Under the instruction of a US soldier assigned to the 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, "Strykehorse," 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, an Indian Army soldier assigned to the 31st Armored Division fires a Javelin missile on October 24 as part of Exercise Yudh Abhyas 09. This is the first time an Indian army soldier has fired the Javelin weapon system. India is currently also evaluating the missile system for a potential buy.

why our army is not following common uniform for all troops...
see the last photo u can see different camo for many soldiers
Yes they look like mercenaries....
but they get the job done....
And I like thier kickass demeanor....
 
They're a professional army, they should get proper uniforms.

Most of the soldiers involved in counter insurgency role in in J&K are soldiers from the Rashtriya Rifels, technically speaking they are a para-military force not a part of the Indian Army. Though they are staffed by Officers & Jawans from the IA on deputation.

The rules are compartively relaxed given the demanding job, so to come across soldiers with different camo patterns and beards is not unusual. It also gives them a distinct look.
