Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh of the Indian Air Force (IAF) reaffirmed the force’s readiness to counter any potential conflicts, including a two-front war, during the Vijay Diwas celebrations in Dibrugarh commemorating India’s decisive victory over Pakistan in 1971. Emphasizing the IAF’s continuous enhancement of its strategic capabilities and operational readiness, he stated, “We are totally prepared to give them a bloody nose if they go for any kind of misadventure.” The celebration featured an aerial display showcasing the IAF’s advanced aircraft, including Sukhoi Su-30s, Dornier Do-228s, and Chinook helicopters, illustrating the seamless coordination between the IAF and other branches of the Indian armed forces during the 1971 conflict. Singh highlighted the importance of inter-service synergy, noting that the successful operations in 1971 were possible due to close cooperation among the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This event not only served as a tribute to past valor but also reinforced the IAF’s commitment to maintaining high operational standards and readiness in the current geopolitical landscape, ensuring national security against evolving threats.
