They look like SF, but with INSAS rifles ? IS this some special jungle unit i don't know ?

Not SF, regular infantry on a jungle course.

Love that Tavor

(S-TAR) likely belongs to the dedicated marksmen of the team.

Commando School MHOW..The school where Ghataks are trained.

The guy with the handgun aimed at his temple is pretty smart ..

Nice bicycle helmet btwn.

If US SOF could wear skateboarding helmets then whats wrong with bicycle helmets and you know where the elbow guards and knee guards come from.

Those are not really "skateboard" helmets rather military grades ones and usually were/are worn for mostly non combat purposes like Halo,HAHO,climbing,training etc..and rarely in real combat...

And in some cases for "bump protection".. Since 70s..due to their mobility/weight etc... And was replaced by MICH and other helmets... By early 2000s;

I am talking about the first generation helmets..they picked up skateboarding helmets and rightly so becuase the BP helmets hardly had any protection when slithering which the operators thought is more risky than direct fire.

These were the first generation helmets ... And we're worn because the ballistic ones were bulky and in other cases also hindered the sight of operators .. Those issues were handled with the arrival of helmets like MICH,FAST or ACH..

Now these are almost done or only (exceptional cases) used in training ex.

Like they say..when in doubt look at the shoes.

When i see such pictures of rebels with govt equipment the only thing i feel is they would have killed someone to get these equipments and then people like Omar say that this guy was not involved in terrorism incidents.

Its high time the Army bans local shops from selling Army camo..it should be exclusively in the hands of Army.

I know buddy this is what i said.Our SF operators are using them in training exercises too for slithering as the other helmet is bulky and will make your head look like a watermelon thrown from the 5th floor if a slithering accident happens.

We are inducting FAST helmets but the pace is slow.

A lot of things going on with regard to the Indian SF..a lot of new camo..shoes..helmets.Next 3 years look like fun for us.

Haha, too true.

I think the Indian SF are being given more focus than ever so I don't doubt it. That said, I'm still waiting for the SOCOM to be offcially rasied (I am led to beleive it has unoffcially been raised in part) with its own dedicated budget and autonomy. THAT will be the true catalyst for rapid change within the Indian SF.

Ya the boys are getting a lot of good stuff.These pics you see here everyday with young operators acting crazy in front of the camera are from their instagram accounts.I stumbled upon one such account and by god they have some good stuff man.
