Indian Special Forces

Doesn't surprise me, communists in general crave such validation and seek opportunities to generate propoganda for their domestic audience. Wouldn't surprise me if the teams they sent were their very best and had trained for these specific drills for years/months.

There's little real correlation between these competitions and the abilities of a unit in a real world operation.

For an international competition, one has to send the very best. There is no element of propaganda attached to it. Getting trained for a certain competition is dedication. Chinese have performed excellently in real combat as well. At least, an Indian should not doubt it.

Nope, some countries will send their instructors and dedicated teams for specific events, others will send operational units with little preperation for the specific events.

Of course the value of propoganda enters into such things.

You send a dedicated team or an operational unit, the challenges there in the competition are set in such a manner that it does reveal the overall combat efficiency of any soldier performing there.

Video is removed from YouTube I guess. Search it on Republic Tv website.
My mistake these guys are Paratroopers not SF. There were two episodes one of SF & one of airborne troops.

Was going to say these guys look like PARA (Airborne) and not SFs

Paratroopers:

Both episodes were SO dull, what a disappointment. Most of the time sat around talking and talking basics, nothing new was shown in either episode!

I guess the fact that they filmed at the SFTS (SF training school) and not an operational unit means there wasn't much too show or that they could show but still the only thing cool was the few shots of the water infiltration training:

Looks to be brand spanking new (protective wrapping on the steps), perhaps on its way to the unit?

I believe this guy is from MARCOS? Glad to see Tavors in tan color.

Edit: Found out this guy is Para-SF (thought it could be MARCOS because I thought the guys in white in background were Navy). And the color is Flat Dark Earth...heard of it before but I still prefer to call it desert tan
