"The S-400 air defence system, which shot down a Pakistani air forces asset at the longest range in the world, would be showcased on the tableau of the Department of Military Affairs for the first time," Air Commodore Manish Sabharwal said on Friday.

Speaking about the tableau, he said it will showcase how India's Tri-services conducted the operation in perfect coordination.
"It shows all important elements, including the symbolic launch of a BrahMos by a Su-30, which destroyed one of the Pakistani airbases. We have demonstrated air defence elements, such as the S-400, which shot down a Pakistani air force asset at the longest range in the world," he said, adding, "This is to highlight the resolve of our country that together if we fight, victory is inevitable."
India's victory in Operation Sindoor will be a major attraction at the parade, with the jointness of the three wings of the armed forces being prominently displayed.

"One side will feature lethal military weapons that proved crucial during the operation. The other side will depict the destruction of the infrastructure on the side of the adversary," a military official was earlier quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
A formation flying named "Sindoor" comprising Rafale, Su-30, Jaguar and MiG-29 combat jets will feature in the Indian Air Force's Republic Day flypast. The Sindoor formation will comprise two Rafale jets, two MiG-29s, two Su-30s and one Jaguar aircraft—all the combat jets that were part of the decisive military operation in May.
