LAHORE: Pakistan moved 75 percent of its air force to the Line of Control (LoC) after the Mumbai attacks, Hindustan Times quoted a top commander of the Indian Air Force (IAF) as saying.
“Pakistan had mobilised 75 percent of its air force against us after 26/11. Maybe because they were afraid of us,” Western Air Command (WAC) chief Air Marshal PK Barbora told reporters in New Delhi.
Barbora on Sunday handed over charge as the chief of the WAC, the largest operational command of the IAF. He will be taking over as IAF’s vice chief on Monday.
The outgoing commander of the WAC also said after the Mumbai attacks, India also beefed up its operations in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK).
“As our response, we had started night operations of transport aircraft from Udhampur (air base in IHK) and the main thrust was on night operations,” Barbora said.
