PM Modi's New Advanced Boeing 777 VVIP Plane With Air Force One Like Protection Clicked for the 1st Time

Photographer Andy Egloff has managed to click the first known photo of one of the India's newest VVIP Boeing 777-300 ER with a completely new livery, unlike the one we have seen in the current generation of planes. The two VVIP planes with advanced protection suite will be sourced from U.S. based Boeing aircrafts for Rs 1200 crore.

The plane captured gets a completely white body with the Indian flag running through the lower body. There's India and Bharat (India in hindi) written to represent the country along with a Indian flag on the tail. The current Boeing 747 being used by PM gets the regular Air India livery.
The two VVIP planes will be used to ferry the President and the Prime Minister of the country. The new planes, for the first time, will get self-protection suites for the aircraft in the form of infrared and electronic warfare countermeasures suites, countermeasure dispensing systems and missile warning sensors.

The two planes will arrive in India and will be put out on the field this year. The Indian Air Force has made several visits to the Boeing facility where they frequently contributed with the progress and development of the aircraft. Additionally, as the aircraft now comes with new sophisticated equipment and is owned by the Indian Air Force, it will have military classification.
