Indian Air Force (IAF) has just become the first military establishment from India to launch to their mobile 3D game. Named as Guardians of the Skies (GOTS), this game has been developed to inspire and motivate nation’s youth to join IAF and serve the country.
While launching the game in Delhi, Air Marshal S Sukumar said, “It is indeed a significant milestone in our consorted campaign to connect to the best of the boys and the girls among the nation’s youth and motivate them to join the air force so as to become great patriotic men and women ready to serve the country in any situation.”
Targeting the youth, the game has incorporated stunning visuals of air combat scenarios and realistic graphics to showcase the “might of Indian Air Force” in a virtual air combat. Publicly available information about IAF has been utilized while developing this game.
A private vendor was selected to develop this game, which was selected after public tendering process. The next phase of the game would be launched in October.
IAF has clearly stated that modernization of their workforce is right now their number 1 priority, as technology needs to be embraced and understood in order to fight the modern war of information. The intention behind launching this game is to attract and motivate the tech savvy youth and make them realize the power and strength of Indian Air Force.
Storyline of the game
In the game, IAF is engaged with a fictitious nation called ‘Zaruzia’ wherein our fighters are carrying on defense missions to protect the sovereignty of our country. The nation is politically unstable and economically under-developed, and uses war to divert the attention of it’s citizens. The gamer needs to think and act like a real IAF fighter, devising strategy and tactics to destroy enemy’s evil intensions.
Although the game characters and circumstances are fictional, the experience of the war is almost real!

This is really an Innovative Idea to Engage the youth of the country but I don’t think that the game who inspire youth/students to join Indian Air Force because the Students who join army and air force are the ones who have decided to serve the nation since their childhood and so no 3D game would inspire youth according to me
