Indian Air Force chief says can hit Pakistan nuclear sites in next surgical strike

Mangalore Today News Network

Pakistan, Oct 05, 2017 : In a major warning to Pakistan, Indian Air Force Chief BS Dhanoa today said his forces are capable of hitting nuclear sites across the border if another decision on a surgical strike is taken by the government.

 

"The Air Force has the capability to locate, fix and strike across the border," Dhanoa said in a press meet on the issue of the tactical nuclear arsenal of Pakistan.

"We are ready for a full spectrum operation," he said. Dhanoa said any decision on another surgical strike which also involves the Indian Air Force has to be taken by the government.

The government recently said India is faced with threats of wars at two fronts: Pakistan and China. Speaking in that context, Dhanoa said he needs "42 squadrons" to carry out a full spectrum operation in case of "a two-front war".

Dhanoa said the IAF’s capabilities against China are also "adequate". On the Doklam border crisis, he said Chinese forces are still deployed in Chumbi Valley. "I expect that they withdraw as summer exercise gets over," he said.
