New Delhi: IAF pilots have to be well geared towards future air battles, which will be "extremely fast paced and highly intense", said Air Chief Marshal NAK Browne on Friday.
Speaking during the induction ceremony of the new Swiss basic trainer aircraft Pilatus PC-7 Mark-II at the Air Force Academy at Dundigal, Hyderabad, the IAF chief said, "While operating their aircraft within the entire operational envelope, our pilots will have to fully exploit on board systems in order to gain a decisive advantage over the adversary."
"Multiple airborne and ground based threats will have to be engaged and complex tasks will have to be executed simultaneously. The extreme demands of modern combat aviation therefore, warrant that our young aviators have a good foundation in terms of flying training exposure," he added.
