I'd be happy if his body armour had some kinds of Pouch attachment system and also with mounting bracket for NVG.

BEL Battle Field Surveillance Radar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

At . 40-50 lakhs per unit, the BFSR costs a third of the price of comparable western systems.[19] Officials have also stated that the BFSR has several superior features compared to radars from competing firms, such as Thales (France), Elta (Israel), BAe (UK), Raytheon (USA) and AMS (Italy).

The BFSR has also notched up foreign sales, with Indonesia ordering 100 units and Sudan ordering 10 radars. Mozambique has also bought some radars for trials. BEL is looking at Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan and some other countries for potential sales. There have been serious sales enquiries from at least 5 countries.

Hi here is an AWESOME vid of IAF Special Forces- THE GURADS:

Rocky, Mayur meet the GARUDs

I would like to make some observations/ ask some questions raised from the vid:
-Good to see some decent equipment- Helmets, thigh holstered side arms, hands-free comns etc
- Good to see how extensively they are trained.
- Shame about INSAS

Now some Qs:
-What sort of training do they receive not shown on this vid? I'm sure they are parachute qualified but can they be inserted into the sea (parachute/jump?)
-How comparable are they to USAF PJs (as they have similar roles) ?
-Are there any more plans to upgrade them (i.e. INSAS to something more tactical and fitting their SF role)?
- Are there any plans to give them their own specialised air assets (USAF PJs fly specialised Black hawks- Pave hawks)?

even still a formidable force and well worth a watch
Thanks, any input from you guys would be great.

SWEET!!!! good find!! GARAUDS are looking great!!!! but definitely agree with you they deserve their own customized helos like Pavehawks (along iwth all other SFs but I MARCOS have this and IA are raising a SOAR) maybe IAF can buy the second hand ones from USAF as I think they are being decommisioned soon and will be replaced by Chinook or V22 or maybe buy some dedicated ones NEW. I would say US is best for this they look after their SF like no other!

Are these guys really SF?? I have doubts
