The Chief of the Indian Air Force, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, unveiled a comprehensive modernization plan called Vision 2047 during the IAF’s 93rd Air Force Day celebrations. This initiative seeks to enhance the IAF’s capabilities, focusing on acquiring new aircraft such as the Sukhoi Su-57E and Dassault Rafale to replace ageing fleets like the MiG-21, Jaguar, and Mirage 2000. The plan aims to transform the IAF into a multidomain-capable aerospace power by integrating advanced systems and updating training requirements. This modernization is critical, particularly in light of recent operational experiences, ensuring the IAF maintains robust combat readiness amid evolving geopolitical challenges.
