January 25, 2013 17:58
The highlight of the 64th Republic Day, which will take place on Saturday, will be the above 5,000 km range Agni-V missile.
The advanced long range surface-to-surface ballistic missile capable of being launched from anywhere in any direction and within a few minutes from a self-contained road mobile launcher is being paraded by the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
The state-of-the-art missile, which was successfully flight tested in April last year, has provided the true deterrence capability and brought India at par with the elite group of advanced countries possessing this capability.
A mini version of INS Vikramaditya which will join the Naval fleet by the end of this year is being showcased to highlight the Indian Navy's blue water operating capability.
The DRDO will also put on display the Armoured Amphibious Dozer, an indigenously developed versatile Combat Engineer support equipment with excellent earth moving and amphibious capabilities in varied terrain.
Besides, the Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) System and Naval Sonar will also be displayed on Rajpath by the DRDO.
