Indian Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha opens up about the incompetence that is keeping Indian aerial platform to reach greater strategic footprint in the world order.  

Addressing a function in Goa on Wednesday, Raha said enhanced air mobility, heavy lift, airborne early warning and in-flight refueling are considered inescapable, and India will need to build on over time.

The Indian Air Chief's comments came at a time when the Air Force is facing a possible depleted strength in the near future owing to planned phasing out of fighter aircraft.
