IAF Chief AP Singh At CAPSS Seminar: Drones Are No Longer Just Eyes In The Sky, They Are Claws!

Addressing the CAPSS-IMR Joint Seminar in Delhi, Indian Air Force Chief, Air Chief Marshal Amar Preet Singh, declared that the battlefield has permanently shifted toward decentralized, autonomous warfare. Emphasizing that unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are a direct extension of air power, he famously noted that drones are no longer just "eyes in the sky, they are claws in the sky." Highlighting the success of Operation Sindoor, the Air Chief credited India's integrated air defense framework (IACCS) as the nerve center that successfully neutralized all incoming enemy targets through flawless centralized coordination.
