When Pranab Mukherjee takes over as the President on July 25, the IAF will activate its air defence (AD) shield in and around the capital to thwart any threat to the swearing-in ceremony of the supreme commander of the armed forces.

The air defence network comprising IAF aircraft, man-held air defence missiles, OSA-AK and Pechora air defence missiles would be put in place to take out any possible aerial threat to the city on the occasion and fighter jets like Sukhoi-30MKIs and MiG-21 `Bisons' will be put on a stand-by at nearby airbases, sources said here.

The swearing-in ceremony of Pranab Mukherjee will be held on July 25 at the central hall of Rashtrapati Bhawan.

Such security cover is provided during major events including the Independence Day and Republic Day and was also in place during the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

They said apart from the number of air defence weapons such as the Pechora and OSA-AK surface-to-air missile squadrons deployed in the NCR, fighter jets like Sukhoi-30MKIs and MiG-21 `Bisons' will now be put on a stand-by at nearby airbases.

To further secure the skies over the capital, the airspace may also be closed for the duration of the swearing-in ceremony.

Looks like US president swearing-in ceremony :D
 
Good hay yar.. What about starting curfew, setting fighters in air and having submarines aligned and starting war-tax for the time period of the event? Indian soldiers should also put their rifles up on the shoulder with fingers on the trigger - for ? - Keunke Mukharje Oath uthane wale hain.

Its hilarious stuff :D

No one's going to attack her swearing in from the air any more than they are going to do so in 27 minutes and 56 seconds
 
I guess just a sign of respect and feel good factor, nothing much to read in to it.

Every country puts up a special show when needed, just like the time when the JF17 escorted the Chinese president, was that done coz of threat to the plane he was travelling in?
 
Good to know that this shield is activated once a year ........ :alcoholic:

BTW: why would somebody use missiles to attack Pranab?
