Air Chief Marshal, Tanvir Mahmood Ahmed, Chief of the Air Staff, Pakistan Air Force on Friday said that professionally a better-trained side can offset the limitations of numbers and equipment to a great extent.
'The application of air power at different levels and modes could stretch our limited resources to the maximum and test our resolve,' he said in an address to the Graduation Ceremony of Combat Commanders' Course at Pakistan Air Force Base, Mushaf, Sargodha.
The Air Chief Marshal said, 'We are fully cognisant of the fact that the nature of aerial warfare continues to rise in complexity under a time compressed environment.' He added that any future conflict in the region would add new dimensions to the employment of air power.
Tanvir said, 'It is for this reason alone, that our force structuring and operational training must continue to evolve progressively.' He said the importance of quality military hardware notwithstanding, the competence to squarely face a technologically and numerically superior adversary, comes through realistic, devoted and persistent training.
The Air Chief Marshal emphasised that training for a future aerial battle should entail simulation of complex battle scenarios, to achieve the highest professional standards and a perfect harmony amongst all team members and such other stakeholders, as are essential for ensuring success in the conflict.
He congratulated the graduating officers on their successful completion of the course and instructional staff for maintaining the highest standards of training. At the end of the ceremony, the chief guest awarded certificates and trophies to the graduating officers.
The Chief of the Air Staff Trophy for the best Combat Commander was awarded to Squadron Leader, Ghazi Salah-Ud-Din, while Air Officer Commanding, Air Defence Command Trophy for best Combat Controller was awarded to Squadron Leader, Sajjad Haider. Senior officials of Pakistan Air Force attended the ceremony.
