Republic Day 2022 Celebrations

Pity about the weather....it got in way of ground cameras looking at flypast dynamics above the low cloud layer....though it wasnt as bad as that one time some years back where you could barely see a thing.

I enjoyed the onboard footage (which more than made up for the poor weather), hope they keep that as standard feature going forward now.

The tableaus were kind of cringe, I don't really see the point....they seem out of place.

I think simply having the military gear, military marches...and then some cultural dances is best format. Stunt driving (which again I am not fan of, but ok lot of Indians like it) and flypast to wrap things up at end.

Also for military gear part, dont put it on a truck, sheesh. If its centurion tank, restore it so it can drive....I wanna see it/hear it....not being dollied around as some museum piece.
 
Smog will remain as long as people live in Delhi. One solution to that is to remove all the flypasts except for 1 or 2 symbolic ones, and to do them on rajpath when the monsoon is retreating, like early to mid november. The sky is crystal clear and there is reduced chances of rain.

The onboard footage to me looked like was pre-recorded from the practice runs. The seats were empty in those aerial shots. They just inter-weaved the footage with live footage. Also, there was no degradation in quality during the aerial shots which seemed a little sus. How could fast moving objects transmit such high fidelity footage without any compression degradation? You would need high bandwidth, low range transceivers for such broadcast, seems a little difficult to do when you are moving at 300/400/500 kmph, which would need a lot of signal hopping.

Tableau were fine, but those circus antics looked really embarrassing. I would call them human fidget spinners. What the *censored* is wrong with them? How are they related to celebrating the republic day?

About those military gear part, you have to be a little realistic. Indian military museums aren't very well funded. HAL fails to take care of its domestically produced historical aircrafts. I don't think they could have made those tanks work even if they wanted to.
