I said we are getting PKs by spending some M43 rounds at some one instead of dollars..

Oh,I see.LOLzzzz...........

From the last some years MoD has been returning unused money back to the Central Gov! And then they don't acquire proper BPJ's for the infantry. The whole system including the Army top brass is corrupt. This new govt should identify and prosecute these traitors inside Army.

US troops -- white guy -- woodland camo -- US gear.

I feel proud of the fact that Indian soldiers have choosen death before dishonour each and every time and specially the SF.

Indian SF is a highly successful force with no failures but a little high casualty in 84 operations.

And that record speaks for itself when they have conducted raids from Africa to Myanamar.

Over the past 30 years our success was in Sierra Lone,Myanamar,Pakistan,Sri Lanka,Maldives etc.

Deployment on UN missions isn't a big deal even Bangladeshis send their troops -- you will find pics if their "SWADs" in Sudan .. Same goes for a lot of other countries.... As for Maldives,SL and Pak .. Yeah right Maldives lol... The causality rate of indian troops in the short times of their deployment in SL is enough to know better. That's almost the number of our casualties since the last 15 years.. You took that in ?? And ultimately withdrew -- again there are accusations of indian troops involved in the hospital massacre.


Pak? Really okay.. Do you think we didn't conduct business in your country? Do you know we established the SL special forces? From the training -- right down to theselection of the locatipn of their training center ?


Afghanistan? USSR,Bosnia (with the Bosnian mujahideen,Africa,ME,etx etc ?
Myanmar yeah a raid on your own border with Myanmar -- so much to boast about ..

Our SF is not rated anywhere but if the ones which are rated have conducted operations like Pathankot air drop surrender and Lal Masjid plus surrendered against taliban....I laugh at such a list and will wipe my *** with it.

lal mosque was still a success compared to your blunders in Opetation blue star or Bombay Attacks! Where not only you took more casualties but several days to clear those areas and large number of innocent were killed by col - damage by indian troops (specially in blue star) .

SSG managed to save thousands of students in a building with thousands of rooms,underground basements filled with heavily armed and motivated (former- fighters had fought in Afghanistan durin Cold War),dozens of suicide bombers etc!

Surrender against taliban ? Why don't you stfu... Your faggoty claims have been busted seeral times !

Pathan kot air drop surrender ? Pathan kot was destroyed to shit by PAF.. Along with your bases like halwara, etc etc.. Infact Pathan Kot raid is infamous -- which lead to destruction of dozens ofyourjets ! Wipe yours with that.

Indian Army’s Myanmar strike to be a case study in special ops

The Indian Army’s rare strike on foreign soil on June 9 will make it to the force’s elite schools specialising in counter insurgency, jungle warfare and special operations as a case study, a senior army officer told HT.

Indian paratroopers conducted cross-border raids on two insurgent camps in Myanmar –- across the Manipur and Nagaland borders — inflicting “significant casualties” five days after 18 soldiers were killed in Manipur’s Chandel district in the worst attack on security forces in 20 years.

“The operation was a tactical masterpiece and scrutinising it at our teaching establishments will help our military professionals understand the nuances of such strikes,” said the officer, who did not wish to be named because of diplomatic sensitivities.

Two assault teams, consisting of 40 soldiers each, from the elite 21 Para (Special Force) Regiment had penetrated five-seven kilometers inside Myanmar and killed more than 20 insurgents in separate engagements that lasted less than 30 minutes, as first reported by HT on June 10.

The twin raids, authorised by the highest levels in the government, will be studied in minute detail at establishments such as the Counter Insurgency and Jungle Warfare School at Vairengte in Mizoram, Special Forces Training School in Nahan and the Infantry School and Army War College in Mhow, Madhya Pradesh.

The case study will be disseminated to these institutions by the Shimla-based Army Training Command, responsible for developing the force’s concepts and doctrines.

“The Myanmar strikes will make for a superb case study for our soldiers and young leaders. It was a fine demonstration of politico-military will to carry out a punitive strike on foreign soil,” lieutenant general Vinod Bhatia, a paratrooper and former director general of military operations, told HT.

