Crowd favorites were the indigenous Netra early warning system and Akash missile system—both designed to boost India's air defense.
Modern jets like the Rafale, Sukhoi Su-30MKI, and MiG-29 wowed with synchronized flypasts, while the C-17 Globemaster III and C-130J Hercules flexed their heavy-lifting muscles.
Apache helicopters showed off attack moves, and the vintage HAL HT-2 trainer made an appearance, connecting the IAF's rich history with its future.
