World must learn from India on how to start and end conflict quickly: Indian air chief

The world can learn from India on how to start and end conflict quickly, Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh has said.

Speaking at the Air Force Association Annual General Meeting, Singh said, “We had to strike them. We had done that. So if our objectives have been met, then why should we not terminate a conflict? Why should we carry on? Because any conflict has a lot of price which has to be paid,” he said.

“So, I think this is what the world is forgetting. They do not know what our target was when we started the war," he added.

The Indian air chief said that now their goalpost was shifting. "Egos are coming in between. And this is where I think the world has to learn a lesson from India on how to start and terminate a conflict at the earliest possible opportunity.”

He called the deployment of S-400 missile systems a game-changer in Operation Sindoor, adding that the long-range radars and missile systems could threaten aircraft deep inside hostile territory.
