Prime Minister Narendra Modi attends the final day of the Indian Air Force’s “Wings over Ganges” air show in Varanasi, held to mark the IAF’s 94th anniversary. Reports say the show features fighter jets and helicopters performing aerial manoeuvres over the Ganga from Namo Ghat, with senior officials accompanying Modi.
Several outlets preview the aircraft likely to be on display, listing a mix of frontline fighters and support platforms. These include Su-30MKI, Rafale and indigenous Tejas, alongside transport and helicopter types such as the Light Combat Helicopter Prachand and other aircraft. One report also highlights a Chinook helicopter demonstration and details that aircraft formations form the word “Kashi” using Kiran trainer planes.
Other coverage focuses on the crowds and what people see during the air show. Outlets describe large numbers of spectators along the riverfront during earlier days and note security arrangements. Overall, the sources broadly agree on the event’s purpose, location and scale, with differences mainly in which aircraft and crowd details receive emphasis.
