00:00The Indian Navy's dominance thus ensured that, should we choose to, we can strike at will.
00:07Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
00:10To talk about the air defence capability, the Indian Navy operates as a composite network
00:17force capable of simultaneously addressing threats emanating from all domains, that is,
00:23that is, air, surface and subsurface, through amalgamation of advanced sensors synchronised
00:31on the combat management systems.
00:34In effect, the maritime force is able to ensure persistent surveillance, detection and identification
00:42for a comprehensive maritime domain awareness, including the airspace.
00:48Effectively using multiple sensors and inputs, we are maintaining continuous surveillance
00:55to degrade or neutralise threats as they emerge or manifest to ensure targeting at extended ranges.
01:07All these are conducted under the umbrella of a comprehensive and effective layered fleet
01:15air defence mechanism that caters for all threats, be it drones or high-speed missiles
01:22or aircraft, both fighters as well as surveillance aircraft.
01:29The fleet operates as a composite force maintaining a surveillance bubble at extended ranges using
01:37advanced radars.
01:38Any aerial target that attempts to penetrate this bubble is detected and identified using various
01:48techniques and technologies affording quick and clear distinction between commercial, neutral
01:56and hostile aircraft or flying objects at ranges in excess of the anticipated attack range.
02:04The carrier battle group, with its integral air wing, provides the first layer of this layered mechanism.
02:14Adequately equipped and trained to high degree of proficiency, our pilots are able to operate both by day and night.
02:23In the current standoff, the presence of an aircraft carrier with large number of MiG-29K fighters and airborne early warning helicopters
02:34prevented any suspicious or hostile aircraft to close the carrier battle group within several hundred kilometers.
02:43If I say in the current words, I will say that no one of those who have been given to the Keral battle group in the Keral battle group.
02:54I have not given the number of kilometers to close the Keral battle group in the Keral battle group.
02:58Over the past few years and most importantly, immediately after the covertly incident by Pakistani sponsored terrorist attack at Pahlgam,
03:12we had validated our anti-missile and anti-aircraft defense capability in a complex threat environment using cross-platform cooperative mechanism.
03:24Our powerful carrier battle group with formidable offensive capability was able to operate with impunity
03:33and maintained an uncontested presence in the area of operations.
03:38Effectively, it compelled the Pakistani air elements to remain bottled up close to the Makran coast,
03:46denying any opportunity to be a threat in maritime space.
03:50The Indian Navy maintains a credible capability to detect, identify and neutralize any aerial platforms that threaten our units at sea.
04:02To sum up, the Indian Navy's dominance thus ensured that should we choose to, we can strike at will.
04:15May I now hand over to Director General Air Operations for further proceedings.
04:19Thank you very much, mejor seeing you next time.
04:27Please Thank you.

04:42So far away, we will continue to get something to make this space here in the list!
04:45Good point.