Bhatia stressed it would give soldiers valuable insights into aspects related to planning, preparing, training for and executing such precise operations in unfamiliar territory. “There’s a lot they can learn from the Myanmar raids at the tactical level,” he added

ooh man, stop this nonsense he was talking about daring rescue operations by indian SF in Sierra Leone.. when the hell did the SF of pakistan or Bangladesh or any other Asian country conduct an operation like Operation Khukri during UN deployment??

you just STFU. the casualty rate of IPKF is 1,200 casualties.. the duration is July 1987 – March 1990. still very much less causality when compared to the casualty of Pakistan army in 2 month kargill war, which is 4000.
'Over 4,000 Pakistanis died in Kargil conflict'

and in pakistan army's WoT. Pakistani armed forces have suffered more than 15,000 casualties fighting Taliban extremists in the tribal areas since operations began

totally wrong, SL SF was mostly trained by US army special forces and SAS. yes i agree SSG did also trained them.. so do indian special forces.

As for 1965



IAF Air Chief Marshal P.C.Lal

The Pakistani Army’s special forces were raised as the Special Service Group (SSG) in 1956 using the cadre of 19 (Para) Baloch. This special force was trained in sobotage and disruptive activities behind enemy lines.

On the night of 6th September, around 200 officers and men of the SSG were air-dropped by C-130s near the Indian airbases of Adampur, Pathankot and Halwara on a bold mission to destroy Indian combat aircraft and put the bases out of action. They would then ex-filtrate back to Pakistan, following the numerous rivulets and streams that flow from Punjab back to their home territory.


Pathankot

It was wee hours of the morning when para-troopers landed at Pathankot. The pitch darkness and difficult terrain (it was criss-crossed by canals, streams and the fields were full of water) prevented them from regrouping

Adampur
This group too faced the same fate as the Pathankot team - unable to assemble, they tried to hide in the cornfields during the day. However, the farmers formed mobs and captured them, and some were even killed by the Punjabis. Their Commander, Capt Durrani was also taken POW.

Halwara

Some of the men landed within the airfield perimeter itself and were soon rounded up. However the detachment commander, Major Hazur Hasnain, and one of his men managed to get away in a captured Jeep.

It is clear that troops possesed little knowledge of the terrain and were dropped in too large a number to be effective. The final analysis evealed that more than 180 commandos were dropped out of which 136 were taken prisoners, 22 were killed in encounters with the army, police or the civilians and 22-15 managed to escape to Pakistan. Considering the fact that Pathankot is barely 10 miles from the IB, this number is'nt too much of an achievement.

ooh man, stop this nonsense he was talking about daring rescue operations by indian SF in Sierra Leone.. when the hell did the SF of pakistan or Bangladesh or any other Asian country conduct an operation like Operation Khukri during UN deployment??

So a multinational UN operation against a couple of rebels became a Damn indian SF operation ?


As for Pak - Google it Pak is the largest UN peacekeeper contributor - out forces were never bared from entering nations after accusations of massive child abuse and smuggling ..

you just STFU. the casualty rate of IPKF is 1,200 casualties.. the duration is July 1987 – March 1990. still very much less causality when compared to the casualty of Pakistan army in 2 month kargill war, which is 4000.
'Over 4,000 Pakistanis died in Kargil conflict'

So that's 1200 dead - 30,000+ wounded in 3 years and nothing accomplished apart from massacres like tiomalee hospital massacre and shown the boot... Great !

4000 yeah fuktard with rural deployment being close to 2500 I believe you .. Although your own military doesn't believe the shit stats pushed by a politician who took the flight out after hijacking a plane.. Unfortunately it was your own troops that had to bear humiliation with things like coffin scandal,garbage truck controversy and fake medal stories!

and in pakistan army's WoT. Pakistani armed forces have suffered more than 15,000 casualties fighting Taliban extremists in the tribal areas since operations began
Heavy price: Pakistan says war on terror has cost nearly 50,000 lives there since 9/11 - Washington Time

army fatalities are less than 5000 due to IEDs .. That's a little higher than NATO itself in 15 years....15000 again the fuktard is wilting figures out of his arse ... And spreadin misinformation by quoting terror attacks on police etc!

totally wrong, SL SF was mostly trained by US army special forces and SAS. yes i agree SSG did also trained them.. so do indian special forces.

