Air Chief Marshal (retd) Fali Homi Major talks to Mayank Singh
What do you have to say about the delay in acquisitions?
There is no other way and it is bound to happen. We need to understand that these are important transactions and huge money is involved. Plus, there is the issue of international politics and foreign relations. Extensive and rigorous trials are also required before India makes up her mind.
By when do you foresee the Air Force at its optimum level?
By 2022, we will be completing our modernisation process with all kind of acquisitions getting completed.
What is your analysis about the way the MMRCA deal is going?
See, the more the competition, the wider the choice we get. The role of the air force is to pick the best.

I don’t see that in the next 60 years. Whether it’s a drone or any other kind of machine, they cannot take last-minute decision.
