Picture by Prem Singh New Delhi, Oct. 5 (PTI): The Indian Air Force is capable of effectively countering any threat from China while engaging in a two-front war that also involves Pakistan, Air Chief Marshal B.S. Asserting that the IAF was capable of a two-front war to counter China and Pakistan, Dhanoa, however, added that the possibility of such a scenario was "low". "We need a strength of 42 squadrons to carry out full spectrum operations in a two-front (war) scenario. It does not mean that we are not capable of fighting a two-front (war) as we speak. The IAF chief, however, said no air force assets were involved during the Myanmar operation and the surgical strike across the LoC in Jammu and Kashmir last year.
