The IAF was lucky. Laser-guided bombs were meant to be inducted the following year. Twenty years later, India must ensure timely procurement of equipment for adequate readiness, so that the outcome of military challenges is not left to chance or good luck.

A major event on the global civil and military aviation scene in the recent past was the iconic Paris Air Show. The importance of this biennial event that was held from June 17 to 23 this year, can be judged from the fact that it was inaugurated by the President of France, Emmanuel Macron himself. With ‘innovation’ as the primary focus, the Air Show at Paris hosted a large number of exhibitors including start up companies from all across the world.
