IAF Shake-Up Post-Operation Sindoor

Rapid VCAS churn (3 in 15 months) speculated as a “quiet purge” after May 2025 setbacks—Rafale jamming by Pak/China EW, PL-15 outranging IAF jets (31 squadrons vs. 42 sanctioned), and MRFA deal delays. Kapoor’s appointment (Sindoor veteran) is seen as a “gamble” to revive doctrine.


IAF sources indicate focus on operational readiness and strategic doctrine review. The changes aim to strengthen air defense and fleet modernization.
