should have been a massive exercise judging by the above image

#ShatrujeetBrigade #IndianArmy conducted an Airborne Exercise to validate its Rapid Response Capability.

The exercise entailed #ParaDrop of #Paratroopers and combat heavy loads including vehicle mounted anti tank and air defence missile detachments over a designated target area from C-130 & AN 32 aircrafts.

The exercise also validated 72 hours of intense integrated battle drills involving mechanised forces demonstrating clockwise precision & seamless integration between #Airforce, #Airborne & #Mechanised troops of #IndianArmy.

Army Aviation graduated to the HAL Pushpak in the late 50s, early 60s
Here is one that was restored back to flying condition and flew over Bengaluru

Easy cold starts I think

Just a cool image with the Typhoon chilling in the foreground

Army even used the Krishak(modified Pushpak) with a 200+ HP engine

Most protected MBT in the Army by far. Experience with MBT Vijayanta with her 4 crew config and Rifled cannon played a big hand in the concept of the MBT Arjun.

Nice tank, actually quite good. Shame it will never enter widespread Indian service and now IA have put a tendor out for Future Armoured tank. Nice pictures though.

Watching some old Republic Day parades
Caught the glimpse of the older Tatra high mobility truck from 1989, no wonder they are liked so much

Best (so far) was 1987 with a massive contingent of Armour
T-55s and Vijayantas were there in number but the real show was the "Combat Team" spearheaded by T-72s, supported by BMP-1, Schilka, Kvadrat, 130 mm SP Catapults, a 105mm Abbot SPH(had not seen that one before) and Cheetahs acting as scouts
