Third guy from the left. He is definitely Indian Army but doesn't seem to be part of the PARA regmt (beret cap badge). What's the story behind his camo I wonder?




Same USMC jungle MARPAT pattern the CRPF COBRA's wear:

India to put assault rifle contenders through winter trials

Rahul Bedi, New Delhi - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
04 August 2013


The Indian Army is expected to begin long-delayed high-altitude winter trials of five 5.56x45 mm assault rifles in northern Kashmir's Leh region.

The army is choosing from Italy's Beretta ARX160; the Czech Republic's Czeca CZ 805 BREN; Israel Weapon Industries' ACE 1 - a variant of its ACE rifle; and two US contenders: the SIG Sauer SG551 and what Colt calls the Colt Combat Rifle - a variant of the M16A1 designed for the Indian requirement.

After the winter trials they will undergo summer trials in 2014 at Pokhran in the Rajasthan desert.

The selected rifle will replace the locally developed Indian Small Arms System 5.56x45 mm rifle, which the army rejected in 2010-11 due to it being inefficient and "operationally troublesome".

There seems to be a lot of inaccuracies in this article and AFAIK summer trials were conducted and completed in 2012. Also AFAIK th timeline set was inductions beginning mid-2014. The COAS even said as much IIRC.


Post this as a new thread in the Indian defence section bro.
