Russian Military Aircraft Land at Noida Airport Ahead of BRICS Summit and Putin Visit
Three Russian military transport aircraft landed at Noida International Airport for the first time ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, marking the airport's first foreign military landing. The planes, including an IL-76, carried Russian advance teams preparing for President Vladimir Putin's visit and bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi scheduled for September 11. Traditionally, foreign military aircraft have used Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. The arrival reflects heightened security and logistical preparations for the summit and associated diplomatic engagements.
