India’s skies are secure,says IAF chief

“We have taken precautions to ensure that no intrusion takes place in our airspace. We are in a state of preparedness to prevent any threat to the country from air,sea or land. The armed forces are prepared for any eventuality”,he said.

The IAF has foolproof arrangements to fortify its airspace and positioned itself for quick response,he said when asked about its preparedness in the wake of 26/11 terror strike by sea route on Mumbai.

Asked about possibility of a war with Pakistan,he shot back “such things are best decided by the government. The armed forces only execute the will of the government. We do not go to war on our own. There is political leadership. It is for the political establishment to decide on such matters. We are always in a state of preparedness”,Major said.