Word has it even our pilots crushed LTTE fk (apart from Pak mil advisors on ground) during the last operation that exterminated your proxy in Lanka ... Apart from Pak supplying SL with weapons and military systems ... Even today present military chief has studied at our military institutions ..

Even today we are training SFs of various nations but unlike you we don't boast of the smallest things!

clamed only by a foolish brainwashed pakistani... lal mosque was total deserter.. how many SSG died inthat operation?? declaring those killed by your forces as terrorists will only reduce the civilian causalities on official report, that didn't change the fact.

STFU pics of those turds from ted mosque are all over the Internet .. Men armed with automatic weapons,declaration by the aziz n other cunt of having dozens of suicide bombers are also on the internet.... Pics after the operation and the rescue of 13,00 students that were gathered and handed over to their guardians in a stadium are also there !

Total casualties including rangers,police and SSG amount to 11.. With 4-5 being martyred before the operation (during negotiation) by sniper fire (that lead to the operation) are well known!

you have no idea about the blue star operation and the mumbai attack.. during 26/11 the 90% of civilian causality occurred before the SF came for rescue. mumbai attack is a combination of bombing, assault and hostage talking by some Pakistan special forces trained terrorists. pakistani never faced such an attack in this magnitude, so you won't understand.

So 10 guys trained by our special forces got your capital closed for days and fought off thousands of your troops ... Am I missing something here ???

he mean Operation Gibraltar

President Zia-ul-Haq was killed on August 17th, 1988 when a Pakistan Air Force C 130 crashed just five minutes after taking off. Among the dead were Gen. Akhtar Khan, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee and US Ambassador to Islamabad, Arnold Raphel. In accordance with the Indo-Lanka Accord (ILA), the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) was deployed in the temporarily-merged North-Eastern Province, therefore the SLA was confined to barracks. Many felt that Sri Lanka’s relationship with Pakistan could go sour following the Pakistani President’s death. Had that happened, Sri Lanka’s defence would have suffered irreparable damage. In spite of political turmoil, successive governments in Pakistan remained committed to Sri Lanka’s defence right throughout. The tough talking General said at the conclusion of his Colombo visit that had Pakistan been an arms producing country at that time, it would have given anything to Sri Lanka.
In December 1985, Pakistan threw its full weight behind Sri Lanka’s fight against Indian sponsored terrorism with the then President Zia-ul-Haq visiting Colombo on the invitation of President J. R. Jayewardene. During his five-day visit, the Pakistani leader called upon the world to help Sri Lanka preserve its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Brigadier Tariq Mahmood
President Zia-ul-Haq’s arrival on the morning of December 10, 1985 gave a tremendous boost to bilateral relations with Pakistan pledging its unstinted support for the Sri Lankan Army (SLA), to acquire the required expertise in anti-insurgency operations. The visiting President was accompanied by his wife. Pakistan stepped-in as the SLA was struggling to cope up with the rapidly deteriorating situation in the Jaffna peninsula. For want of strength as well as the expertise, the SLA struggled to contain terrorism.

The historic visit took place against the backdrop of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979, which paved the way for unprecedented cooperation among US-led Western powers, Pakistan and China against the Soviets. Pakistan spearheaded a costly destabilization campaign in occupied Afghanistan until the parties to the conflict reached agreement on a Soviet pullout. The former super power began withdrawing forces in May 1988 and completed the process in February 1989.

The SLA had been battling five major terrorist groups, namely the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), People’s Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE), Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO), Eelam People’s Revolutionary Liberation Front (EPRLF) and Eelam Revolutionary Organization of Students (EROS) at the onset of the first eelam war. Except the PLOTE, the other groups worked together as members of the Eelam National Liberation Front (ENLF).

The Pakistan leader’s state visit took place in the wake of the collapse of the Thimpu initiative (July/Aug 1985), and the breakdown of the three-month-long ceasefire (June 18-Sept. 18, 1985) as well as an attempt to extend the same by three more months.

