Never seen this method of infiltration- fast roping behind a barrier/wall using an aerial assualt platform, very clever!

The Parachute Regiment is the Indian Army’s airborne infantry division. Recognised by the red beret and their insignia of the parachute, wings and an upward dagger the paratroopers are a specialised force capable of rapid aerial deployment and fast response action in hostile territories. Instrumental in various operations over the course of India’s military history -their most recent the 2016 surgical strikes- the regiment trains recruits at the Parachute Regiment Training Center in Bengaluru.

The first Indian airborne regiment, the 50th Parachute Brigade was established in 1945 and saw action during World War II in Burma as part of Operation Dracula. Post war demobilisation saw the troops disbanded and returned to their parent regiments. Independent India raised its own airborne division in 1952 from amongst these para designated forces, starting with 3 battalions. This number has now swelled to 16 battalions of which 8 are the Para Commandos, now called the Special Forces. (Arijit Sen / HT Photo)

Recruits climb vertical ropes during a training session at the Parachute Regiment Training Centre in Bengaluru, India. The regiment saw first war action in 1971 with their deployment in Tangail, greatly speeding up the liberation of Bangladesh. Among the first Indian troops to enter Dhaka, commandos of the parachute regiment also played roles in Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir during the ‘71 war. They were also involved in the recapture of Mushkoh and Batalik sectors in the Kargil war. (Arijit Sen / HT Photo)

Recruits walk high altitude beams during a manoeuvre called the confidence walk. The parachute regiment had earlier played peacekeeping and medical roles during the Koran War, providing assistance to UN and Republic of Korea’s troops along with humanitarian assistance. The regiment earned the title of the ‘Maroon Angels’ for their endeavours. Over the years active engagements have also taken them to Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Africa. (Arijit Sen / HT Photo)

The rigorous training of these soldiers who live by the regimental motto of ‘Shatrujit’ or conqueror involves extensive short range warfare involving shooting, grenade handling and sniper training. Hand to hand combat, martial arts, infiltration practices and the eponymous parachute descent also go in to the making of an Indian paratrooper --a period that lasts 3.5 years for the special forces operators.

Members of the parachute regiment also hold the distinction of conducting India’s first overseas military intervention under ‘Operation Cactus’ during the 1988 Maldives coup d’état which was foiled by the engagement of the parachute regiment and their thwarting of the People’s Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam. The effort strengthened India’s ties with the island nation. (Arijit Sen / HT Photo)

The training for the special forces battalions of the parachute regiment, while continual is also among the longest anywhere. Once deemed airborne, a paratrooper has the option of moving towards specialised operations with training testing human extremes both physically and mentally. One is only deemed fully incorporated into the regiment having completed an year operating in hostile territories leading. The Special Forces are distinguished by their ‘balidaan’ badge.

They should've tested Garuds in the Pathankot operation as they are the ones designated to protect air bases instead of NSG. Even though Garuds are involved in certain ops, this would've brought them in the limelight as all we hear about Indian Special forces is only about NSG or Para SF

Garuds were one of the first responders. You are insulting one of the best SF units by being ignorant about their role in killing the Jehadis.

What is it that you found insulting in my post? I am aware that few Garuds were posted in that air base being the first responders and I never questioned their capability. All I said was, if the operation was completely handled by Garuds instead of being an NSG op with relatively fewer Garuds involved, it would've brought them fame and Indian public would be more aware of other spec op teams like the Garuds and Marcos as all Indian media has focused on till now are the Para SF and NSG.

I know spec op teams don't need publicity and fame but that would've given them more operational experience and an opportunity to self-evaluate their strategies and drawbacks as a complete team instead of joint ops. It was only after 26/11 that NSG had a major revamp interms of strategies/equipment & gear as well as establishing NSG bases all across India
