New Delhi: India’s indigenously developed defense capabilities will be a major highlight of this year’s Republic Day parade. Key attractions will include the Army’s newly raised Bhairav Light Commando Battalion, the Shaktibaan Artillery Regiment, and the Ladakh Scouts Mountain Infantry Regiment. In addition, the Indian Air Force’s French-origin Dassault Rafale fighter jets and the indigenously manufactured Russian-origin Sukhoi Su-30MKI combat aircraft will also take to the skies during the parade.
