In India, the military parade is more like an outdoor performance and weapons exhibition, which is unique. People can buy tickets to watch, and the biggest feature is the performance of the motorcycle stunt team. Inverted cycling, multi-person cycling, drilling fire rings, etc., these cheating performances are so amazing that they can shock the acrobatic team. Acrobatics and other aspects belong to the float parade during the Indian National Day military parade, similar to the parade after the Chinese National Day military parade.

The higher the leg kick, the stronger the combat power? The Indian military parade kicks in a regular stance are another major feature. The soldiers can put their knees on their chins and toes over their heads, and the height of the kicks is even higher than that of the North Korean female soldiers. The flag-lowering ceremony on the India-Pakistan border has become a scenic spot because of the dramatic stance between the two sides. After all, it is a hometown of yoga and has excellent resilience.

Among European and American countries, France is most in love with military parades. The National Day parade is held almost every year on July 14. The military parades each year have different themes, so they are quite innovative and show the rationality and tolerance of the French.
For example, 2002 is the 200th anniversary of the founding of the American West Point Military Academy, and it is also the first National Day in France after the September 11th incident. In order to reflect the friendship between France and the United States, West Point Military Academy sent 160 people to participate, and the New York Fire Brigade also participated in the French National Day parade with people and cars. The New York Fire Brigade fought bravely to save people during the 9/11 incident, and many firefighters were killed, and they received warm cheers from French audiences.
The Mexican Legion held the eagle in the French National Day parade waiting for inspection.
Every National Day military parade, the French foreign legion , which is walking at the end, is undoubtedly the most popular team. This is not only because their pace during the parade was unique (88 steps per minute, and other French troops were 120 steps), but when passing by the president, the French troops usually walked away from both sides in two rows, but the foreign legions always turned in one direction, indicating that the entire army was united and never separated.
The French foreign legion also has a famous military band. During the military parade, each of the squads walking in front was bearded and carried an axe on their shoulders. This axe had a profound meaning, showing that the soldier was not just a soldier, but also had to do many other things.

Although North Korea does not have a large population, the number of people participating in military parades often exceeds one million.
