Indian Special Forces

[Agnostic_Indian]

Ok, but in this case, where the areas cannot be accessed by land, how is the NDMA supposed to help/evacuate with out aircraft?

Yes in this case we need extra help from army and air force, but what we are experiencing is that the entire responsibility is on their shoulders, if we had a good disaster management team with resources and manpower they could have handled 50%-70% work and forces can help where ever it is needed.

India got one " NDMA" ..nothing much on ground though. every country has a disaster management team, they are the ones who handle it primarily, military is called only when required.here in India our disaster management is almost non existing or non functional so here we call for army whether it's to save a child from a farewell or to rebuild a bridge for commonwealth games.

This is nonsense. The NDMA has the NDRF which is their operational diaster response force. But these guys can't be everywhere, their size is <1% of the IA's so naturally the IA is going to be on the scene speedier and in larger numbers in certain disasters. The NDRF is spread out across the country and they have not deployed their entire force (10,000) to this Uttarakhand effort as there are many other locations they need to and are covering ie NCR, Mumbai, JK etc.


Basically the NDRF is too small, doesn't have the powers to requisition its own a/c and their existence is pretty much unknown by 99% of the Indian population. Have no doubt though that the NDRF is a very well trained, organised and equipped disaster response force.


They are expanding but they are still in their infancy so it will take time for them to get to the optimum.

Hmmm, it's possible- that is a UBGL mounted to some rifle, it's just hard to make out what kind.

Thanks for confirming it buddy...Now my question is that the group of soldiers belong to the Police(can be SOG)..so how come the SOG has Tavor?

The news anchor is talking about the CRPF as well... so it might be CRPF personal ?

Ya...then it might be possible that CRPF guy would be the one with the TAVOR.

HSL To Build Four Mini-Submarines For MARCOS

In another noteworthy development, Vizag-based Hindustan Shipyards Ltd has bagged the contract for building four 500-tonne mini-submarines, which were designed back in the previous decade by Larsen & Toubro. The mini-submarines, to be delivered in the latter half of this decade, will be used exclusively by the Indian Navy&#8217;s MARCOS. The combat management systems have been designed and built by TATA Power SED, while Riva Calzoni will be supplying the periscopes and other masts that will host a SATCOM communications systems and LPI navigation radar. The sonar suite is likely to be supplied by ATLAS Elektronik.
