What is one of the most impressive part of the day is also to watch the PM motorcade and his entire fleet of cars , jammers and most certainly the SPG , the SPG certainly is very impressive and has the WoW effect , they look the most smart and lethal of all VIP security personal of PM and President that i have seen in the world.
One would be mistaken that SPG motorcade is for a German PM going by the BMW and Merc domination ( with a lone jammer mounted safari) in the convoy!!
Agree though that they do really give out the TFTA effect, esp with their PS-90 guns bared to the aam junta( seem to keep it on open display to all these days unlike earlier)

Loved the clip of the AFA Jodhpur - of the 53 Pilots Course. at 1m04s is Kapil Bhargava - a great friend and contributor to our site. I have passed on the link to him!
Thank you, Saar. All Sarkaari videos. Criminal waste how no effort is made to make them widely & easily accessible. Great to hear a Rakshak was featured in the clip
...may be being naive but at least I was impressed
Without in any way trivializing the value of equipment and materiel, it has been an Indian and BR belief that a military is only as good as its personnel, leadership, and its absolute respect for the people it serves. The BD military quite clearly hews to this principle. Would appreciate BR Bengali/Asomiya knowing bondhus if you could read off those name badges. The BD Military Academy draws inspiration from its motto in the words of the great poet Kazi Nazrul Islam Chiro Unnata Momo Shir
ad is decent but a bit too long for my taste. I must add that I find most IA ads absolutely insipid and even annoying. completely devoid of any imagination.
Short documentary on the life of injured soldiers at Paraplegic Rehabilitation Center Kirkee. People might remember the teabox donation that Jagan posted about 3 years back.

The American "flying boom" refuelling system shown offers much higher fuel flow rates than the probe and drogue used by India and other nations.
If I am right even the USN uses Probe and Drogue and US airforce is kinda unique is using the flying boom.
Old but Gold interview of FM Sam Manekshaw. That it is in excellent hindi was a surprise to me, as I had heard that Sam Manekshaw did not speak good hindi.

Amazing!
This video needs to be solidified in gold and shown to every self respecting Indian. It probably should be a 'must watch' in all schools or converted into a text book history lesson for Students of class V ~ Viii.
The last line is very telling "yeh fauj kabhi haar nahin sakthi"
F-18 accident while landing when the arrester cable broke. The deck crew had to react very quickly to save themselves from the severed cable.
Actually that one guy was both nimble and lucky. I don't think human reactions are fast enough to avoid injury except by luck. 7 injured - 3 seriously. Poor guys.
The IAF lost an M2K in the 80s in a similar situation. The pilot did an extra 360 while heading down and hit the ground. The plane did not bounce off the ground like this one did.
