Very interesting. ANI is quoting statement passed by a Flight Lieutenant. Probably the Flight Lieutenant is in command of the forward air base. Or is it cowardliness of IAF senior officers to take command of forward air base.
A Flight Lieutenant knows operation details of IAF and hence able to claim the level of training and extent of readiness of IAF.
There is a missing part in IAF's motto
"Touch the sky with Glory and get shot down for a cup of fantastic tea."
IAF warfare capabilities has grown so much so that they are able to undertake all type missions even at night.
In Operation Bandar IAF pilots were tasked to drop their spike bombs during night on the trees to kill a terrorist crow. They successfully completed the task.
