Delhi’s Brics Summit Security: AI Snipers, Decoy Jets, and Chemical-Resistant Limousines Guard Putin
· India · Times of India, Indian Express
Delhi is preparing an unprecedented security grid for the upcoming Brics Summit, featuring AI-powered snipers, gesture-recognition cameras, and anti-drone systems to counter threats like unauthorised protests and spray-painting. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s security detail includes a custom-made, landmine-resistant Aurus Senat limousine and the ‘Flying Kremlin’ aircraft, accompanied by decoy jets and advanced missile defences. The capital’s security measures, described as the tightest since the 2023 G20 summit, involve elite Russian and Indian counter-terrorism forces, with every dignitary assigned a code name to prevent confusion. Anti-graffiti teams patrol 24/7 to thwart inflammatory slogans targeting foreign leaders, while unmanned aerial vehicles are monitored for potential threats.
Why it matters
The multi-layered security setup reflects the high stakes of hosting global leaders, particularly amid geopolitical tensions, and underscores India’s capacity to manage large-scale international events. The measures also signal heightened vigilance against evolving protest tactics and technological threats during diplomatic summits.
