    INDIAN ARMY
    Indian Army
    The Indian Army has proved that the
    regimental colours its Jawans carry are
    still a matter of honour. The many wars
    it faced, have ensured that those
    traditions would be carried on by many
    generations of fighting Jawans in the
    years to come. Most of all, the Jawans
    have learnt that after all was said and
    done, honour in battle meant standing
    one's ground and fighting - even to the
    last man or tank if necessary.

    Jai Hind!! Jai Jawan!!

    INDIAN AIR FORCE


    Indian Air Force
    The Indian Air Force (IAF) today,
    having completed the Platinum
    Jubilee of dedicated service to the
    nation, is a modern, technology-
    intensive force distinguished by its
    commitment to excellence and
    professionalism. Keeping pace with
    the demands of contemporary
    advancements, the IAF continues to
    modernise in a phased manner and
    today it stands as a credible air power
    counted amongst the fore-most
    professional services in the world.
    Indian Air Force
    Commands

    Indian Air Force on 1st April 1933. Since then a number of
    Squadrons, Flights and Units were raised spanning the number
    range 1-224.  With the exception of a few SA-2 Squadrons
    raised in the mid 60s, all other  Squadrons operated either
    fixed wing aircraft or helicopters.
    Indian Air Force
    Fighters
    • The fighter aircraft in the IAF inventory are the primary means to
    achieve and maintain air supremacy over the battle field. These
    aircraft are designed for air-to-air combat in order to achieve their
    goals.
    Indian Air Force
    Strike, Attack And Close Support Aircraft
    • These are military aircraft designed to attack targets on the
    ground. They are often deployed as close air support for, and in
    proximity to, their own ground forces, requiring precision strikes
    from these aircraft.
    Indian Air Force
    Airborne Early Warning Aircraft
    • These aircraft are designed to detect and distinguish hostile aircraft.
    The system can be used to direct fighters and strike aircraft to their
    targets and warn them of hostile enemy aircraft in the area.
    Indian Air Force
    Tanker Aircraft
    • These aircraft are used for aerial refueling which allows IAF aircraft to
    remain airborne for longer periods, hence enhancing their effective
    range. Aerial refueling also allows aircraft to take-off with greater
    payload (by carrying less fuel during take-off).
