Re: Indian Air Force and Weapons

The Indian Air Force is the air arm of the Indian armed forces.
Its the World's 4th largest Air force.
Its primary responsibility is to secure Indian airspace and to conduct aerial warfare during a conflict.
The President of India is the Supreme Commander of all Indian armed forces and by virtue of that fact is the notional Commander-in-chief of the Air Force.
Chief of the Air Staff with the rank of Air Chief Marshal is the Commander of the Indian Air Force. He is assisted by six officers, all with the rank of Air Marshal:
Vice Chief of the Air Staff
Deputy Chief of the Air Staff
Air Officer in Charge of Administration
Air Officer in Charge of Personnel
Air Officer in Charge of Maintenance
Director General of Inspection and Flight Safety
Commands
The Indian Air Force is divided into five operational and two functional commands. Each Command is headed by an Air Officer Commanding-in-Chief with the rank of Air Marshal.
