The 'high kick' is done when they approach the President of India and salute her, and she returns the salute. They turn their heads toward the President after the high kick. The tanks also turn their barrel toward the President, and then lower it, as part of their salute to her. The floats represent the various states of India. The Republic Day parade is both a military as well as a cultural parade, and happens every year on January 26th, which is the day India became a republic.
The tank was infact an indian Arjun MBT, which is Heavily influenced by the germn Leopard Mbt The parade floats are submitted by each of the 29 states to the Parade to showcase the immense cultural and ethnic diversity of India!
@@AmericansLearn New floats are built each year for each parade and they all have different themes. Very difficult to cover the entire culture and rich traditions from each state on one float so they have a new theme and a new float each year.
I wish they took the influence of the gunner's sight from some other tank though. Arjun MBT has a terrible chink in the armour due to that sight's positioning. Doesn't help that the Pakistani APFSDS can cut right through that part (580-600 mm DOP). Had we just covered that bit up, Arjun's front would have been impregnable even to the best of Paki APFSDS.
@@AmericansLearn Hey, BTW I heard, USMC is getting rid of all of its Abrams, is that true? AFAIK, USMC had around 150 Abrams tanks. What are you going to rely upon for direct fire support now? Seems counterintuitive to me now that US military is pulling out from other theaters like Middle East and pivoting to focus on the Chinese threat. Chinese IADS and PLAAF as well as the sheer amount of interdiction targets means that US forces will be unable to rely on their air support as much as they traditionally have. I mean even with the F-35 and CATS drones, they'll be mostly busy countering enemy air and conducting SEAD. Meanwhile USMC will likely be the first into combat, especially in the island hopping. In such a scenario, fire support from tanks should be very valuable, no? I mean sure the US military knows what it is doing, but I still can't figure out the rationale behind it.
Firstly, Republic day parade has been held on 26th January every year since 1950. 2. The woman saluting towards the parade(actually they're saluting her and she's responding back) is the President of India named Draupadi Murmu. 3. The very first battalion(in brown uniform) to march was the egyption army as this year the president of Egypt was present there as the chief guest.
I am not an expert but one my friend who happens to be in Indian Army said by stomping we represent, "On duty", so they stomp as hard as they can to show their commitment.
Bullshit. It was a parade commander's device to ensure that all were on the same step on giving the command "Eyes right'. I saw the first parade when it was introduced,. That is also one of the three or four other stupid things that unsupervised senior NCOs brought in. First, the stiff-legged gait, that has nothing to do with Indian Army tradition and is a weak copy of the genuine German goose-step, also used by the Russian army; the guard of honour turning their heads to the guest of honour inspecting them; finally, the utterly ridiculous swaying from side to side of pipe bands, in a misunderstanding of the swagger of Highland pipe bands that is natural and not put on for some imaginary effect. Oh, one last word: the original march called for arms to be swung up to parallel to the ground, but only by 30 deg. angle behind the body on the swing back, but currently, a very rigidi and harmful form is followed, where the arm on its forward swing is fully parallel to the ground, so that is all right, and fully parallel on the swing back, which is very harmful for the shoulder joint.
Hi there! Enjoyed watching your reaction!! The different branches of the armed forces are as follows (I may have left something out...if I did, hope people will add to the list!) 1. Army (different regiments. Regiments are drawn either from the 'martial' races or from distinct geographic regions of India) including Infantry, Signals, Engineers and Mechanised. 2. Indian Air Force 3. Indian Coast Guard 4. Indian Navy 5. Police 6. Paramilitary Forces like a. Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) b. Border Security Force (BSF) c. Assam Rifles d. Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) e. Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) 7. Youth Groups like a. National Cadet Corps (NCC) b. National Service Scheme (NSS) 8. Special Forces a. National Security Guard (NSG) b. Marcos (Marine Commando) c. Para d. Garud (Air Force Commandos)
The bike display teams are inherited from British Army tradition. As far back as the mid-1920s I think. British Army had theirs in the Royal Signals Corps. And Indian Army has its bike display team "The Daredevils" in the Corps of Signals as well. Seen their bike display show in person, they can't do all their maneuvers on a straight road, so what is shown here is limited. Much better when you see them ride in a stadium.
High kicks are done to execute a salute while marching The significance of the vehicle is that it represents each state's contribution towards the parade
It all started when for the first time naval Marcos were participated in the March pass that were so hyped by their style of passing that internet got viral & named all parade as hell March . But it were Marcos hell March in army parade .
