Indian Special Forces

[Killswitch]

Since whew did the BSF have Barrret .50 cal sniper rifles? Is this a replacement for the Denel anti-material rifles? Were they bought in bulk?

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Famous Pak propaganda to assuage the public.


And there is no 7 casualties. Fire assault destroyed 4 posts and each post have at least a section or Platoon size strength. So you can figure the real casualties.

Im sure:

Rumor is that it could be cross border raid from the dreaded "Vengeance Brigade" as called by Las Angeles time way back in 90. Could be Pir Panjal Militia from our side.

Kashmir Border Duels, Rhetoric Heat Up
Pakistan: Villagers fear war as India rattles nuclear saber.


May 27, 1998|DEXTER FILKINS | TIMES STAFF WRITER


The Indian soldiers are invisible except for the search beams that leap from the trees at night. Some of the lights are a mere 500 yards from the center of Bandala Seri, easily within range of a modern rifle or machine gun.

Under Fire, Pakistanis Just Huddle Together

Three days ago, Pakistani villagers said, they had to run for their lives when Indian troops opened fire. When the Indians fire into the village at night, the town folk say, residents gather in one hut and huddle together until it ends.

Early Tuesday, the thunder of artillery fire and the crackle of machine guns 30 miles away were clearly audible in Bandala Seri.

Pakistani officials say they do their best to defend villagers but don't have nearly the troops that India does.

Although a few families have fled the border, most have chosen to stay put. "We are Muslims, and we are not afraid of death," said Fazal Karim, who runs a pharmacy in the village.

Last month, in a widely reported incident, 22 villagers were massacred in Bandala Seri by gunmen believed to be from India. The villagers say the gang of a dozen men, all dressed in black, struck in the middle of the night and dropped leaflets to mark the attack.

"Vengeance Brigade," one leaflet said.

"Evil deeds bear evil fruit," said another.

"Ten eyes for one eye, one jaw for a single tooth," said a third.

Blood still stains the walls of several huts.

Villagers Deny Links to Militant Groups

When the Pakistani government accused the Indian government of sponsoring the attack, New Delhi denied any responsibility. Some, including U.S. officials, believe the attack may have come in retaliation for the killing of 26 Indian civilians a week before in the villages of Parankot and Dhakikot.

The villagers in Bandala Seri deny that they have any connection to militant groups or that they have engaged in any attacks on Indians. Karim, the pharmacist, who lost 11 relatives in the massacre, said he would welcome a war with the Indians up on the hill, whether they are armed with nuclear weapons or not. "All the time," Karim said, "I think about revenge."

Folks here express little hope that relations between India and Pakistan, now fraught by nuclear arms, will improve any time soon.

Nizar Ahmed, whose brother, Zufhkar, was wounded in the attack, said the only solution to the problem in Kashmir is a total Indian withdrawal. If the Indians continue to refuse, he said, he doesn't hold out much hope. "In that case," Nizar said, "only atomic weapons will decide our future."

Just pissed on your own self... killing innocent civilians ...

Kashmiris hatred for india.

if you look into the history on founding of the MARCOS , u will see that the initial operatives/trainer were first trained by the Navy SEALS, and thus it can be assume thereafter few operatives even now can join this course , thus allowing them to wear the Seal Trident

Case and point : Gen VK Singh - He has a ranger tab he wears on his uniform - why? cause he has joined completed that course

Okay so not every Marco has it right? Because not all of them complete BUDs. So how does it work? Some Marcos come over to here to America and train and complete the 6 month course? If so, why do some people, like the Navy Seals I met, deny it? Is it classified or something?

 

[Abingdonboy]

Okay so I have a question about the MARCOS. I have seen a lot of pictures which shows them wearing seal tridents. Well, I live in North Carolina, USA, and a couple of my friends have their parents working at Fort Bragg, and I got to meet a couple of Navy Seals and have a talk with them. I was wondering how do the MARCOS have the Seal Trident? Do the Navy Seals even know about this and are they the ones that provide the trident? Please keep in mind I am in no way doubting the MARCOS ability or their credibility. I'm just curious.

Those MARCOs operators who have the SEAL trident have EARNED it. In the 80s MARCOs were raised along the SEAL model and many of the intial MARCOs instructors went to the US to learn from the SEALs. Every few years they send over a small batch of operators to take part in SEAL training and see what they can take back home for their own training.

Curious what pics you are reffering too though, there aren't many pics of MARCOs let alone with SEAL tridents.

They dont look it, definitely not the two you mentioned, who are mostly young, fit.

Gaurds have even demoed tactical insertion from C130, which I doubt any of those guys can demonstrate.
