Bangalore, Feb 5 : New inductions in the IAF such as Apache attack helicopters will be in support of operational plans of the Army, which is raising a new Strike Corps along the borders with China in the northeastern sector, Air Chief Marshal N A K Browne said here today.
“Whatever inductions are taking place in the IAF, they will fully support the Army's plans. All the strike helicopters like the Apache...they will all support the Army's plans,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a seminar here.
The proposal was first sent by the Army but it was returned by the government which asked the three services to work together on plans to strengthen their capabilities in that region.