It happens every year. Every state has a different culture(in fact they are different like countries, and different languages, and yet have underlying similarities). So, the floats represent each state and its culture. Also, that lady saluting every time is the President on the "right" of the march. They are saluting the President, Eyes right! The last ones are similar to Blue Angels but on bikes.
Okk so this is a 26 jan parade which happens at Kartavya path, DELHI(India) and it happens every year with international guests this year it was Egypt's President .. So in this parade all forces participate(ARMY, NAVY, AIRFORCE, GARUD, NSG,PARAMILITARY,CAVALRY,POLICE FORCES) NSG and GARUD are special cuz they are commandos and this year i think NSG did not participated .. ok so this was about the parade to make it more interesting some of the weapons and techs are showed like tanks,radars,missiles etc ... then all the parade contingent while passing through the PRESIDENT OF INDIA salutes her so while saluting all soldiers kick high in the air and turn their head right towards the president and give a salute only the rightest wing of soldiers look in the front to maintain the parade moving in a straight line .. then after this some air show happens in which some planes,jets of airforce are showed ..then there are floats shown from different states because india is the most diverse and culturally rich country in the world.. then there are some bike stunts which are done by INDIAN ARMY.. so this is a gist .. i could write a whole book cuz my father is also a soldier so i know all the regiments and weapons which were shown but it would be tiresome for you to read all that
This army , the Indian Army has fought in WW 1, WW2, Korean war, participants in various peace keeping forces representing UN in different places in Africa, Asia, also they, the Army has been rushes to save Maldives when terrorist attacked the island nation. The Camel brigade is unique the only one in the whole world, know as the Sandaniswar.
The Indian Army contributed medical teams to the Korean War during its duration, but no combatant units. After the war, Indian units were despatched to take custody of prisoners of war and their repatriation. They succeeded in that effort, in spite of terrible controversies between the two former combatant sides, but 80 or 90 troops left over, North Koreans, came to India, and went to other countries that accepted them, all but a handful who stayed on in India!
We are a country that caries ancient with modern, old with new, move in next horizon with roots intact. We are proud of our ancient knowledge, culture and teachings that guve us strong roots with flight to the latest development. India that is Bharat is a country with character of warrior, teacher snd ethics👍👍👍🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
The kick is kinda like a transition between the march position to the salute position, now obviously they can't use the hand for a salute if the have weapons in hand, so that kick is used to initiate the salute position so all soldiers can look to the president as a gesture of salute
Yes, it is used as a coordinating gesture to ensure that all salutes were timed properly, but it is a local introduction, and is not part of regular drill anywhere else.
It's India's Annual Republic Day Parade that takes place every 26th jan. In India, President (Draupadi Murmu in the video) is head of the state and head of all three wings of Army. Parading officers are saluting to the president with their High kicks, hinting to Acknowledge and Respect the president by looking at her. All these parading officers comes from different wings of Army - Air, land and water, each having their special cadre from different regions of the country. As india is a vast country with different geographical features, these special cadre hold specialised expertise, specific to their region. Special attention to Gorkha Unit which are Nepali citizens recruited for Indian army by Indian army and hold a very significant place in indian army. Besides NCC (students wing) state police parade wings, Army bands are some other highlighting features of this prade.
9:38 - I gotta some of those kicks were a bit more impressive than others, but those two gentlemen surprised me. They don't look to be 100% in peak physical shape compared to some of the others, but damn, that's one seriously high kick in dress uniform. Also - Camel cavalry?! - but wait, there's more - CAMO CAMEL CAVALRY?! 🤩
The ones with turban are great Sikh regiment, The ones with Tilted hats are famous Gurkha regiment. The camels are used in high desert guarding, the ones on horse back are lancers who defeated ottoman empire in the battle of Haifa (Israel) where Austrian, German and Turkish officers surrendered to Indian forces. :) So much to learn eh?
These are different Military division s of Indian Army , Navy, and Air force taking part in the Republic day parade. The camels are part of Desert division of Indian Army.
Motorcycle riders are the despatch riders from signal regiment. They are riding indian Royal Enfield Bullet Motorcycles. Most of the weaponry are manufactured in india and tanks are T90 Bhisma manufactured by indian ordinance factory. Floats represent 29 indian states. Camels are the best machines for Thar desert of Pakistan and used by India border guards.😂
These Tableau relates to all 29 STATES and 7 UNION TERRITORIES THEIR CULTURE AND HERITAGE OF INDIA,AS INDIA IS THE LAND OF ALL RELIGIONS AND CULTURE...
