In a unique move, the country's defence assets like Main Battle Tank Arjun and BramHos missile will be on display in Parliament complex on Wednesday to make the MPs aware about the country's defence preparedness.
The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will organise a three-day exhibition in the Parliament Complex to showcase various defence products developed indigenously by the organisation.
The exhibition will be inaugurated by Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan.
The DRDO will display the BramHos supersonic cruise missiles, the 'Arjun' main battle tank, Airborne Early Warning and Control System, Multi Barrel Rocket Launched 'Pinaka', Wheel Armoured Paltform and various types of radars among other indigenously products by the DRDO.
