Speaking at a ceremony at the Sde-Dov base to mark the changing of anti-aircraft commanders, Nechushtan said that the air force is expected to deal with one of the most complex challenges it has ever known.
Nechushtan said, "We are at a point where the force's operational readiness is more important than ever to the security and stability of the country."
