I extend my appreciation to the SP Guide Publications on the release of the special edition of SP’s Aviation, to commemorate the 93rd anniversary of the Indian Air Force.

The Air Force day is an occasion to honour our proud legacy and reaffirm our resolve to safeguard the nation’s skies. Through Op Sindoor the IAF has demonstrated its commitment, courage and capabilities; thus reinforcing the primacy of air power in modern warfare. This year also marks the poignant moment of transition from the formidable MiG-21 to the rise of indigenous strength through the LCA Tejas; carrying forward the torch of excellence and ushering in a new era of Atmanirbhar Bharat. As we forge ahead, the IAF remains resolute in its quest for excellence, harnessing cutting-edge technologies to dominate the multi-domain battlespace. This unwavering commitment perfectly encapsulates this year’s theme: Infallible, Impervious and Precise.

Since its founding in 1964, SP Guide Publications has remained a benchmark in military journalism, earning respect for insightful analysis and high editorial standards, making it an invaluable resource for the defence community.

On behalf of the Indian Air Force, I would like to congratulate the team at SP Guide Publications and wish them continued success in their future endeavours.

Jai Hind!
