What's new

Pakistan's Special Operations Forces: SSG | SSGN | SSW | SOW | SOG

Lets see.
Older MICH 2001 helmet (Not a big issue).

Old school comtac headset(Not a Modern two way Peltor headset).

Plate carriers(Only limited to some Battalions and Coy like Powindah's and Zarrar. In Navy case some of them have these nice cyote brown plate carriers).

Combat boots still old school some still use old leather boots.

Ancient PVS-7s in abundance. PVS-14s single tube NVGs in small amount and it feels like looking through a toilet paper roll tube. Only one double tube NVG PVS-15 I have seen so far is in use by Air Force Ground Combateers..

Oolder block of M-4 I suspect barrel is still the same. Not reasonable upgrade. Like optics, Extended rail system, suppressors etc...

Lack of IFAKS. I suspect that not everyone carry even a tourniquet with them.

Lacking IR strobes.

IR chem lights.

GPS at least for team leader.
Do not talk about things you don't understand, judging by your post yiu have some knowledge about gear but almost non existent knowledge about an SSG operators load out. Try researching more before claiming things like these guys don't even have IFAKs or cheap basic stuff like IR strobes, or chem lights. This is not some FC wing you are talking about, this is SSG.

Alright mate. That's true they have this cheap equipment. Do everybody have it no.

Only Zarrar and Powinda's are equipped with stuff. All other are somewhat look like regular infantry.

What's your answer to this?

Regarding the joining of SSG, can officers from any branch join the cadre? Like Medical corps, education corps, etc?

Not our Guy in the first picture. He is probably from US MARSOC or maybe ANSF.

He is wearing a M-81 BDU with shoulder pockets which is a NATO thing.

Pakistani BDUs don't have shoulder pockets.

Camouflaged weapon.
The way he organise his vest. Like TQ on the vest NATO SOF mostly do this thing.
Trijicon ACOG, no one in Pakistan Military use a 1000$ optic.

The fact that you refer to Pownindas as some sort of specialist coy or unit on the lines of ZATU shows me that you have very limited knowledge about SSG, it's gear, organisation and personnel. Learn to have a slice of the humble pie and look into stuff instead of acting like some sort of SME on all things SF. Look we may not have gear on the same standards as NATO SF but assuming they are absolute amateurs is just plain stupid look at their track record they make do with what they have and they've pulled off military miracles.

I never said No.3 Cdo Batt. is Coy alright. I have done my research. I know about Zarrar ATU that they are Coy under the umbrella of SSG.

I know about their role how they are structured. You are not the only smart in this room.

I never said I was smart or you were wrong, just that you comparing all of SSG less Powindas and ZATU to complete amateurs like ANSF is ridiculous. I wish I could get into the details you asked for but I neither have the desire or the inclination to debate with someone who is an Army brat or a freshly passed out 2/ Lt or something who thinks he is high speed just because he watched some youtube gear reviews and can regurgitate data off of Wikipedia or the rest of the Internet.
Anyways good day.
Jiye SSG
