The Franco-German defense company published a video on social networks announcing a supposed “CAESAR chenillé”, in a humorous action for April Fool’s Day.
The European defense manufacturer KNDS took advantage of April 1 to join the wave of Jokes Day and publish a humorous video about the supposed launch of a new version of the CAESAR artillery system. In the post, the company wrote in French: “KNDS annonce le lancement du #CAESAR chenille“, that is to say, “KNDS announces launch of tracked CAESAR”.
The publication, created with the use of artificial intelligence, attracted attention by showing an unusual version of the well-known CAESAR family self-propelled howitzer, traditionally mounted on wheels, in scenes in which the vehicle appears jumping over sand dunes.
The video was released precisely on the day that France celebrates the “april fools“, expression used for the classic jokes and farces of April 1.
He CAESAR It is one of the best known products of KNDS and appears in the company’s official portfolio in versions such as the CAESAR Mk2, described by the manufacturer as a 155 mm/52 caliber self-propelled artillery system, aimed at high mobility operations.
With this publication, KNDS joined the European tradition of using April 1 for humorous actions on social networks, mixing marketing, digital culture and a touch of irony around one of its most emblematic systems. So far, the publication has been treated on social networks as an occasional joke, and not as a formal product announcement.
