Amid shortage of spares for military equipment from Russia, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Anil Chauhan today advised the Indian Air Force (IAF) to chart a clear path towards fleet sustenance while simultaneously taking steps towards indigenisation.

He was addressing the annual Air Force Commanders’ Conference (AFCC) at the Air Headquarters today.

The IAF’s fighter jets fleet has Russian planes such as Sukhoi 30MKI and the MiG-29, besides a small number of MiG-21 aircraft. It also flies Mi-17 copters from Russia and transport planes IL-76 and AN-32.

Since the supply of spares has slowed down, the Ministry of Defence is pushing for seeking indigenous solutions.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
