[Lord Of Gondor]

Oh why not? No confident in LCA performance for Obama to witness?

WTF?!
Tejas is a single engined fighter.
No single engined aircraft(HAL Cheetah,HAL Lancer,Tejas,MiG 21,MiG 27,Mirage 2000 etc) are flown for this event.
The Tejas tableaux will be present.

2. Satellite On The Move

No warfare can be won in the moduern age if there is lack of adequate information. The Satellite On The Move helps the Indian Army to gather information via surveillance and reconnaissance. The satellite also aids in giving exact information on the ground on a real time basis.

Good to see Signal regiment displaying indigeneously developed SOTM.
These can track satellite signals while moving, through a gyro stabilised antenna.

But Brahmos would be highlight for sure.

But LCA has a GE engine. Why is India showing off Russian tanks and planes in front of Obama?

Its a routine and we are doing this for many decades. Doesn't matters who is the guest.

you've problem with color scheme??

generally,color scheme gets picked up depending the system's job as well as its hardware.it may look funny,but most likely it has some reason behind this color scheme..

You've a good imagination, even I could not spot an eyeliner/lipsticks among India's weapons.
But you must understand that bright camos make sense during parade as the main objective is to improve visibility and appeal. Traditional army camos like the dull yellow/beige or the olive green may not be that appealing to the general crowd.
The multi barrel rocket launcher needed to look different.
I agree that we 've been seeing the same thing from last one or 2 years.

don't know whats with Yellow. @Abingdonboy @sancho @Penguin any word on color schemes of missiles??

Oh thats to make it more appealing during the parade.

Warheads:

• Fragmentation high explosive
• Incendiary
• Anti-Tank and Anti-Personnel minelettes
• Anti-Tank bomblettes

Pinaka multi barrel rocket launcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pinaka Multibarrel Rocket Launcher
Rediff On The NeT: India develops multi-barrel rocket launcher system

The rockets can be fitted with wide range of warheads including pre-fragmented high explosive, anti-tank bomblet, anti-tank minelet warhead, anti-personnel mines, incendiary practice and pilot shot. The pre-fragmented warhead delivers 25% to 30% more destructive power than the conventional warhead. The HMX-based composition is used in anti-tank bomblets / minelets to achieve 150mm armour penetration.

Pinaka Multibarrel Rocket Launch (MBRL) System - Army Technology

From the above pics, there are at least three different colors in use on the rockets: black, yellow, white. In addition the very tip has different colors : the white body missile has a yellow tip, the yellow body missile has a white/silver tip. Both of which are different from the parade version, which has a red tip. Pics below confirm black (restricted HE > practice) and yellow (pre fragmented HE) as ordnance types. In addition there is blue (incendiary). The white color may be some cargo round there for (bomblets). The tip color may indicate the type of fuse (ET > silver,
[C]VT > yellow?New Page 6).
