The Republic Day Parade will feature India’s S-400 air defence system in a military tableau, highlighting its role in strengthening the country’s aerial defence capabilities. The display is expected to draw attention as part of the annual parade showcasing key military assets and strategic preparedness.
Officials said the tableau will depict the S-400 system as a critical component of India’s air defence network. The system has been credited with intercepting and shooting down hostile aircraft, including Pakistan jets, reinforcing its significance in recent defence narratives. The tableau will form part of the larger Republic Day celebrations, which commemorate the adoption of the Constitution and provide a platform to present India’s defence capabilities to a national and international audience.
The inclusion of the S-400 in the parade is aimed at underlining India’s focus on advanced defence technology and deterrence. The system is designed to track and neutralise multiple aerial threats, including aircraft, missiles and drones, over long distances.
