Naik, who recently visited Indian Air Force (IAF)
facilities in the north-east region bordering Bangladesh,
Myanmar and China, said India wants to build its own mechanism
to protect national assets during both peace and war.
"Let there be no doubt. We are ready. The IAF is fully
capable of defending India's skies," he said.
IAF also plans to induct more Sukhois and Mi-17-1V
medium-lift helicopters for its bases in the North-East.
It has procured 98 Russian-made Sukhoi-30 MKI fighter
aircraft since 1996. PTI
