India showcases military might at Republic Day celebrations

India celebrated its 77th Republic Day on Monday with a grand display of its military might on the Kartavya Path, which included missiles, newly raised units, elite marching contingents, and various indigenous weapon systems that were used during Operation Sindoor.The National Flag was unfurled at Kartavya Path, followed by the National Anthem and a thunderous 21-gun salute fired from 105 mm Light Field Guns, an indigenously developed artillery system.

President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, and President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, graced the celebrations as chief guests. The overarching theme of the event at the Kartavya Path, the centrepiece boulevard of the national capital, was 150 years of 'Vande Mataram'.

President Murmu, Costa and von der Leyen, flanked by the Indian president's bodyguards, arrived at the Kartavya Path in a traditional buggy. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, several other Union ministers, the country's top military brass, foreign diplomats, and senior officials were among the spectators.

The parade commenced with the President Droupadi Murmu taking the salute .The parade was led by Parade Commander Lt General Bhavnish Kumar, General Officer Commanding, Delhi Area, a second-generation officer. For the first time, the parade showcased a phased 'Battle Array Format' of the Indian Army that included an aerial component. It featured a high mobility reconnaissance vehicle and India's first indigenously designed armoured light specialist vehicle.

A military contingent from the European Union, carrying military staff flags and flags of Operations Atalanta and Aspides, the naval operations of the grouping, also featured at the parade. It was the EU's first participation in such an event outside of Europe.

Suryastra Universal Rocket Launcher System (URLS) and BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system displayed during the Republic Day parade at the Kartavya Path.

The Republic Day parade concludes with a spectacular display as the Indian Air Force’s Rafale jets performed a precision flypast, thrilling the crowd and capping off the celebrations with a demonstration of India’s aerial strength and prowess.
