The second day of the exhibition witnessed bike and horse riding stunts by the soldiers. The visitors were also informed in detail by the soldiers about other weapons and their functions during battle. Intrigued by the event, locals are demanding more such exhibitions in Chhattisgarh by the defence personnel to acquire knowledge about the weaponry. The ETV Bharat team visited the exhibition. The centre of attraction was the Trailer 10mm ground-to-air rocket launcher. It can also eliminate the enemy targets from surface to water. It can accurately target from five kilometres. If the enemy launched an aerial attack the rocket launcher is also capable of shooting a fighter plane down. It is completely infallible in hitting its target. Its induction into the arsenal has boosted the strength of the Army.
The exhibition also aims to instil enthusiasm among the youth to join the army and serve the nation with the utmost honour. They were being apprised of the detailed recruitment process along with the nitty-gritty of the Angiveer scheme.
