Air chief ACM RKS Bhadauria retires on Sept 30, yet gov has not announced his successor
— Pravin Sawhney (@PravinSawhney) September 17, 2021
Seems gov will do ‘deep selection’ for successor & not follow traditional norm of senior most taking charge -
someone who accepts #Rawat’s military reforms of dividing limited air assets!
If you insist on reading his twitter feed feel free to do so. But must you inflict this on us ?
Every time I see his name/dp I have to mentally prepare myself to read a word soup comprising of 5th gen warfare/domain/cyber/AI/ML/drones etc etc.
At least use a spoiler.
I totally understand how you both are on the same wavelength. No need to bring him here as we already have you. You with a twitter account will be more dangerous than him.
That person is editor to Force magazine ( somebody else has pointed out it here few months back already ).
People from force, R&D section giving interviews to him regularly.
And lastly, who are you to give me instruction on what to post what not to post? If you have any apprehension, better you block me so that you dont need to see my posts here.
FYI, this is defense forum for India &Indians, being free country with free speach as one of the fundamental right we enjoy in this country he, me & you have the equal right to propagate views in this country, i beleive this forum is also not so different from this country.

India's first Maritime Theatre Command may be announced on Independence Day 2022 - Report
According to an agency report, the Indian Navy held a meeting on the creation of Maritime Theatre Command in Mumbai last week.
In all probability , Coastal air patrolling goes to the maritime command. This has been a bone of contention between IN & IAF for quite sometime. @vstol Jockey would be the best person to answer this.Can someone point out to what the possible reservations of Airforce might be , with the creation of unified Naval Maritime Command?Navy holds high level meeting on creation of Maritime Theatre Command

In addition to this , it could be the proto expeditionary force we're planning which would have an aerial component & for the present would be under the maritime command.

The MTC will be headed by the IN, so it practically hands over control of an IAF command in the peninsula to the IN upon consolidation. They are losing a lot of power through theaterisation.
It's a dilution of the IAF's powers since a lot of real estate under all those commands will go under the army and navy.
There's a lot more that we do not know. The extent of their previous capabilities they can actually exercise under the ADC is unknown.

Ideally they should approach the issue in a step by step time-bound manner where the time for smooth integration shouldn't exceed 5 yrs after said commands are operationalized . In the interim , Western & Eastern Commands ought to have an Army Commander & an MTC a naval commander to pursue integration before command is thrown open to officers of all 3 forces on the basis of seniority.5 Major Defence Reforms In Front of The New CDS And Way Forward - INDIAN AEROSPACE DEFENCE NEWS

Proposed theaterization also creates a confusing situation since Northern command is out of the theaterization process and it's roles are varied too . It's tasked with handling the LAC , tackling internal security in Kashmir & the LoC there thus overlapping with the WTC .
Ditto for the ETC which is tasked with internal security in the NE & the LAC thus overlapping with the Northern Command. One can sympathize with the IAF . All major commands are IA dominated with the largest Command in terms of geographical area going to the IN . Then certain para militaries under the MHA are expected to be under these theatre commands .
Frankly this is a large mix of duties all inter connected but which also calls for certain finesse & expertise in each individual domain. Not the ideal situation to be in as if the integration isn't handled professionally there are good chances of the whole process going awry for the ETC but especially for the Northern Command.
The ADC in the long run is untenable. No other nation with joint theatre command has an independent ADC . It's an integral feature of respective commands . This is being done only to assuage the IAF.
Ideally the Defence Aerospace Command ought to activated . Guess along with Defence Cyber & EW Command , Logistics Command & Special Operations Command as proposed by the author , these will be birthed after teething issues pertaining to the already proposed commands are sorted out . That still leaves out the SFC.
