Air Chief Marshal A.P. Singh clarified the Indian Air Force's stand on theaterization and integration of the three services, saying that it does not intend to permanently distribute fighter jets across different geographies. Army, Navy and for future wars The Indian Air Force launched precision strikes on the Western Front during Operation Sindur with precision strikes covering a width of 1200 km and a depth of 200 km. This proved that no target was beyond the Air Force's reach. The Air Force chief said that Operation Sindur supports the Air Force's capability-based strategy. The operation also demonstrated that air power is the most important counter-capability and strategic deterrence tool for the country's security. However, he cautioned that the Indian Air Force should not let its preparations stagnate on the basis of operational success. In the future, the focus will be on further expanding and strengthening this capability. Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal Amarpreet Singh said the theaterization process was not intended to permanently segregate fighter jets on the basis of geographical areas. In an interview to PTI, he said that the Indian Air Force is fully committed to the process of joint operations and integration between the three services. AP Singh said that future wars will be fought simultaneously on many fronts in their own nature. In such a situation, the Army, Navy and Air Force will work in closer coordination than before. Discussing the dramatization of air power in an integrated structure, the Air Force chief said that the real question is how to use air power in an integrated military structure to the maximum effect. He said the guiding principle for this should be to centralize control where necessary and decentralize responsibility for action where appropriate.
