今年的共和国日阅兵，将见证几个首次亮相，几个首次缺席

NEW DELHI: This year’s Republic Day parade will be unique as it will witness several firsts and several first-time misses. From the participation of troops deployed in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands, India’s first woman fighter pilot, a tableau of newly formed UT of Ladakh to the flypast by the country’s newly acquired multirole Rafale fighters over Rajpath, visitors will be enthralled to see many things for the first time.

新德里：今年的共和国日阅兵将是独一无二的，将见证几个首次亮相和几个首次缺席。从部署在安达曼和尼科巴群岛的军队，印度首位女战机飞行员，新成立联邦属地拉达克的场景造型，到新采购的多用途“阵风”战机在国王大道上空的飞行表演，观众将首次见证这些场景。

However, the country’s 72nd R-Day parade will have no chief guest after more than five decades, no participation of military veterans and even no stunts by motorcycle daredevils. “Due to Covid restrictions, even the route of the parade has been curtailed till National Stadium (C-Hexagon of India Gate) unlike previous years when it was till Red Fort. Also, the size of marching contingents has been reduced from regular 144 to 96 so that marching personnel can maintain social distancing. Even the number of spectators has also been cut down to 25,000 from 1.5 lakh,” Chief of staff (Delhi area) Major General Alok Kacker, who is also the parade second-in-command, announced on Saturday. Mask has been made mandatory for all personnel marching in rows.

然而，50多年来，印度的第72次国庆日阅兵将不会有主要嘉宾出席，不会有退伍军人参加，甚至不会有摩托车特技表演。“由于新冠肺炎疫情的限制，甚至阅兵路线都被缩短到国家体育场(印度门C-Hexagon)，不像前几年一直到红堡。此外，方队的规模也从144人减少到96人，这样就可以保持社交距离。就连观礼的人数也从15万人减少到了2.5万人。”所有参加游行的人员都必须戴口罩。

The star attraction of the parade will be in the sky when IAF will display the country’s air prowess amid times of the LAC standoff with . A total of 42 aircraft will fly in different formations but all eyes will be on a Rafale fighter when it will do a “vertical charlie” at the end of the flypast. part from two Rafales, Sukhoi-30s, MiG-29s, Apache and Chinook choppers will also catch visitors’ attention on Republic Day.

阅兵式的亮点将出现在空中，正值在实控线与对峙期间，印度空军将展示本国空中实力。共有42架战机将以不同的编队飞行，到时候所有的目光都将聚焦在“阵风”战机上，在飞行表演结尾，“阵风”将做“vertical charlie”飞行。除了两架“阵风”，苏霍伊-30、米格-29、阿帕奇和奇努克直升机也将在共和国日吸引观众的注意。

India is becoming more and more powerful nation. All major defence procurements, infrastructure projects, modernisation investments pending for decades during Congress regime are now being cleared with speed and inducted on the ground. Pakis are left behind far far and matter of time we will catch up with .

印度越来越强大了。国大党执政期间，所有主要的国防采购、基础设施项目和现代化投资都拖了几十年，现在迅速审批、引进。巴基佬远远落后了，我们迟早会赶上的。

It is due to Corona virus. Republic Day parade needs every day rehearsals and it is dangerous for people with weak immunity. Hope this answers your question

这是因为新冠病毒。共和国日阅兵需要每天排练，对免疫力弱的人来说是危险的。希望这能解答你的疑惑
