Aero India-Seminar synergy two bangalore

Bangalore Feb 5: Air Chief Marshal Tyagi asserted that Indian Airspace should be more secured with newer technologies such as unmanned vehicles and unmanned combat vehicles, besides superior armament, he said it was no longer a secret that India was a nuclear weapon state and more countries in the neighbourhood were also gaining similar status. He said exploitation of Space was a necessity maintaining India's security.

Commenting that ''diplomacy without military muscle is useless'' he said that in the era of globalisation international borders have become meaningless and countries with longer reach in airpower would enable them to secure their economic independence. He assered that India's security needs could be best met only by aerospace power.

He said that induction of a new technology into the IAF would not be of any use unless there was proper maintenance back up and logistic support.
