A Su-30 MKI launching a BrahMos supersonic cruise missile, the Army’s M777 ultra-light howitzers delivering calibrated firepower to neutralise hostile intent and the Navy’s maritime dominance, denying the adversary any operational freedom, have been symbolically showcased in an Operation Sindoor-themed tableau for the Republic Day by the Indian military.
The tri-service tableau, which will roll down the Kartavya Path on January 26, stands as “India’s strongest affirmation that the age of decisive, joint and self-reliant military power has arrived,” officials said on Friday.
The float by the department of military affairs carries the theme Operation Sindoor: Victory Through Jointness and celebrates India’s victory in the operation conducted last year and the jointness the three wings of the armed forces displayed during the decisive action, they said.
The tableau would be a compelling and authoritative representation of the nation’s “evolved military doctrine”, marking a decisive transition to precision, integration and indigenous supremacy.
With a detailed artistic depiction, it showcases the country’s frontline defence platforms such as Rafale jets, Akash air defence system, a Harop loitering munition and the formidable S-400 system, which played a key role during the operation.
