See this Gun is now demonstrated with a narrator. The soldiers would slowly demonstrate to allow the narrator , so that civilian who were watching this would understand. This Bofors 155 mm gun had seen war in Kargil at about -40 ( minus 40 ) degree temperatures. This gun had actually won the kargil war in a way . It means that casualties on Indian side was very less because of the gun. For this same reason Pakistan soldiers and their Afghan mercenaries had to leave bunkers and run for their life. In counter fire enemy soldiers could not reach this gun. So India did not lose a single Gun even though these howitzers were heavily used. Bofors howitzer 155 mm can fire up to 25 km plain land. From the heights it can fire to the distance of 32 km !!. What enemy Pakistan could not expect was at the heights of Kargil this Gun was there. This puzzled them because they could not understand how the gun could be brought to the height of 12000 feet !! An artillery gun of 155 mm can not be expected to be there !!! Obviously India's DRDO changed and modulated the gun. There are about 450 such Guns.Now DRDO has come out with their own 155 mm gun which can fire up to 35 km in plain lands and 45 km in heights . TATA company also invented a 155 mm Gun and it can fire up 60 km .

Came for the gun, stayed for the march.

*truck drives up and a bunch of dancing men get out* Enemy: Before we attack, let's watch the show.

Fun fact: this gun helped India to win Kargil war😊

The guys are moving as if they were playing a scene from a Monty Python sketch...

They're just happy and can't contain themselves over their new gun.

If these soldiers walked like a regular person, Gun's deployment time would be much less.

Imagine trying to explain this to someone...

I'm just trying to imagine them running for cover during a shootout, jumping up and down like that with a rifle in their hand.

No offence to India but I could not keep a staight face when I saw them march

On each shell the is a message saying “ Thank you, Come Again”. Good to see Apu got a job as an MC.

All on all, I think, with great respect, the soldiers' special way of walking and handling of the howitzer are more for the show. In real battle, these will not likely to happen. The description said the howitzer can fire 3 shots in 14 seconds, which seems quite true, but it may take some awful long time to load the next 3 rounds. BTW, is this howitzer capable of MRSI?

For all those ridiculing the soldiers in this video. Take Note : This one of the toughest and most disciplined Army in the world. The training these soldiers go through is the toughest in the world. The altitudes and extreme conditions in which these soldiers have fought wars remains unmatched by any Army in the world. whichever nationality you might be from , you should never disrespect soldiers, knowing that you yourselves sit within the comfort of your homes (behind your screens with youtube) safeguarded by the soldiers of your own respective countries. Peace !

came for the guns, stayed for the umpa-lumpa soldiers

i think the way they march is pretty bad ass, also it looks more tidy and easier to see what the men are doing for the spectators

I would love to see the creator of the Astartes series utilizing something like this in his home brew chapter

Enemy 1: "Look! They are setting up that Howitzer again." Enemy 2: "Ok. Let's finish this lunch and then we'll leave."

With that kind of marching they don't need this gun. The enemies will die laughing

nice to see this video here.. I visited this event in Nashik Arty camp in year 2012-13 . It was turning point in my life to join Indian armed forces.

Glad to see the activeness and discipline of the soldiers; obviously this is not a war practice it's more of a drill. Caution: This act is performed by professional drill experts of Indian Army, don't try at home, you might end up being completely exhausted even before firing the first shell.

Obviously very disciplined crew. Just a demonstration from a different culture.

Отличный балет, с-ка. В комплекте должен быть еще хор грузинских солдат!

Big salute to all the Indian solders 🙏🙏🙏

I am amused by the servicemen movement

lmao I was a crewmember on the m777a2 and it took about 8 of us to shoot the gun. not to mention how much of a pain it was to move the gun out of traverse range. and here we have one dude doing donuts on his howitzer.

2 minutes to deploy? I wonder how long it would take without all the jumping and prancing?

The Indian army is best army in world .... If you are indian like .. please like for indian army🇮🇳💂💂👍👍⚔⚔🗡

Imagine taking that to a Macca's drive through? I like a Big Mac meal Deal and I want it NOW!

Why the FU*K are they walking like that? LLOOLL

It's hot on the ground in India.

Okay that is legit a cool design of partial self-propulsion on a howitzer.

8 minutes and a handful of dancers for one shot. At the same time, the Bundeswehr with the self-propelled howitzer 2000 would have already dug up the entire terrain twice.

before they could fire that thing, they already lost all their energy for that kind of stupid marching.

this jumping duck walk killed me :D

The heavy artillery part of Monty python

I think the coolest thing about this video is how they all line up around 45 seconds. I have never seen soliders hop and line up like that before. Seriously cool,lol. Love it :).

Nice dance boys, I hope ya'll don't do that in real world combat.

Отличная техника, слаженный расчёт не одного лишнего движения!

I came for the gun. I stayed for the dancing. 💃

Great video and demonstration, it's nice to see the traditions still alive in the Indian army and the artillery men taking pride in what they do. Good job

If you need to move artillery 360 degrees, you have lost.

