It was officially established on 8 October 1932 as an auxiliary air force of the British Empire which honored India's aviation service during World War II with the prefix Royal.
The Indian Air Force has been undergoing a modernization program to replace and upgrade its ageing and outdated equipment since the late 90’s to advanced standards. For that reason, it has started procuring and developing aircraft, weapons, associated technologies, and infrastructures.
