    Thèse soldiers are theading thé finest line. A single wrong move ans they are officially life long mate with a red crested great pikou bird.

    They look funny doing that, but I wouldn’t fxxk with a single one of those dudes. Probably have thighs as solid as rock and could kick you straight into a coma.

      I was just thinking that this is one of the ways you train for martial arts - it’s all endurance and fast twitch muscles. You extend your leg and it’s a kick. These folks can probably kick an opponent in the head. Repeatedly and quickly.

      It’s an absolutely ridiculous core exercise. This is peak conditioning.

    Any nation attacked like this or defended against like this would just have to dissolve in shame.

    This is a demonstration for the public and TV on Republic Day at the national parade. It’s mostly performative and is meant to be exaggerated and over the top because that’s what’s expected at this parade. Millions of families wake up early morning on Jan 26th every year to watch these performances. They even have performances from school children from different cultures in India, an air show, giant missiles, etc.

      That’s exactly what I thought when I saw this. Exhibition performance.

      Also doing those movements would be a hell of a workout.

    Now this is what I expected to see when I visited India. Do they keep the dancing Indian’s in the special forces? Why didn’t my tuktuk driver act like this?

      Much cooler than the US military who just throw their rifles around, and the UK who stamp a lot and have big hats.

        I don’t care much for military parades but I’d rather watch the Indian/Pakistani one than any old regular western style. Both are kinda ridiculous but at least these are funny to watch with their “oh yeah!? well I can kick THIS high!”
