NEW DELHI: When the 'Flying Kremlin' and other ultra-secure aircraft touch down in Delhi this weekend, they won't just bring Russian President Vladimir Putin and other high-profile world leaders to the Brics Summit, they will land with a fully autonomous fortress-on-wheels featuring personal food-testing labs, decoy dignitaries and armoured limousines built to survive landmines and chemical attacks.As Delhi transforms into an impenetrable, multi-layered defensive grid, security personnel are bracing for a high-stakes security operation where AI-aimed snipers scan rooftops, gesture-recognition cameras spot human posture shifts, commandos slither down ropes from hovering helicopters and anti-graffiti strike teams patrol the streets 24/7, guarding against everything from high-tech threats to stealth protest tactics.The capital, sources said, hasn't seen security this tight since the 2023 G20 summit, and preparations this time are even more extensive.
