Had an interesting Chat with Gana (PR Ganapathy) on anything and everything about IAF, and thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him.

 

From Blueskies podcast post on Youtube:-

In this episode, we speak to Air Mshl Anil Khosla, who recently retired as Vice Chief of Air Staff. Besides his experiences as a young officer, we focus on the role he played in the Doklam stand-off (when he was C-in-C Eastern Air Command) and the strike at Balakot (when he was Vice Chief). We also discuss the pros and cons of indigenous vs imported weapons platforms, the future of air war, and the Air Force’s talent strategy, among other things.
