“Air Force Station Tezpur Played A Vital Role In The Success Of The 1971 War”

IAF Station, Tezpur: In the first of our series, ‘Eastern Front Airpower’, we speak to Air Commodore V.J. Singh, the Air Officer Commanding(AOC), Indian Air Force Station, Tezpur.

StratNews Global’s team of Amitabh P. Revi and Rohit Pandita travel to the IAF base Tezpur, in Assam, after filming two other series: ‘East of The Northeast’ and ‘Along The China Front: Commanding The Tawang Heights’.

In this interview, Air Commodore V.J.Singh recalls the Tezpur base’s history and the changes with “high tech aircraft, the infusion of technology, and the infrastructure” contributing to “aircraft (that) can fly 24×7 in all weather” which along with “air-to-air refuelling” has meant platforms have increased their “reach” from the “strategic location of this base in this region.”
