Putin and Xi Arrive in Delhi with Armoured Vehicles for BRICS SummitPreviousNext

Ahead of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived with their heavily armoured official vehicles: Putin's Aurus Senat limousine and Xi's Hongqi N701. Both cars feature advanced security measures including bulletproof glass, reinforced armour, and secure communication systems. Putin also travelled on his customised Ilyushin IL-96-300PU aircraft, known as the 'Flying Kremlin'. The leaders' motorcades and security arrangements highlight the summit's high-profile diplomatic and security significance.
