This THREAD is more of a RECRUITMENT POSTER then it is an actual statement of the capabilities of the Indian Special Forces. Indian Special Forces lack operational experience. Looking good for a spec op soldier is entirely secondary or as projected in the hollywood or bollywood flicks.
One can already see a lack of commonality of weapon systems with one type using AK-47 and others using FN2000, P90 and Tavor brands. Just a note from experience, P90 is not a prefered weapon to have for the force protection of VVIP's as the bullet of 5.7mm penetrates all known bullet proof jackets (including the ones being worn discretely by the VVIP's) and has a very high burst rate at close quarters. (alternative of the MP5A2 is much more manageable in a VVIP protection squad) FN weapons in general are not too user friendly as our PAF SSG have been using them for the last 8 years and they are not very happy with the FN2000 and its complicated operation. P90 however is a very sexy special forces weapon, our PAF SSG has it as do I. Very lethal for CQB encounters. The only drawback? 5.7mm bullet made only by FN Herstal of Belgium
