Indeed, and the new camel corps will excel at mountain warfare!
Indian casualties for these parades doubtless exceed those incurred at Galwan:

It's somewhat amusing that the Pakistan Air Force could release their own promotional video using the same imagery.
Don’t laugh. They managed to detect J-10 in Ladakh faster than any radar.
That fact that so many of you find this amusing proves your inexperience. If you were wiser you should be terrified. Wars are won by logistics. India is demonstrating an extraordinary ability to rapidly manoeuvre an dozen men on one motorcycle. Give them 1000 bikes, and they could move an entire infantry division! While the PLA wastes money on lumbering heavy fuel hungry IFVs, the Indian army can nimbly dance across the battlefield on a few bikes! While Chinese soldiers in their metal boxes are blind to the threat of enemy drones, the Indian soldier can spin 360 degrees covering every direction of attack with his rifle ready to fire at all times!
The video looks AI-ish, or atleast visually enhanced if real.
It’s official video from IAF. I don’t see the need for them to release AI or CGI.
The way the Rafale released the flares, it looked like cgi.
We're forgetting the biggest highlight of the Indian military parade, which is the Long-Range Anti-Ship Weapon, supposedly an aeroballistic missile capable of 1500+ km ranges.
There are reports that air- and sea-launched variants are under development, but will likely be significantly scaled down.

Wow, it took me a couple watches but just realised the motorbike videos with the ramps are all AI-generated. This stuff is getting freakishly hard to discern.
If you look closely the first one has the motorbike change into an amorphous blob when it flips and also magically summons a dust cloud when it hits the ground.
Second one is the one that tipped me off with a dude spawning from the bike after the original three shown have fallen off it at the end.
Last one requires a bit of a closer eye but you can see some telltale AI-guessing visually when the guy tries to kick the bike when it comes falling down with distortion around the wheel and the foot. Another subtle clue was also the change of colour of the uniforms from a darker shade to the more typical light brown.
And the last bit of circumstantial evidence that is really only applicable for now and probably redundant in the coming year or so is the 10 second length of each clip.
Overall though, I did have a metaphorical eyebrow raised throughout since it would be odd to have so many different scaffolds or setups within a single parade and especially on the main parade-way where generally you have most vehicles or people marching through anyways. Gotta keep your eyes peeled all the way nowadays...
Rewatched, should be mostly alright. Different flares(with different ingition point), different drop patterns between aircraft.
Maybe a bit weird due to filters, but they're all over the video...
Some observations to add.
(1)obviously signs that Astra is now a weapon. Big progress for IAF, but tbh this gives them late 2000s standard in 2026, which is 2 generations behind the curve. Su-30 (with RCS which can humble strategic airlifter, remember famous fulcrum friendly fire in feb.2022) isn't exactly a right aircraft to be in, when outranged.
(2)Equally, IAF went to depths to show that they do have Meteors(now). Also, lightening instead of Talios.
(3)Rampage integration beyond Mig-29K/UPG was known, but clearly shown. Major boost for IAF, though rationale at this point starts to make less sense: if you want it to be a volume stand off weapon(which it can), buying them from Israel may not be the rational way to spend money.
It's somewhat ironic, but indeed very Indian mix - foreign aircraft with Israeli additions. The only exception is Mig-29UPG.
Also, interestingly, IAF flankers fly with R-73s on outer rails. I wonder if it's conscious decision or just looking cool for the shot.
