Narendra Modi Indian Government approves creation of Weapon Systems branch in Indian Air Force
New Delhi: In a historic step for the Indian Air Force (IAF), the Government has approved the creation of a new branch, called the Weapon Systems (WS) branch.
The creation of WS branch would entail unification of all weapon system operators under one entity dedicated to the operational employment of all ground-based and specialist airborne weapon systems, read a statement issued by the Indian government.
The branch would encompass operators in four specialised streams of Surface-to-Surface missiles, Surface-to-Air missiles, Remotely Piloted Aircraft and Weapon System Operators in twin/multi-crew aircraft.
The branch will contribute immensely by enhancing the war fighting capability of the Indian Air Force.
Meanwhile, Indian PM Narendra Modi wished the nation on Air Force Day.
" On Air Force Day, my greetings to the courageous air warriors and their families. In line with the motto of नभः स्पृशं दीप्तम्, the Indian Air Force has shown exceptional dexterity for decades. They have secured the nation and also shown remarkable human spirit during disasters," Modi tweeted.
