Indian Special Forces

[Omega007]

Hollywood fanboys who have no connection with people fighting in Kashmir.So when they watch Hollywood movie they connect it to India and just because Marines and Seals rock over there the Marcos have to here.

They dont see that Marines have a long history of operations and experience whereas the Marcos dont.

Para SF has been active since 1965..The Marcos didnt even exist then.

Garuds are basically a force to protect the air bases.They dont have a diver unit..they dont have a Explosive Unit or a unit trained for HAW or Desert Ops.

I am seriously surprised by what people are assuming here.

I mean whats next...Force 1 doing guerilla ops or Kerala Thunderbolts doing HALO jumps?

SFF is under ARMY and there are a few pics to prove it yet people are saying that Marcos are a part of SFF.

Just to make it sound cool they say even SG has Marcos and Garud.

Wow!!MARCOS and Garuds in SG!!Really!!New height of stupidity I must say.Judging by their respective performance so far,they ain't gonna make the cut in next 50 years at least.Mark my words for it.

Besides,many people who claim that MARCOS are trained in HAW and cites their deployment in the Dal lake regions of the lower altitudes,they most probably don't know the difference between mountain warfare and HAW!!There begins all the fu@k ups and then,lo and behold.........you've got MARCOS kicking @rses above 16000 feet altitudes in pure Hollywood style!!Congrats,mission accomplished.

HAWS is no shit...and HAWS is not related to Marcos deployment in Wular...I mean its laughable...These people would never understand but all the best operators in HAW belong to the Army and if you wanna behead me for that then so be it.

We have Ghataks and Infantry units deployed for 3 years in High Altitude and training continously but peoole here say that Commandos based in Vishakhapatnam or Mumbai base and belonging to Navy will beat them in HAW..Really? I mean why dont you book a ticket to Leh and run a few miles to see how you perform as compared to Your home town forget about SF.

Garuds have divers, explosive units and desert terrain expertise according to them.I mean are you kidding me.

In India and sorry to say this again the Gorkha Ghataks can give a run for their money to any SF except in water bodies...and I am not the only one saying that...Many IA officers will agree with my this statement.

Of course.......It's HAW after all!!I remember when I had travelled to the Gurdongmer lake in Sikkim for the first time.Situated at an altitude of about 17400 feet,within a few minutes of our arrival I began to feel the pinch.And I practice bare knuckle fighting,you know how much tiring it is!!I can only imagine the effects of prolonged deployments at far higher altitudes.

Many do not realise that Wular region is not particularly considered to be a high altitude area as per Indian Army standards.What these MARCOS fanboys claim to be a very harsh unforgiving terrain,for the Army it would be like a peace location......literally.

And yeah,the RR Ghataks........especially those trained in the High Altitude Commando School in Tawang and the HAWS in Gulmarg,would definitely prove to be a serious menace to the likes of MARCOS (please lets not bring those Garuds here) if it comes to HAW or jungle warfare.And why just MARCOS,these guys including the Ladakh Scouts would give any top notch western spec ops forces a very tough run for their money,especially at those terrains.

By the way,do you know what's the average training period of an Indian Army soldier??I heard it to be around 12 months.

Peace location at Wular...You are right.BB Cantt is not too far from there j/k

yea it is around 9-12 months but it is a continuous process from Mhow to CBS.

Most
Most of these equipment used by Indian special forces are imported 1 what i mean 2 say is china has build capability with its own indigenous weapon.

Most countries, including the USA import weapons for their SF units!

Why does it matter if the weaponry of SF units (which is usually quit big anyways) is designed at home?

SF units chose what they think is the best for them!

That Chinese jeep has totally nothing to do with the US Humvee

By "peaceful" I meant less hostile terrain and environment.Wullar lake is situated at an average altitude of ~1500 meters,hardly a high altitude area as per Indian Army standards.

By the way,what's the BB Cantonment??

I was kidding...Badami Bagh Cant is the Army base in Srinagar where families are given accomodation.

Today we should remeber all the soldiers who gave their life for the country in Kargil.

It was Ghatak who captured Tiger Hill and 9th Para SF which conducted many operations.

May the dead Rest In Peace and the enemies get a lesson that no matter what the terrain and features the IA soldiers will not let you stand on Indian territory.

Oh yes,the Badami Bagh Army Cantonment!!I've heard about it.

And yes,lest we forget,my utmost respect to the valiant soldiers of the Indian Army,for those who fought in Kargil,those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty,those still living and to those who are guarding the borders right now as we speak.My salute to the ever vigilant sentinels for we can sleep peacefully because you remain awaken,guarding the mountains,the deserts and the jungles to keep us safe.Amen.

I dont know about that it in detail but I have heard they raided Pakistani Army batteries and were successful.

And Marcos are currently active in anti piracy operations plus they are active in and around Srinagar.

I am looking forward to Marcos opening their CIJWS type school in Goa.

Is there a suitable jungle for that in Goa??

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

Is there a suitable jungle for that in Goa??

I dont know...must be.Karnataka coastline would be better IMHO.

 

[Omega007]

Yeah,Karnataka would be definitely better.By the way,one thing always bothers me.I observe that among our SFs and specialised counter terrorism units,it's only the Para SF personnel that never wear body armors.It almost seems like as if they don't even like to use it altogether.Do you have any idea why??

Dude, This was the case in 90s and early 2000s.They basically believed that it wears them down to carry extra load and affects their manoeuvrebility.

But now things have changed.
