The parade featured a diverse range of combat vehicles, each designed for specific roles. The Kamaz Typhoon, a Russian multi-functional, modular, armored vehicle family, made its presence felt with variants serving as armoured chassis cabs, personnel carriers, and cargo vehicles. The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) presented the versatile WhAP, customizable for roles such as infantry combat, CBRN protection, and ATGM carrier.
The WhAP, a modular 8x8 wheeled combat platform developed by DRDO, was a focal point of the parade. The amphibious vehicle showcased innovative features like a 30mm turret, composite armor, and blast protection. Its role in the parade symbolized India's strides in indigenous military capabilities and the nation's commitment to the "Make In India" initiative.
The Republic Day parade highlighted the importance of armoured vehicles like the MBT Arjun, BMP II Infantry Combat Tanks, and Quick Reaction Fighting Vehicles. These vehicles, equipped with advanced features and weaponry, underscored India's dedication to enhancing its defence capabilities.
The Indian Army's pursuit of Futuristic Infantry Combat Vehicles (FICVs) was evident in the parade. The announcement of an Acceptance of Necessity for procuring new FICVs marked a significant step in modernizing the infantry's mobility and protection.
India showcased its technological prowess with missile systems like BRAHMOS, Nag Anti-Tank Guided Missile, and Akash Air defence Missile System. These systems played a crucial role in demonstrating India's focus on self-reliance in defence production.
The Republic Day 2023 parade was a testament to India's indigenous capabilities in the realm of armoured combat vehicles. The showcased systems not only symbolized the country's commitment to self-reliance but also reflected its technological advancements and military prowess. As India continues to invest in indigenous development, the future promises even more innovative and powerful additions to its defence arsenal.
Looking ahead, India envisions a future where indigenous development takes center stage in the defence sector. With ongoing initiatives and collaborations, the nation aims to strengthen its position as a formidable force in armoured combat. The journey towards innovation and self-sufficiency in defence continues, promising a future marked by cutting-edge technology and indigenous solutions.
