CAS is neither able to see future war set up not able to project the issue correctly. Only harping like his predecessors to have control on Air Force.

What he projected 

A) Be operationally unwise to divide its “limited air assets” like just 32-33 fighter squadrons, six mid-air refuelling aircraft, three AWACS and two AEW&C aircraft among the different theatre commands.

What should have been projected 

A) Projection is limited should have mentioned as threat perception is on three fronts & aid in domestic front . The present resources ars adequately short & insufficient 

B) Further splitting the depleted source will make Air Force a sitting duck & will violate principle of war of concentration

C) Decentralisation will have not only command & control problem but overlap of operational decision .

E)The delay in air space due to dual role will be disaster & element of surprise will be list.

F)It will be easier for enemy to strike at will with further depletion of resources

Recommendations

A)Note my post 6 years back mentioned WW3 will start from space & cyber war 

B) Mentioned about theater commands but not this way as being done

C) Set up seprate Space command dovetailed with Air command . Induct ISRO & missile scientist in order to fight in space & cyber warfare.

D)Boost Air force with latest ac for long-term interdiction, Air fueling  , missiles for space & deep strike .

E)Make Air force responsible for air space on all fronts including sea.

F)Navy theater command should be under CNS & Land theater commands should be Army . Boost Army with tactical nuclear weapons, Armed heptrs & aircrafts for short term interdiction so that minimum reliance on aid from air power for short term interdiction.

G) Theater cdr should be thus have independent resources to complete the mission 

H) To over come shortages PSU should work on war footings to meet the requirements 

J) Shortage of money can be off set by getting money lying with UNO of peace mission done by Armed Forces.
