NEW DELHI : India marked its 71st Republic Day on Sunday with a parade showcasing some of its newly acquired indigenous capabilities such as the anti-satellite missile, as well as US-made Chinook heavy-lift and Apache attack helicopters. They were led by Inspector Seema Nag who saluted the President while balance on a moving motorcycle. A contingent of the Corps of Army Air Defence, which was awarded colours by the President, also marched for the first time. There were three helicopters, one each from the Army, Navy and Air Force, flying past the saluting dias in a “tri-service formation". Both were inducted into Air Force last year and made their debut at the parade.
