Air Marshal N J S Dhillon today said that the Indian Air Force (IAF) is fully equipped to face any foreign aggression.
However, Air Marshal Dhillon, a Senior Air Staff Officer at the Western Air Command, said there was little possibility of any foreign aggression against India.
Air Marshal Dhillon, an alumnus of Sainik School Kapurthala, was here to participate in the annual 'old boys' meet of the school here.
