After a gap of about two decades, an indigenously developed aircraft will take to the skies on Republic Day with LCA Tejas joining the fleet of 35 aircraft that will be part of an aerial display.
Besides Tejas, which will lead the contingent of aircraft, the Republic Day parade will also see an array of flying beasts like Mi17 helicopters, Sukhoi Su 30 fighter jets, Advance Light Helicopter Rudra and military transport aircraft C-17 Globe Master.
The flypast is one of the major attractions at the parade as the sky warriors not only display the country’s air prowess, but also perform thrilling manoeuvres. Marut was the last indigenous fighter aircraft to be part of the R-Day flypast in the 1980s and the 90s.