JRJ vows to liquidate terrorists

Although President JRJ declared his intention to take on the terrorists in case Indian initiatives failed to bear fruit, the SLA lacked the strength to conduct a successful ground offensive in early 1986. According to SLA’s 50th anniversary publication, at the end of December 1985, the regular force comprised 1,055 officers and 17,876 other ranks (Volunteer Force comprised 281 officers and 4,771 other rankers), whereas in 1983, the regular force consisted of 615 officers, 9,513 other rankers (Volunteer Force comprised 163 officers and 3,130 other rankers).

Before the eruption of major hostilities in July 1983, the SLA had just a few regular infantry battalions, namely the First battalion of the Sri Lanka Light Infantry (I SLLI) raised on May 12, 1950, First Battalion of the Sri Lanka Sinha Regiment (I SLSR) raised on October 1, 1956 and the First Battalion of the Gemunu Watch (IGW), raised on December 7, 1962.

The fourth infantry formation, the First Battalion of the Rajarata Rifles (I RR), which was raised on January 15, 1980, was disbanded on August 14, 1983 following a revolt by a section of the formation stationed at Saliyapura. This was consequent to I RR troops blamed for violence unleashed in the wake of the killing of a member deployed for election duty in Jaffna on May 18, 1983.

The SLA raised the First Commando Regiment as a squadron on March 15, 1980. It was given the status of a Regiment on March 15, 1986.

Despite the gradual increase in strength, the SLA still couldn’t muster the required strength needed to eradicate terrorism, though President JRJ as well as the then National Security Minister, Lalith Athulathmudali publicly vowed to pursue a military option, in case negotiations failed to produce the desired results.

In an interview with India Today in December 1985, President JRJ vowed to go ahead with military action regardless of the consequences. When India Today asked what a military solution entailed, President JRJ said his government would do everything in its power to achieve ‘complete eradication of terrorist activities in the country’.

JRJ welcomed the Pakistani leader in Colombo close on the heels of his meeting with Indian Premier Rajiv Gandhi on the sidelines of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Dhaka (Dec. 7-8, 1985), to explore ways and means of convincing the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) as well as LTTE, PLOTE, TELO, EPRLF and TELO to resume negotiations.

The main stumbling block for a negotiated settlement was the armed groups’ confidence that they were superior to the SLA. They remained confident of their tactics to counter any move made by the SLA in Jaffna. Their strategies heavily depended on the effective deployment of landmines and ambushes in the peninsula. For want of a cohesive strategy to counter the growing threat, the SLA found itself under siege in August 1985. The situation continued to deteriorate with Jaffna bases totally depending on supplies by sea and air, due to the blockade of overland routes. The SLA couldn’t even maintain overland access between major bases.

Pakistani instructors at Saliyapura

Former Army Commander, General Gerry H. de Silva, in his memoirs titled, A Most Nobel Profession: Memories That Linger, quotes President Zia- ul-Haq as having declared that he was prepared to meet whatever requirements of Sri Lankan armed forces. According to General de Silva, the Pakistani President was responding to an Indian journalist at a media conference held at the Defence Ministry at the conclusion of the state visit.

Gen. de Silva, who had served as Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner in Islamabad in the 1990s, explained how Pakistan had gone out of its way to help the Sri Lankan military to fight terrorists. As Sri Lanka-Pakistan relations expanded, President Zia–ul-Haq had sent the then Regimental Commander of Special Forces, Brigadier Tariq Mahmood to explore ways and means of enhancing training facilities in Sri Lanka. The then Colonel General Staff, Gerry de Silva had to take the Pakistani veteran around the country to select a training facility. After having inspected several bases, Brigadier Mahamood picked Saliyapura, home of the Gajaba Regiment, to launch an intensive training programme for a selected group of officers-Non Commissioned Officers and junior leaders. According to General de Silva, Pakistani instructors trained nearly 500 in two batches. Pakistan also accommodated many Sri Lankan personnel at institutions at home, including at the Infantry Training School, in Quetta.

