'Pakistan Air Force confused it with strength': Ex-IAF fighter pilot explains 'centre of gravity' in warfare

Pakistan confused centre of gravity with strength. Rafale is not our centre of gravity; it is a part of our strength, says the fighter pilot

Former Group Captain Ajay Kumar Ahlawat, a retired Indian Air Force fighter pilot, has said that Pakistan's air force misunderstood the concept of 'centre of gravity' by confusing it with raw strength. Ahlawat was referring to a presentation, where an official from Pakistan Air Force referred to Rafale as the Indian army's centre of gravity.

Explaining the centre of gravity, Ahlawat said: "Prussian general Clausewitz's quotation is often cited. He said, study the enemy as a system, and identify the fulcrum on which everything rests — the hub of power and strength. If you eliminate it, that becomes the most effective use of force."
