Another interesting aspect of head of the state's security detail with a mix of central govt. and state govt. owners... must be really a tough situation for most of the security details to "sanitize" the area given the size of crowd and location.

It seems in the absence of AugustaWestland VVIP chopper -- the head of state is flying in Mi-17 which is always accompanied by two sister ships

I was watching a video of Modi's recent visit to Thakurnagar, WB and departure using IAF Mi-17. There were three Mi-17s on the ground - The one which Modi was boarding - Reg. Z-3091 seemed like an older variant, There is one which looked like Mi-17 V has huge barrels attached on the outside- are tho...

I think the ferry services should be given to seller to bring the aircraft to India - what is something goes wrong during the ferry service and we end up paying prices for it. Remembering An-32 that was lost over Arabian Sea during Ferry services

On the military front - if you follow some of the military forums and youtube channels associated with BD defense- the honeymoon period with China hardware seems to be over with frequent crashes of their AF and failures of Chinese missiles... http://www.bdmilitary.com/defence-industry-news/banglades...

I think after the fire begining of year INS Shivalik has not gone out in any mission. It must be still in Vizag and possibly going through repairs. In most of the deployment and maritime exercises I have observed two sister ships of Shivalik class but not INS Shivalik

Our fasination with red flags being important. Amazing pics

it certainly looks like Vizag right by Dolphin Nose

Any idea of the timeframe when the OSS pix were taken? The ship appears to have received a new coat of paint - at least to the hull. Look by the flags. https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33579944_10209161038502776_922510261661728768_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&_nc_eui2=AeHqIHxfPOj1wxjTBnnzcUt2kO...
