Indian Special Forces

[Abingdonboy]

Why does a CT unit like NSG need M249?

They are India's last hope in an emergency situation ( I think this line was used by a NSG operator post-26/11) and thus have to be ready to handle anything (within reason) and thus equipped with a vast array of equipment.

@Aminroop @Koovie @Water Car Engineer @Bombaywalla

So cool.




+ @Unknowncommando a lot of NSG pictures are appearing online these days (most at least 1-2 years old), any idea what the sources are? And would you happen to have any pictures of the ongoing "Balanced Iroquois" exercise between NSG and 1st SFG? I'm eagerly awaiting to see such pictures.

MARCOS NSG AND CISF COMMANDOS DURING JOINT TRAINING

Post 26/11 a LOT of emphasis has been put on all these specialist units training with each other (laying the groundwork for the SOCOM of course). I remember there was a picture of an exercise involving all 3 SFs in a joint training in the Andaman's (said to be a regular occurrence now).

Why is there a sudden surge in NSG pics?

Anyways, great pics, keep em coming

 

[Water Car Engineer]

IAF GARUD COMMANDOS(old pics from 2013 air show nagpur)

@Abingdonboy @Koovie guys most of the pics are from fb and random google searches. And i am trying to get more pics and more info about ' Balanced Iroquois'. But not able to find. I am expecting pics from US media side. May be to maintain secrecy they are not releasing pics. Hope we can see more of them soon.
@Roybot dude calm down i was my self present at the air show and i had a long chat with the garuds that day. They said most of the people dont really understand their gear and all stuff. Thats why they dont carry all the gear and other things. That was just a demonstration to show people how they work. They had it .but There was no need of ballistic eyewear type of thing. They didnt even have bullets in their guns that time. It was drill only.

Fair enough, but tactical sunglasses aren't that bulky an equipment, neither is it too hard to explain what they are meant for. Besides I don't think I have ever seen Indian soldiers with ballistic glasses ever, except for the SPG counter assault team. I could be wrong.

Nice find bro! 1st SFG training with the NSG on the a Delhi Metro train (not sure if it is on the actual Delhi Metro or on the simulated train the NSG have at their training centre).

Where did you find this one?

Don't think I've seen any Garuds with them but I have seen MARCOs, PARA (SF) and even Ghataks with them.

haha no, you didn't miss anything that was it- the PM's motorcade.

One just don't seem to come across such videos at all- in contrast to the arrangements of other heads of states in the world that are all over youtube. I find it quite interesting to see this as normally you only witness the motorcade during official occasions (R-day, I-day etc) from official sources (DD).

One doesn't come across such videos because people don't bother to capture them, I have come across PM's motorcade on this same road like 4-5 times in the last couple of months. If you want I can capture one next time.

Can someone ID the new helmets?
