As Russian President Vladimir Putin prepares to land in New Delhi for a two-day visit, India has rolled out one of the tightest security grids ever deployed for an international leader. From elite commandos and snipers to AI surveillance and anti-drone systems, a five-tier security bubble will follow him every step of the way.
More than 40 Russian security specialists arrived in Delhi ahead of the visit and have already joined forces with top Indian agencies to secure routes, venues, and airspace.
Layer 1: Russian Presidential Security — The Inner Circle
Putin’s most trusted Federal Protective Service (FSO) operatives will remain closest to him at all times. This includes armed personal guards, encrypted communication teams and emergency evacuation experts.
Layer 2: Special Protection Group (SPG) + NSG Commandos
Whenever Putin joins Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the SPG—India’s highest-level VVIP protection force—will reinforce the inner ring.
National Security Guard (NSG) commandos will form the secondary shield with heavy-duty anti-assault capability.
Layer 3: Snipers & Tactical Surveillance Units
Multiple high-precision sniper teams from Indian and Russian forces have been deployed across rooftops along Putin’s movement paths—from Raj Ghat to Rashtrapati Bhavan and Hyderabad House.
Layer 4: AI-Powered Monitoring & Facial Recognition
A central control room equipped with:
- Live facial recognition systems
- AI-assisted threat mapping
- Real-time movement tracking
This system will continuously monitor crowd behavior and detect anomalies.
Layer 5: Drone Barriers & Electronic Warfare Systems
Anti-drone guns, frequency jammers, and surveillance drones equipped with thermal and night-vision imaging will guard airspace. Unauthorized flying objects will be disabled instantly.
The Itinerary Under Watch
Putin’s schedule includes:
- Ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan
- Visit to Raj Ghat
- Summit meeting with PM Modi at Hyderabad House
- Public event at Bharat Mandapam
- State banquet hosted by President Droupadi Murmu
Every stop has already undergone multi-agency sanitisation.
A Visit Under Maximum Guard
With both nations deploying their best-trained units, Putin’s Delhi visit has become a high-security international event, where technology, strategy and manpower merge into a seamless protective wall.
