Parade Kekuatan Militer India dalam Foto
India Displays Its Military Might in Pictures
MEMAMERKAN kekuatan militernya dengan tank, pesawat tempur, rudal dan 'skuad anjing' agak kurang menakutkan, India telah meregangkan otot menjelang perayaan mewah tahunan negara dari kemegahan dan arak-arakan.
Memperingati Hari Republik ke-67 yang berlangsung pada Selasa, ribuan warga turun ke jalan hari ini untuk menonton gladi resik diisi dengan kemeriahan warna-warni, tentara unta dan kelopak bunga yang dijatuhkan dari langit oleh helikopter.
Tema besar parade tahun ini, mengadopsi konstitusi India pada 1950, difokuskan terutama keterlibatan hewan. Tak heran apabila unta tampil di parade militer untuk pertama kalinya. (Naskah dan Foto2: MailOnline)
PARADING its military might with tanks, fighter planes, missiles and the somewhat less fearsome 'dog squad', India has been flexing its muscles ahead of the country's annual lavish celebration of pomp and pageantry.
With the 67th Republic Day due to take place on Tuesday, thousands took to the streets today to watch a dress rehearsal filled with colourful fanfare, soldiers on camels and flower petals being dropped from the sky by helicopters.
The theme for this year's grand parade, a celebration of the adoption of the Indian constitution in 1950, has focused primarily on the involvement of animals. It had been suggested that camels would be dropped for the first time ever. (Pictures of MailOnline)
