There seems to be no end to comparisons between the military capability of India and China, with Indian Air Force (IAF) chief Air Chief Marshal P.V. Naik making a rather patriotic assertion last week.
On Air Force Day, Naik proclaimed that the IAF was no “chunnu-munnu” (teeny-weeny) air force, triggering peels of laughter from assembled officers. Only a few days ago though, he had said the IAF’s strength was merely one-third of China’s air force.
