Indian Special Forces

[dekho]

Cobras seem to have some of the best camo of any paramilitary organization, even better than the IA's.

I think the way the FN mag is deployed is wasteful. It should have a butt, optics, and an ammo box. It should only take one man to use it ( one of the bigger stronger troops of course).

The version of FNMAG you are asking for is not yet available in the inventory of Indian forces.
M240 which is used by the US army is a man portable version of FNMAG.

This is what CoBRA and rest of the Armed Forces need to replace thier LMGs with.

It should have a butt, optics, and an ammo box.

The use of optics in dense jungles is ridiculous. the visibility is already limited due to dense foliage and the soldiers need to scan their surroundings rapidly, and an optical sight/scope would be useless in close combats of jungles. And anyways the wet surroundings, mud, fog would totally ruin the lenses.

Maybe India should clone the M240 then. As for the optics, perhaps a robust thermal sight could be used, to see hidden enemies in the jungle.


Thanks for replying and the pics.

Nice gear and equipments but they talk too loud for a SF..anyways they are fighting India's internal war so doesnt matter.

They're aren't even SF.

the m-240 is actually a clone of the fn-mag and OFB already manufactures MAG machine guns................. IA FINSAS RFI for 7.62mm lmg has been issued http://indianarmy.nic.in/writereaddata/RFI/41/rfi-iv-180110.pdf ,the contenders to watch out would be iwi negev,fn minimi and perhaps mg-4 if a 7.62 variant exists........

The fat dude said that in every sentence...Was comparing his SF with the best in the world.This is what happens when a undeserving guy is given such post.The Army is fighting for years to remove all these IPS guys from NSG but no joy.

I didnt even bother watching the 2nd clip after what i saw in the first clip...No disrespect but this guy is way too arrogant than he should be..Even Gorkha Ghataks can give his guys a run for their money and he thinks he is even better than MARSOC guys.

I agree, just because he has seen too many Hollywood flicks and done some Wiki reading on SAS and SEALS doesn't mean jack. The COBRAs clearly aren't SF, he knows it we know it- there are only 3 true blue SOFs in India and COBRA isn't one of them- they're not meant to be SF anyway FFS! They are law enforcement!! This guys is a bit of a joke to keep comparing his unit to SEALS and others, there just isn't any need to being doing so. I'm not too keen on this guy myself but he seems to have raised a decent and effective unit so I'll let his BS slide. He just needs to go and park him self at his desk (where he clearly has been for some time, given the size of his waist and the panting whilt trying to show off to the cameras- who's he trying to fool?!!).

The funny thing is, you'd never catch anyone from the "true" SOFs in India talking like this, they're too modest, fond of secrecy and mystery for their own good lol!!!

Yup thatswhy i didnt even watch the second clip...He has a big mouth and his every dialogue proves that he doesnt deserve to be here.Btw he hasnt raised the unit.He is only with the unit for 2 years and the unit was raised 3.5 years ago.

But overall i felt like it is a choreographed show and its a good step for propoganda purposes coz this channel will be wathced in rural India and is a good weapon for Psycological warfare.

But other than that i have respect for them as they are making a great sacrifce staying away from their families and fighting India's war would have loved if some of them are a little humble.

They got trained by Indian Army's Infantry officers and soldiers in the Chattisgarh Battle School and now after wearing imported uniforms they think they are better than MARSOC guys is laughable...I wish the fat guy gets to meet MARCOS and PARA COMMANDOS one day.

P.S-I have seen the fat dude in Kashmir...he used to wear the same 2 stars on his helmet in Srinagar.
