Chief of Defence Staff General Anil Chauhan said the use of Air Force would have slowed the Chinese offensive considerably during the 1962 Sino-Indian war, and it may have been termed as “escalatory” then, but that is not the case now as seen in Operation Sindoor. He said this while talking about the war with China 63 years ago and added that over the years, the security situation has changed in the country and the face of warfare itself has been transformed.
