MARCOs are so disappointing these days, they used to be the best equipped Indian SF unit by a considerable margin but it doesn't seem like they've updated their equipment in almost a decade now, their equipment is inferior to a lot of VBSS units of Western navies.

One of its helicopters crash-landed and the other is unfit for flying
The only two helicopters available with the National Security Guard (NSG), India’s counter-terror force, have been grounded. It requires air mobility to cover short distances in case of a terror attack, but the force has been without a helicopter for two years.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh reviewed the functioning of the NSG on Monday. At the hour-long meeting, he was briefed by NSG Director-General Sudhir Pratap Singh and other officials. The Director-General informed the Minister that while an MI-5 helicopter crash-landed two years ago, the other was unfit to fly. “One option is to request the BSF’s air wing for at least two helicopters on a 24/7 basis. The Air Force is also there. Though the NSG can requisition any commercial airline, to move forces..., helicopters are required to make intervention in a small area,” an official of the Home Ministry said. Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju, Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi attended the meeting.


Regional hubs

The NSG was set up in 1984 as a federal contingency deployment force to tackle terrorism. After the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, the government opened regional hubs of the NSG in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata to reduce reaction time.

Top sailors from Army and Telangana to be trained

The Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) is equipped with a 50 HP (horse power) four-stroke best-in-class Yamaha OBM (out board motor) with the throttle and gear control also fitted by the Japanese world-leader in marine machinery.

“Its high bow arrow hull design makes it most suitable to cut through the waves effectively and with ease, even in the roughest of seas,” Lt. Col. Bhuwan Khare told The Hindu.

The inflatable upper section is made of imported Neoprene that offers high strength and longevity that comes with ultra violet ray protection, propped up by its rigid fibre hull.

The 5.4-metre long and 2.5-metre wide boat, when out of the water, will rest on a launch trolley. Capable of speed up to 25 knots, it packs enough power to tow, at a time, seven Laser Standard boats back to the shore and safety. A central console ensures excellent manoeuvrability.

“The EMESA went for it primarily to train top sailors from the Army and Telangana, besides using it as a boat for coaches to impart training or press into service in rescue or emergency operations,” said Lt. Col. Khare, Secretary, EMESA.

Since sailing rules prohibit the use of communication devices for participants, there have been instances of capsized boats going adrift in the open seas, driven by strong currents or tidal waves. “It’s a capability enhancer, a high utility vehicle that enables long term and more importantly, fearless training in the open sea,” concluded Lt. Col. Khare.
