New Delhi:
Air power has a huge role to play in any of the integrated battle roles, Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said on Friday, asserting the Indian Air Force was fully committed to the theaterisation of the armed forces.
Air Chief Marshal Bhadauria s comments on air power came soon after Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat talked about the IAF s air defence charter as well as its role as a supporting arm to the ground forces just as the artillery or engineers support the combatants within the Army.
