Inauguration of C-295 facility in Vadodara will mark red-letter day for India since it will be the first instance of a private company rolling out a military aircraft in the country.
Main attraction of this year’s parade is Tata-Airbus C-295 aircraft, which will fly for the first time. It will fly in the ‘Arjan formation’, flanked by two C-130 Js.
All-women tri-service contingent will consist of 144 women Agniveers. Republic Day Parade flypast will include debut of IAF's 1st C-295 aircraft & 'Tejas' formation.
At a time when IAF plans to replace even AN-32s, procurement of C295s is likely to come in handy because of load-carrying capacity & its ability to take off on shorter airstrip.
Armenia has procured significant defence equipment from India, including artillery guns, multi-barrel rocket launchers, air defence system, sniper rifles, weapons locating radars, anti-drone weapons.
