Invisible Warriors: Scientific Art of Fighter Controlling is on the evolution of air defence in the Indian context, from the perspective of fighter controllers-who are an integral and vital part. Unlike other combat operations that are only practiced and rehearsed during peacetime, air defence is executed in real-time.
The book is an engaging read, even for those who are not typically associated with the military. It presents intriguing anecdotes and wartime stories, emphasising the critical role played by fighter controllers in war. It brings to the fore the behind-the-scenes complexities involved in planning and executing various operational missions and showcases the camaraderie between fighter pilots and fighter controllers as a team.
The book highlights the stride India has made in the field of indigenising air defence radars, missiles, command and control centres and other associated equipment. This book will serve as a valuable reference for aspiring fighter controllers and military enthusiasts
