navy, Air Force, para-military forces, and civilian entities, particularly regarding drone operations. Singh reaffirmed the critical role of air power, illustrated by Operation Sindoor, while cautioning that drones, although useful, cannot independently secure victories in warfare. This initiative reflects a strategic shift towards integrated military operations, vital for addressing contemporary security challenges effectively.
