5 layers of security, Russian commandos, AI tech — and a fortress on wheels

by


A security machine already on the ground

Over four dozen specialists from Russia’s Presidential Security Service have already arrived in Delhi and are working with Delhi Police and the NSG to sanitise every road, building and choke point that Putin’s cavalcade may pass through. According to sources, every segment of his movement is being mapped, simulated and monitored.

And at the heart of that web is a vehicle Putin trusts more than anything else.

  • Putin’s Fortress on Wheels — The Aurus Senat

  • Flown in from Moscow wherever Putin travels abroad

  • Often described as a “moving bunker”

  • Fully armoured luxury state limousine built for the Kremlin

  • Can withstand explosives, sniper fire and chemical attacks

  • Air-tight cabin with independent oxygen supply

  • Part of Russia’s “Kortezh” programme to build state-use security vehicles

  • Putin rode with PM Modi in the same Senat during the SCO summit earlier this year

  • Quick specs (publicly known):

  • Built by Aurus Motors

  • Introduced in 2018

  • Run-flat tyres, fire suppression system, encrypted communications

  • Looks like a limousine, performs like a tank disguised as a sedan

Dedicated control rooms fitted with AI surveillance feeds, facial recognition cameras and encrypted radio traffic will track Putin’s movements in real time. Specialised drones will hover above convoy routes, while multiple sniper teams will occupy rooftops and high vantage points.

Officials said the five-layer security protocol will activate the moment Putin’s aircraft lands. The outer perimeter will be guarded by Delhi Police, the mid-layer by NSG units, and the inner circle by Russian agents. When he is alongside Prime Minister Modi, India’s Special Protection Group will integrate with the innermost ring — one of the rare occasions where elite security forces from two nations overlap in a single protective bubble.

Nothing left to chance

The hotel where Putin is staying has been repeatedly swept for security, while Russian teams have pre-cleared every venue on his itinerary. Officials have even drawn up a list of possible impromptu stops, with each spot already being scanned and secured in advance.

A senior official described the security cover as “a moving web of surveillance that never loses sight of the principal.”
