Southern Air Command (India): Difference between revisions

The '''Southern Air Command'''(SAC) of the [[Indian Air Force]](IAF) is headquartered in [[Thiruvananthapuram]](Trivandrum), which is in the southern side of [[India]]. This is one among the five [[Command (military formation)|commands]] of IAF. This command was started on 19 July, 1984 and is relatively new among the other commands. The conflicts in [[Srilanka]] and the need for establishing a strong base over the [[Indian Ocean]] resulted to the formation of this new command. The SAC was inaugurated by Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India.<rev>[http://indianairforce.nic.in/show_page.php?pg_id=32&page_type=command&comm_id=5# SAC, IAF]</ref>
