Pak's plan was brilliant, but didn't factor in airpower: IAF Chief on Battle of Longewala
During the release of 'The Epic Battle of Longewala' book, Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria said that Pakistan Army's plan of armoured thrust was brilliant, however it didn't factor in airpower.
"Pak Army's plan of armoured thrust was brilliant.
But they didn't factor in airpower and thought what would half a squadron sitting in Jaisalmer would do, it was their mistake.
Airpower can bring asymmetric results if time and place are chosen correctly," said IAF chief in the event at the Air Force Museum today.
'The Epic Battle of Longewala' has been authored by Air Marshal Bharat Kumar (Retd.).
On March 24, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) welcomed former Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria (Retd) into its fold at the party headquarters in New Delhi. Joining him was Varaprasad Rao, a former Member of Parliament from Tirupati, marking a significant addition to the party's ranks.
Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, Bhadauria's entry into the BJP has sparked speculation about his potential candidacy in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