Pakistan played a major role in the gradual transformation of a once ceremonial army into a formidable fighting force. In fact, during the eelam war I (1983-1987), Pakistan had been the main supplier of small arms, according to General Gerry de Silva.

Indian media onslaught

President Zia-ul-Haq’s visit triggered speculation of a large scale military build-up against terrorist groups operating in the Jaffna peninsula. On behalf of the ENLF, the EPRLF issued a statement from India accusing President JRJ of planning to launch what it called the final offensive targeting the Jaffna peninsula. The EPRLF wouldn’t have issued such a hard hitting statement without the consent of its masters in New Delhi. The EPRLF alleged that the SLA was amassing troops in the peninsula and a fresh offensive was imminent. The propaganda campaign was timed for the Pakistani leader’s visit. An irate President JRJ directed the then Joint Operations Command (JoC) Chief, Lt. Gen. Cyril Ranatunga to counter Indian propaganda. Lt. Gen. Ranatunga issued a strongly worded rebuttal during President Zia-ul-Haq’s presence in Colombo.

Pakistan simply ignored the high profile media campaign directed against growing relations with Sri Lanka. The SLA would have found itself in a catastrophic situation if not for the prompt Pakistan training project launched by President Zia-ul-Haq. Interestingly, the Pakistani leader also accommodated SLA personnel at training facilities in Pakistan. Addressing a seminar in Colombo, which dealt with Pakistan-Sri Lanka relations, on Feb. 23, 2005, General Gerry de Silva, recollected how Islamabad’s growing role perturbed the Indian government during President JRJ’s period. A grateful former Army chief said that Pakistan had accommodated Sri Lankan personnel at Quetta, where young officers received specialist training, while junior leaders underwent intensive anti-terrorist training at Mangla and Shinkiari. President Zia-ul-Haq went to the extent of having a group of Pakistani cooks trained in Colombo to prepare Sri Lankan cuisine for those undergoing training there.

The SLLI, the SLSR, the GW and the newly raised First Battalion of the Gajaba Regiment (IGR), benefited tremendously from training provided by the Pakistanis.

Retired Warrant Officer Class II, T. M. S. Rodrigo, formerly of the Commando Regiment, recollected the role played by Brigadier Tariq Mahmood in facilitating parachute training for Sri Lankan personnel. (Decorated veteran Mahmood died in an accident one year after the death of General Zia-ul-Haq in a plane crash on August 17th, 1988. Some speculated that Mahmood, who was very close to the Pakistani leader, had purposely refrained from opening his parachute at a commemorative ceremony). The Special Service Group (SSG) was in charge of training conducted here. The former commando said that Pakistan had provided expertise in various fields over a period of time, beginning with intense training for the infantry at Saliyapura, Anuradhapura, in early 1986. "Pakistan remained solidly behind us throughout the military campaign until the conclusion of the conflict in May 2009," Rodrigo said, appreciating providing the required help to attain expertise in operations behind enemy lines. Responding to a query, Rodrigo said that the multifaceted Pakistan project had been geared to strengthen the overall fighting capability of the SLA.

Rodrigo, who retired in 2003 after having served the SLA for many years, explained the difficulty in obtaining foreign expertise at the onset of the conflict, due to external factors. The Pakistan project here had been timely and also of critical importance to the SLA’s efforts to build-up strength to face terrorism, he said.

Israeli expertise to handle explosives

One-time Commandant of the elite Special Task Force (STF), retired senior DIG Nimal Lewke recollected the role played by President JRJ’s son, Ravi Jayewardene (RJ) in bringing in foreign experts at a time the police and the military were struggling to tackle terrorism. Much to the surprise of those who had alleged that the government lacked a cohesive strategy to meet the threat of terrorism, the then Defence advisor, RJ, obtained the services of ex-British Special Air Services (SAS) personnel employed by KMS, an expensive firm managing mercenaries. In fact, the STF had been the first to benefit from foreign expertise in counter-terrorism operations in the wake of the Black July 1983 riots. According to Lewke, Israeli army instructors had conducted a special course for a group of security forces and police personnel at the Panagoda cantonment during 1984. Lewke had been among those who underwent training there in explosives handling.
