The SPG's Sherpas are not for transporting protectees and are not part of any offcial motorcade. These vehicles are used by the SPG's Counter Assualt Team who would require such a "beast" to break contact and absorb the attack as the protectee is evacuated by the Close Protection Team (CPT). For this role the SPG require the maxiumum ammount of firepower and survivability hence why they wear heavier BPJs and all brandish assualt rifles (FN-2000):
+ The NSG have more than 12 such vehicles (eventually they will get more so as to deploy them at all NSG hubs across the country) and the SPG have 4-5.

Indeed!But this is just 40% of what they actually go through.I was hoping they show from day 1 to day 90 but they started from day 40.A glorious video bro! I was planning on doing a very very similar video
No doubt about it, India has the best Special Forces in the region, just give them their own tri-service command already!
@Unknowncommando @hkdas @mkb95 a MILLION thanks for the video(s) bros! Absolutely epic, men apart no doubt.

Operation Cactus 1988, Maldives
With the capture of Maldives, an island nation off the south western coast of India on 3 November 1988 by PLOTE mercenaries, the army turned to the 50 (Independent) Parachute Brigade to carry out an airborne/air transported operation to liberate the country and return power to the legal government. This operation had 6 PARA spearheading the mission. 6 Para flew in on 4 November 1988 in a fleet of IL-76, An-32 and An-12 transport aircraft. One team rescued the president, another took over the airfield and a third rescued Maldivian security personnel besieged in their NSS HQ. Later 7 Para & part of 17 Para Fd Regt were also deployed to the Maldives. When mercenaries tried to escape by sea along with hostages, they were intercepted by the Indian Navy. Thus, 6 Para, 17 Para Fd Regt conducted the first ever international intervention by the Indian army without any loss of life.
In Brief
The operation started on the night of 3 November 1988, when Ilyushin Il-76 aircraft of the Indian Air Force airlifted the elements of the 50th Independent Parachute Brigade, commanded by Brig Farukh Bulsara, the 6th Battalion of the Parachute Regiment, and, the 17th Parachute Field Regiment from Agra Air Force Station and flew them non-stop over 2,000 kilometres (1,240 mi) to land them over the Malé International Airport on Hulhule Island. The Indian Army paratroopers arrived on Hulhule in nine hours after the appeal from President Gayoom.
The Indian paratroopers immediately secured the airfield, crossed over to Male using commandeered boats and rescued President Gayoom. The paratroopers restored control of the capital to President Gayoom's government within hours. Some of the mercenaries fled toward Sri Lanka in a hijacked freighter. Those unable to reach the ship in time were quickly rounded up and handed over to the Maldives government. Nineteen people reportedly died in the fighting, most of them mercenaries. The dead included two hostages killed by the mercenaries. The Indian Navy frigates Godavari and Betwa intercepted the freighter off the Sri Lankan coast, and captured the mercenaries. Swift operation by the military and precise intelligence information successfully quelled the attempted coup d'état in the island nation.
