Event Description:<\/span> Over the last 18-months a plethora of debates have sprung in the aftermath of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the Armenia-Azerbaijan war regarding the centrality of airpower in conflict. With the growing use of drones for offensive operations, new forms of air-defence systems being employed, and the minimal usage and impact of conventional fighter aircraft in these conflicts, there are many lessons for India\u2019s airpower capacity as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, what lessons can these changes and conflicts have on India\u2019s airpower capacity? Is there a need for new doctrines to be incorporated by the Indian Air Force? What implications does the IAF\u2019s depleting fighter aircraft squadron strength have on its capabilities?<\/span><\/p>\n
