Indian Special Forces

[noksss]

Most of us Indians have no knowledge about our forces.A normal Indian knows more about SEAL Team 6 than SG or Vikas Unit.

Nevertheless,

Man he talks that he lost around 35 men in the ops .i guess he is referring to the total number of causalities and not on a single op?

He is talking about his entire career of killing over a 100 terrorists(himself) and loosing 35 men under his leadership and sneaking into Pakistan.

Look to be a sniper unit and notice the guy on the right has a Mp-5K with a stock (not seen that in service with the NSG before).

Annoyingly a few still seem to be kicking around I think these are the sniper unit and not an assault team so I guess they would receive them after the assault unit guys. Still


I'm really hoping the NSG just ditch this helmet and go for the FAST helmet, @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR pointed out they have now got a quadrupled budget so they funds should be there.

 

[Dandpatta]

The helmets are ugly and, as you pointed out, offer no ballistic protection.And yes, I am quite sick of seeing these fast-rope "mittens" in use by Indian forces.

I second you Abingdonboy - those helmets look like they are normal helmets worn by civvies on their Bajaj / Vespa scooters. Difference is only that they are camouflaged.

I appreciate your concern for the safety of our operators buddy but the thing is that this appears to be Sniper team as rightly pointed out by @Abingdonboy so they wont be operating in close quarter combat.

In an operation the bad guys would never even get to see them.Like it always happens with the Indian military due to lack of funds the best equipment goes first to the guys at the front and later to others.

The home minister on the Raising day of NSG promised he would quadruple the equipment,clothing and weapon budget.

Just wait for a few years and you will be impressed.

CAPTAIN JAIDEV THE PARACHUTE REGIMENT (SPECIAL FORCES)
KIRTI CHAKRA
3RD BATTALION THE RASHTRIYA RIFLES

On the evening of 19 June 2014, 3 Rashtriya Rifles received intelligence about presence of three terrorists in Buts village of Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir. A joint operation of 3 Rashtriya Rifles and 10 PARA (SF) was launched. Captain Jaidev swung into action and rushed with a small team of seven to seek a contact. While deploying, Captain Jaidev saw movement of three suspected terrorists 15 meters ahead, who on being challenged opened indiscriminate fire injuring the officer and his buddy grievously. Seeing that his buddy, who had killed one terrorist, was losing blood fast, the officer dragged him to safety. Undeterred by the injuries in the leg and chest and bleeding profusely, Captain Jaidev in an audacious display of raw courage, displaying conspicuous gallantry and bold fighting spirit, closed in with remaining terrorists under heavy fire and shot them at close quarters. The dying terrorist again fired at Captain Jaidev, injuring him in the face. Despite his near fatal injuries, the officer refused to be evacuated till the termination of operations. In the operation, Captain Jaidev personally neutralised two senior and wanted terrorist commanders. For displaying dauntless courage and extraordinary valour under heavy fire from close quarters in face of certain death, Captain Jaidev is recommended for the award of “KIRTI CHAKRA”.

IC-69696F MAJOR MUKUL SHARMA
SHAURYA CHAKRA
4TH BATTALION
THE PARACHUTE REGIMENT (SPECIAL FORCES)

Major Mukul Sharma was operating in Kashmir Valley since January 2010 and has had a tremendous operational experience. His flair in source handling and conduct of operation is unparalleled. He has led a large number of successful operations resulting into elimination of number of terrorists. On 07 August 2014, Major Mukul Sharma got information of infiltrators in general area of Gagadari Nar at Tangdhar region of Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir. At about 1230 hours Major Mukul Sharma noticed movement of three persons. The three infiltrators immediately opened a hail of fire at the officer. Major Mukul Sharma stood his ground and shot down one infiltrator. He then immediately re-deployed his team to prevent other two infiltrators from escaping. The officer showed tactical acumen and presence of mind to engage the infiltrators throughout the night and prevented them from escaping. On the next day, the officer identified the position of the second infiltrator as he was firing indiscriminately at the search party. Sensing grave danger to his own troops, Major Mukul Sharma acted quickly and with utter disregard to personal safety crawled towards the infiltrator and killed him at a point blank range.

PARATROOPER BALVINDER SINGH (POSTHUMOUS),
SHAURYA CHAKRA

Paratrooper Balvinder Singh was the leading scout of Squad No 3 of Assault Troop positioned at Samba tasked to undertake a Search and Destroy Operation on 27 November 2014 against infiltrated terrorists who were holding out in a fierce gun battle against security forces on Kathar West DCB in Arnia Sector of Jammu District of Jammu and Kashmir. Under covering fire provided by Havildar Pawan Singh, and displaying heroic initiative and exemplary field craft with utter disregard to personal safety, Paratrooper Balvinder Singh stealthily crawled and closed in towards the location of the well concealed terrorist. Sensing danger, the terrorist lobbed two grenades in quick succession and fired bursts from close range towards both Paratrooper Balvinder Singh and Havildar Pawan Singh thereby injuring them. Undeterred despite being grievously wounded and bleeding profusely, the young paratrooper demonstrating unflinching bravery and unvanquishable determination, crawled up stealthily under fire and fired accurate head shots killing the terrorist instantly thus ensuring the safety of his remaining Squad members before attaining martyrdom in the highest traditions of Indian Army. Paratrooper Balvinder Singh displayed exceptional valour, audacity in face of fire and made the supreme sacrifice beyond the call of duty.

Tin buckets are still around though

What i like about this pic is that the guy wearing the worst helmet among them is the most senior among them..speaks a lot about his leadership that too despite not being a Sniper but a support which means in case they get detected he would have to get first into the fight to protect other Snipers.

Not working :/

Strange, I can see it.

Respect...

It is a fashion thing if you ask me.

The only operators who need to hide their face are those involved in Kashmir Spec Ops or the ones who would be part of a 26/11 kind of operation.

A Facebook review about the movie BABY

The whole world vision towards India has changed , in this changed perspective doesn't our intelligence and counter terrorism method too need a change ?
It is surprising that this movie BABY comes in the time of our new national security adviser Mr Ajit Doval talking about "offensive defense" mechanism ie when we simply 'defend' ourselves 10 out of 100 stones sent by our enemies hit us , 'offensive defense' is when we strike at the "source' of the 100 stones and neutralize it .
BABY is a movie which showcases this changing perspective in India , it does it brilliantly with fast paced action, amazing sequences that keep your heart racing all through out the movie.
This movie is far ahead of D Day in the sheer brilliant way it is executed.
There is no rhetoric and no beating about the bush in the movie , the movie is fast not dark , smart not rhetorical and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
A MUST MUST MUST WATCH for every INDIAN !
