Indian army chief again threatens to cross LoC

If we have to go across, we will, through the air or the ground route or both. The red line has been very clearly drawn as to what will be the future course of action.

According to a report by Indian daily The Times of India, the top Indian commander in response to a question said that nuclear weapons were not weapons of war fighting, and that those proclaiming they would use them in conventional warfare were not in a right state of mind.

“They are not weapons for war fighting. I find it difficult to comprehend when someone proclaims he will use them for conventional war fighting or if he is attacked. Will the world community ever allow you to use nuclear weapons like this?,” he questioned, according to TOI.

Earlier in September, Indian air force chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria had said that the Indian air force was ready for action against Pakistan and had purchased the new Rafale aircraft in this context.

“Rafale is a very capable aircraft, once we induct it, it will be a game-changer in terms of our operational capability. It will give us an edge over Pakistan and China,” Bhadauria told Indian media after taking over as Indian air force chief last month.
