New Delhi: In his first comprehensive articulation on the theaterisation plan, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal AP Singh said on Sunday that the Indian Air Force is not viewing it as an exercise to permanently divide fighter assets geographically, advocating instead for a structure built around India's specific security requirements rather than replicating foreign models.
In an exclusive interview to PTI, the Air Chief Marshal said the guiding principle for theaterisation should be "centralised control" where necessary and "decentralised execution" where appropriate as he cited ongoing conflicts in various geographies to assert that air power can decisively shape military outcomes.
