1,000 drones to light up Delhi sky at ‘Beating Retreat’ ceremony today

For the first time ever, a thousand drones will be dazzled over the nation’s capital Delhi as part of the drone show, which will be the highlight of today’s “beating retreat” ceremony, the Union Ministry of Defence informed.

The event is scheduled to take place at Vijay Chowk in New Delhi on Saturday and will be attended by President and Armed Forces Supreme Commander Ram Nath Kovind. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will also be among the many dignitaries who will witness the show.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the 10-minute drone show will mark the 75th anniversary of independence, which will be celebrated this year, and is called “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav”. It was conceptualized, designed, produced and choreographed under the centre’s Make in India initiative.

The ministry said the drone show was organised by start-up ‘Botlab Dynamics’ and supported by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Delhi and the Ministry of Science and Technology.

For 10 minutes, about 1,000 drones built with indigenous technology will play synchronized background music during the drone show.

“Wu music tunes with Indian enthusiasm will feature this year’s ceremony. A total of 26 performances will attract audiences with stomp music played by bands from the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force and Central Armed Police Force (CAPF). ),” the ministry said Express.

The first band to perform at the event will be the Massed Band playing the “Veer Sainik” tune, followed by the Pipes and Drums Band, CAPF Band, Air Force Band, Navy Band, Army Marching Band and Massed Bands. The ministry said the main command of the ceremony will be Commander Vijay Charles de Cruz.

The event will end with the popular tune of “Sare Jahan Se Acha”.

“Fighting back” is a centuries-old military tradition that dates back to the days when armies broke away from combat at sunset. As soon as the bugle sounded, the troops stopped fighting, put away their weapons, and retreated from the battlefield.

The custom of standing still when the noise recedes has been preserved to this day. Drums sounded, reminiscent of the night when troops were called to their quarters. Colors and standards are boxed, and flags are lowered on retreat.
