Training Indian Special Forces
(i.imgur.com)
It's not exactly efficient is it.
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?
Any nation attacked like this or defended against like this would just have to dissolve in shame.
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.
TIL about coma thighs.
Bollywood films are real and everything in India does involve some kind of dance!
Ministry of silly walks
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.
"On second thought, let's not call an Indian artillery strike. It is a silly process."
"The enemy will become incapacitated when they can't stop themselves from rolling on the floor laughing!"
It's like watching Monty python
Ministry of Silly Military Tactics
Funny walk 👍
Needs some work, I'm sure the ministry will reject the claim for it being to simple and straight forward.
Where do you think they got the idea.
What the fuck did i just watch
Anyway have an upvote
What your girl means when she says she's "hanging" with the girls
And now for something completely different.
This reminds me of the border ceremony between India and Pakistan that is an awesome display of militaries upping each other in silly walks.
Honest question to Indian and Pakistani lemmings:
Does this look cool in its own cultural context?
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!"
I'm disappointed it didn't completely turn into a breakdancing contest halfway through
I swear these get more and more elaborate with each one I see.
"Come on, mateys, step in time...
Load the magazine, step in time...
Never need a reason, Never need a rhyme...
Fire at will, step in time!"
~~magazine~~ chamber ~~at will~~ on my mark
"hut hut hut hut hut hut hut hut"
This is Sikh
Not a rehearsal for a Bollywood movie about war?
Be careful, their Group Dance move buffs the protagonist unit to absurd levels.
They can’t help it, Bollywood has an AoE over the entire country.
When your general also loves musicals
The hop into crouch is adorable
Is there some utility to all that?
No, but there is some artillery
They're waiting for their applications to the Ministry of Silly Walks to come through.
Don't you see how patriotic and serious they are? They did the very patriotic and very serious walk and everything!
Pageantry is always useful
It's probably a joke they filmed for fun. You never know with the military but none of them are visibly considering killing their butterbar so it's probably the joke thing.
Butterbar?
Slang for a 2nd lieutenant (lowest ranking officer in the army) because their insignia is a gold bar.
Military heads and their little ritual dances.
Wait, are commanders often autistic?
