NSG's toys

Thanks, I was looking for a photo of the AK-63D with the NSG. India had acquired a sizeable amount of AK-63Ds from Hungary pre-IPKF or during that time.

Howour Marcos compares with our para.

Marcos are specialized in wet conditions especially, river , lake, sea, underwater type infiltration.

India used MARCOS heavily in JK, they are known as " Dahadhi walle fauji" , terrorist also fear the MARCOS, which ever area the MARCOS move , terrorist leave that zone.

only one Marcos killed in JK. , that was in 90's 20's after that SF got trained in same kind of warfare.

NSG don't use the AK.

Captured prolly!

I like your DP. It's cool.

More like for "familiarisation" training. Most specialist units in the world have a huge array of different types of small arms in their armoury so that their members can become familiar with them and proficient in their workings in case they encounter them in ops.

5 operators, 4 different types of ammo......only the Garuds

Yup. COAS has a personal protection detail of Military Police and PARA (SF) (on deputation).

Weapon is the M4.

Only in Limited Numbers Actually There Inter Agency rivalries Para Usually don't Like It Until special Accusations

Buddies are bonded At Battalion Level So they are Make themselves reserve

Actually it is happened Because there is No Unified Command

Any particular reason for different weapons used by close/personal protection details of PM and army chief?

All three SFs in india receive very very similar training.

Whilst the PARA (SF) undoubtably have the most experience under their belt, the MARCOs are involved "in the fight" in Kashmir also as well as having their own responsibilities in the maritime domain. Meanwhile the Garuds are deployed in Anti-Naxal ops and in high risk/strategic air installations.

One would be surprised by the deployment pattern of all three SF units and it is unfair to try and rank them. They are all top of the line.

Any particular reason for different weapons used by close/personal protection details of PM and army chief?

The M4 is already in service with the PARA (SF) so naturally the COAS's security detail will have access to it.

The PM is guarded by an entirely separate force (SPG) with their own armoury and requirements so have different weapons (P-90 and Fn-2000).

not really, with SF/Marcos things are different, their is no rivalries. Maroc was chosen because of their look.

their is talk to combine all SF into one command direct under PM for strategic operations
