In a bid to strengthen its fighter aircraft units, the Indian Air Force has transferred more than 2,000 additional men to squadrons to enhance efficiency in operations.

"Over 2,000 technical personnel have been transferred to fighter squadrons to boost their fighting abilities as well as enhance their safety in operations," said IAF sources.

The personnel have been drawn from different command and air headquarters where they were deployed in non-operational tasks, added IAF sources.

The restructuring in the service is being monitored by the IAF chief Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria.

Bhadauria took over as the Chief of Air Staff on October 1 last year.

Apart from restructuring in the headquarters, the Air Force has also implemented the existing strict rules in appointment of support staff for flag officers in service.
