IAF chief Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa has backed the government on the controversial Rafale deal amid a raging political row, saying the move is aimed at shoring up depleting numbers in the air force fleet. “By providing the Rafale and S-400, the government is strengthening the Indian Air Force to counter the shortfalls of our depleting numbers,” Dhanoa said at a seminar on 'IAF's force structure, 2035'. “No country is facing the kind of grave threat that India is confronted with. Our neighbours are not sitting idle. China is modernising its air force significantly. Intentions of our adversaries can change overnight. We need to match force level of our adversaries,” he added.
