Flying Kremlin, decoy jets, AI cameras: How Delhi is securing BRICS leaders
Forget your average VIP motorcade and a couple of plainclothes officers. Delhi's security for the BRICS Summit isn't just raising the bar; it's launched it into geosynchronous orbit. We're talking 'Flying Kremlin' level secrecy, decoy jets playing hide-and-seek with the real ones, and AI cameras so advanced they probably know what you had for breakfast. It's less a diplomatic gathering and more a live-action thriller where every delegate gets their own spy novel plotline, complete with personal food tasters who are probably culinary chemists and decoy dignitaries who are hopefully paid well for the existential crisis of being someone else's stand-in.
These seemingly extravagant measures underscore the critical importance and potential risks associated with hosting a high-profile international summit like BRICS. Delhi has indeed deployed an extensive, multi-layered security apparatus, integrating cutting-edge technology such as AI-powered surveillance with traditional, robust physical security. The deployment of advanced air defense systems, sophisticated cyber-security protocols, and even specialized protocols for individual delegations—like Russia's reported use of personal food-testing labs and decoy officials—are all designed to preempt a wide spectrum of threats, ensuring the safety and seamless conduct of the summit for world leaders.
