IAF Chief Air Marshal R K S Bhaduria says force ready to counter China

Indian Air Force Chief Air Marshal R K S Bhadauria yesterday said the force have taken all actions required to be taken to counter China. Speaking at an event in New Delhi, Air Marshal said China has deployed heavily along LAC in support of their army. He said Chinese have a large presence of radars, surface to air missiles and surface to surface missiles and their deployment has been strong.

 

He said any serious India-China conflict isn't good for China at the global front and if Chinese aspirations are global then it doesn't suit their grand plan. He said the low-cost and easy availability of simple disruptive technologies such as



drones with small state and non-state actors have made them more lethal, agile and capable of generating disproportionate effects.

 

Air Marshal said, Pakistan has increasingly become a pawn in Chinese policy. He said US exit from Afghanistan has opened increased options for China in the region both direct and through Pakistan. He said, the evolving uncertainties and instability at the global geo-political front has provided China with an opportunity to demonstrate its growing power and indirectly it has also brought to fore the inadequate contribution of major powers to global security.
