In an "Order of the day" issued on December 3, 1971,  Air Marshal M M Engineer, Air Officer Commanding in Chief , Western Air Command, delcared that the Pakistani air attack on Indian Airports was "war" and directed the units under him to "Destroy the Pakistan war machine". He said :

"The country has been plunged into war by an unscrupulous enemy who has shown cynical contempt for all civlised human values"

"This is his third round and we owe it to posterity that we destroy the evil war machine which has consistently disturbed peace in the Indian Subcontinent"

"It will be your privilage to hurt the enemy where it hurts the most. The fury and courage of our aircrew, the efficiency and endurance of our ground crew, and the unflinching faith of each officer, airman and civilian in the final victory of our great victory is to be a night mare of our enemies"

"it shall be my pleasant duty to share your triumphs and glory"

Air Force officials have remained tight lipped about the Indian plans for retaliation. They have said that the airforce will give the results for public information tommorrow.
