In a fiery speech, Kapil Sibal raised grave concerns over India’s defence preparedness, highlighting the Indian Air Force’s dwindling combat strength. Citing Air Chief Marshall Amarpreet Singh, the speaker stated the IAF is down to 31 squadrons, the lowest since 1965, and is ‘very badly off’ in numbers. The address pointed out the slow induction of new aircraft while fleets of MiG-21s, MiG-29s, and Mirages are being phased out. The discussion also touched upon the delayed development of the indigenous LCA and the fifth-generation AMCA, comparing it with China’s progress towards a sixth-generation aircraft. The speaker also referenced the Pahalgam terrorist attack, questioning security arrangements and intelligence effectiveness in Jammu and Kashmir. The speech underscored the combined threat from Pakistan and China, urging a serious review of the country’s security apparatus and military modernization. #kapilsibal #indianairforce #nationalsecurity #itwebvideos #defence #iaf #fighterjets #squadronstrength #pahalgam #jammuandkashmir #securitydebate #military #airpower #lcatejas #amca #indiadefence #securitylapse #crossborderterrorism #indianpolitics #defencenews #militarydebate
