NEW DELHI: The Indian Army has decided to send its Army Air Defence (AAD) officers to Israel for a course pertaining to Air Defence Missiles. The officers are of the rank of Major and Lieutenant Colonel.
Speaking to this newspaper, an officer said, “Four officers have been selected to go to Israel for training in Air Defence Missiles. The duration of the course is of one year.”
The selected officers will be trained on medium range surface-to-air missiles, the officer added. After completing the course, these officers will return to train the other soldiers and will command new units.
The AAD provides air defence by securing some of the country’s most important defence installations such as air bases, power plants, dams, oil refineries, ammunition depots and nuclear installations. The primary responsibility of safeguarding the country’s territorial sovereignity lies with the Air Force.
