Air Chief Marshal Dixit said that every squadron, air defence unit and air warrior must be ready to respond at a moment’s notice, underscoring the need for constant operational preparedness in the Indian Air Force.
He outlined his core focus areas under the acronym VAYU, which stands for Vigilance and operational readiness, Aatmanirbharta or self-reliance, Yukti or tactical innovation, and Unity of effort across the tri-services.
According to Dixit, these priorities are intended to strengthen the force’s readiness, improve coordination and support a more self-reliant and adaptable defence posture.
