Sources:X.com

The Russian and Ukraine war has entered 3^rd conservative year and there is still no end in sight.

X ‘Twitter’ (account) user named Elite Predators shared a short clip. Where it was seen that sometime was written on the missile.

Here is what that user wrote:

“Russians are writing something in Sanskrit on the 2S7 missile Malka’s one of the largest mobile artillery systems in the world. Can anyone tell what is written on its barrel?”

A closer look of the mantra

One user named hajrahuzur answered what was written on it.

“It is from Nrisimha (Narasimha) Mantra the whole thing is, but it is not all visible

उग्रं वीरं महाविष्णुं ज्वलन्तं सर्वतोमुखम्। नृसिंहं भीषणं भद्रं मृत्युमृत्युं नमाम्यहम् ॥

"I bow to Lord Narasimha, who is fierce, heroic, the great Vishnu, blazing, all-pervading, terrifying yet auspicious, the death of death."

This mantra is a powerful invocation of Lord Narasimha, who is revered for his ferocity in destroying evil.

On the other side, many call it fake and photoshopped. Give a proof, some wrote, and some even told Grok to verify the claim only to get no reply.

[ Many user Grok on X.com to verify any formation that look misleading and fake, and many a time it does reply with a reasonable answer.]

Possibility 1: Influence of Hindu Religion: According to Wikipedia, Russia has around 140,000 followers of Hinduism, reflecting a growing interest among Russians in Indian culture.

Could some Russian soldiers be Hindu? We cannot confirm this possibility, but given the presence of Hinduism in Russia, it cannot be ruled out entirely

Possibility 2: Mantra is powerful tools: In Hinduism, mantras are powerful spiritual tools that can be used to fulfill one's deepest desires. There are countless mantras, each serving a specific purpose—whether for protection, wisdom, success, or divine connection.

It is extremely rare to see a foreign military force incorporating Hindu mantras. According to Hindu belief, if a mantra is chanted correctly with devotion and precision, it can awaken immense cosmic energy.

Possibility 3: Warcry: In Māori culture, the Haka is a traditional war dance performed in a group, combining powerful chanting, rhythmic movements, and precise choreography. Historically used to intimidate opponents before battle, it is also performed today as a symbol of cultural pride, unity, and respect.