No, only selected states or union territories are allowed to participate, depending on the selection of their proposed displays by a central government selection committee.
Every Republic day the Indian army, navy, air force, paramilitary, cost guard, central police, state police, national cadet core (school students) and national service scheme (school students) march led by a Lt. Gen (parade comdr.) and Maj. Gen (parade dy. comdr.) followed by highest gallantry award winners during peace and war times. The different uniforms of the army are from the different regiments of the presidents guard, infantry and armored regiments. Signals, air defense, artillery and special forces (who take up overt ops) guys are in camo.
Growing up in a military school, practicing for Republic Day march was like a routine thing for us, so I guess it's not as exhausting for them because they're seasoned to it. As for the regiments (or divisions in simpler terms), well there are lots of different infantry, artillery, engineering and supply etc. regiments from the Army. Then there's Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, Border Security Force (BSF), Central Reserved Police Force (CRPF), the commandoes, National Security Guard (NSG), National Cadet Corps (NCC), DRDO, Scouts and Guide and a lot more. Someone not from a military background in India knows the same as you do. The tableaus or the floats represent something unique and popular from each state (28) and union territory or UT (8) (provinces that are too distinct to be in another state government but not big enough to have their own state government). The national capital Delhi is also a UT.
It signifies the beginning and the end of the marching salute. When a contingent marches and salutes only the contingent commanders and the deputies (officer's and JCO's) salute while looking in the direction of the higher ranking officer or dignitary and the rest look in the said direction. Only the flank line/file of the said direction looks straight to maintain the formation of the contingent and acts as a guide for the rest of the formation. I think that is also the reason for only sergeant's(NCO's) occupying that line/file.
@@indrajitgupta3280 that's why I wrote occupying and not occupy. It implies that I am speaking, regarding the said contingent and not as a rule or mandate.
Various regiments of Indian Army , various war cries , and various mottos , uniform and tradition these regiments are based on warrior tribes and ethnic groups ....like tgeJat , Sikh , Biharb, Madras MarathaGurkha regiments etc
India has different terrains to guard from deserts, forest and the tallest coldest mountain point Siachen glacier so there are different units with some accommodating religious beliefs like Sikh turbans etc
This is Republic Day Parade not an army parade . It shows India's military achievements and cultural diversity. The parade has 2 parts - Military parade - Here various units of India Army such as - Gorkha Regiment, Punjab Regiment etc ; Indian Navy , Indian Coast Gaurd, Indian Airforce , Indian Paramilitary such as Assam Rifles , Central Reserve Police Force , Border Security Guard (The one with Camel that guards the Thar desert) etc along with National Cadet Corps (youth wing of Indian Armed forces) takes part. There are various Tableau of Air force and navy along with new weapons developed by DRDO ( just like DAPRA of US that develops weapons) Second part is cultural parade where diverse historical/cultural of different states and union territories are shown.
Hi! Can i recommend a few videos for you to react to? 1. "The nuremberg trial" by history scope. Its a great video about what happened to the war criminals after ww2 ( there is also a second video about the tokio trials) 2. "IPNtv: The unconquered". Its a short video about polish history during ww2 and its really well made 3. "America compared: Why other countires treat their people so much better" by Second thought

THIS IS OUR PRIDE DUDE AND THIS IS A WONDER ITSELF WHICH IS CONDUCTED ON 26 TH JANUARY EVERY YEAR..... INDIAN PM MODI INVITED JOE BIDEN IN THIS PARADE OF 2024.... ALONGWITH AUSTRALIA,JAPAN PM
This is a Republic Day Parade..It really should not be called Hell March..This tittle is an andh bhakts stupid fantasy..Indian Army is a prefessional and very diciplined armed force..
The camel marchers are probably the only one in the world where camels are actually in service...they are extremely important as India has a long desert border along pakistan and these camels petrol that very border
Western critique tends to elevate fickleness and condescension to a virtue. You must be commended for your respectful and authentic reactions. Jai Bharath!
The coming 26th January would be much more fascinating, exciting and magnificent.. coz only women soldiers participant are allowed. Nari Shakti at its peak..
Gandhi doesn’t represent our civilisation 😂he was politician and our civilisation is more than 10000years old if we want someone to represent our civilisation it’s bhagwan shree ram who is our ancestor and avatar of bhagwan vishnu
