Indian Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal A P Singh, emphasized caution in rapidly implementing the proposed theaterisation plan, advocating instead for a joint planning and coordination center in Delhi to enhance tri-services synergy. Highlighting the effective collaboration seen during Operation Sindoor and the recent conflict with Pakistan, he argued against the creation of new military structures like theater commands, suggesting that the current command systems, while maintaining core competencies, need a focus on centralized planning with decentralized execution. Singh stressed that India should not simply replicate foreign models like those of the US or China, as the unique requirements of the Indian context must be addressed. He proposed starting with established coordination frameworks to assess their efficacy before making further structural changes. The Chief of Air Staff underscored the need for seamless communication and strategic alignment with political leadership during operations to ensure successful outcomes, reflecting a deep understanding of the operational landscape while maintaining a prudent approach to organizational reform.