Excellent gun. This helped us win war in kargil

Mobile Howitzer Uber: “Do you want the fast way or the fastest way?”

Professional Indian Military. Trained by England's own Monty Python.

The gun only works if you prance around. It’s in the operations manual...

I need one, when my mother in law is approaching my home🙆‍♂️

Screaming Hopping around....waving their arms......perfect target for a drone

India, stop making your soldiers march like that. You've been watching too much Simpsons.

Is it really necessary for them to unload/prepare while dancing like that? Looks like a bunch of rabbits. Lol.

this has got to be one of the best military comedy ever

Rajiv Gandhi's brilliance in procuring the Bofors howitzer for Indian army

hey no offense but those moves are quite hilarious

Ministry of silly walks?

Respected Army Officers and the chiefs, The Demonstration about the miles to beat the charges with the executed limit was Great in actions and the Freaking moves was great in the ground. Thanks for your Demonstration.

guys at the frontline: where's the fire support fire support team: we haven't finish skipping yet.

but why can't they just walk normal?

That is some serious John Cleese funny walks right there!

Good gun and an impressive round explosion.

Wow kya baat he. Army ke jawano ko dekh kar seena chowda ho jata he. Aur Mehnat se Kaam karne ki junoon aa jaati he. Saari thakaan bhul jaata he. Aur zyada energy mehsoos hoti he.

Why do they march like that?

Best flashmob ever

I drove a field artillery major in Germany, and I have seen SP and set piece firing missions dozens of times. This is,, without a doubt, the single most hilarious drills I’ve EVER seen. They are a great team, and also no doubt one cool weapon system. What’s hilarious is the way the gunners prance around like show horses. Props to the team, all around, its just still hilarious the way they,,,” march ?” Would someone tell WHY they drill like that? I mean, isn’t that MORE unsafe?

US: Helicopter carries artillery Russia: Pulls the artillery by hand India: TOKYO DRIFTING THE ARTILLERY

In a country with so many people, how did nobody manage to come out and say they look ridiculous and should change the way they march?

Enemy die by laughing. Good idea

that seems to be a very advanced piece of military equipment

Imagine it becomes a tank in war thunder being able to move itself

6:46 thank me later

I wouldn't want to be infantry on that hill. That was some accurate shooting

Greetings from Sweden! Now we have the Archer!

Fired the 155mm in vietnam great indirect gun . 4th inf div. pleiku 1969.

monty python would be proud of these guys

Looks like a powerful war tool, especially the fast loader system.

In a real war, i had like to see how these soldiers jumping around while loading the gun. Very funny :)

This dancing march is to confuse enemy in thinking it’s a Dance India Dance performance. Best camouflage ever!!

This is a great demonstration on how tradition is a really bad reason for doing something. "We jump around like squirrels on ecstasy because it's tradition! There is zero practical use for it and we look like idiots but this is how we've always done it so we'll just keep on doing it like this. Because it's tradition!"

Cool gun. The march does look silly but it also looks extremely tiring. It must be hard to do that constantly. I mean look how high they light their legs. lol

This might make a good Olympic event... perform this in about 10 ft of water. It could be like synchronized swimming but not.

So... Transformers actually exist! Awesome!!! 😎

That's what I do when I'm running to the toilet because the chicken masala is too hot

Will these jumping jacks also jump in a real war ? Looks like a Bollywood dance movie.

ahhhh my country INDIA......PROUD OF THEM SO MUCH

One like for a country which has second most highest no of towed artillery in the world...🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Kick ass artillery piece but I hardly payed attention to it cause I am laughing so damn hard at those guys! LMFAO they look like damn chickens, WTF kind of military has their men perform that way?!? I can't stop laughing!

The ministry for silly walks.

When we sold howitzers 77 to India, we forgot to tell them they didn't have to cluck around like chickens.

Where can I see the procedure of aiming the piece with those optical implements we used in Sweden ?

99.5% of the comments: Look at those idiots prancing around. .5% of the comments: Wow that's a cool gun.

And I thought north korean marches were funny-looking

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But a Sikh commanding a piece of artillery is very satisfying.

Without excagaration. The Indian army is the most professional army in the world. An army that can march properly is a good army. Look how they march in the Indian Republic day parades.

QUICK! the enemy is coming, Everybody Dance!

This crew took half an hour to get the gun ready, because the jumping chickens took so long.

This looks like a great job ! You get to dance while you work !

രോമാഞ്ചം മാത്രം 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The soldiers were made by Boston Dynamics

at least in battle the enemy will have laugh seeing them march like this hahaha

Those soldiers must be hating & cursing who ever came up with the idea that all that prancing looks "professional". I know I would. Impressive machine. But the more bells and whistles it has, the more that could go wrong at the most important moment.

They claim gun deployment took 2 minutes and the dances took added extra 10 minutes 😂
