Sir, are you sure, our nation and its people are shocked regarding 17 hours in PNS Mehran Attack and protect assets slow process. I guess, SSG basically not trained well against well-equipped Terrorists.

Yaar, SSG troops are not guards sitting around watching over every nook and corner. They are employed when special operations need to be conducted. Its the job of the police, rangers, NP, Marines and the airmen etc. to secure sites and provide protection.

Secondly, 17 hours is relative. Its relative to what was happening in the environment they were operating in. The fact that the very same base where the P-3s are based also hosts multiple ordnance storage magazines and the SF troops had to be mindful about how they used firepower around these assets.

Secondly, what is coming to fore on this Mehran attack is that there was some internal collusion (by former Naval personnel) and that makes the task hard for any SF force. The Terrorists barricaded themselves inside a building which had limited access and they positioned their people to cover the entrances well. The SSG casualties occurred in the crucial phase of dynamic entry. Its a tough job and I think because of the overall ramifications around the perimeter security failure, SSG/N have not been given their due credit. They responded fast, yet the adversary had the immense knowledge of the layout and used it to their advantage. Given such case, this would be a hard task for any SF.

Failure was on the part of those responsible for securing the site. SSG was the team brought in to react to the situation on the ground. It goes to their credit that while prior to their arrival, the terrorists blew up one Orion (the second one supposedly caught fire), but after their arrival, they restricted the terrorists to areas from where they could no longer damage any further Naval assets. Then they killed 4 of these terrorists after a pretty significant firefight lasting for many hours.

Indeed its a sad event, however it is also part of the trade they are involved in given the number of jumps that take place each year. Based on what I know, a death during training for war is no different than the martyrdom during a shooting war in the Islamic law. May the Almighty grant his family the patience to deal with his loss and may he rest in peace in the eternal abode. Ameen

In addition to the SSG/N.. the operation was cleared up at a rapid pace after the arrival of "zarrar" company from Tarbela.. equipped with cornershot and NVG's.

Santro, what i heard was that Zarar reached the spot but were not 'allowed' to operate. The op was done by SSGN. You know, the istikak majrooh and stuff.

according to some officials , the terrorists were killed within half an hour of the arrival of SF in the morning, but then it took alot of time to secure the area and have a screening op i.e clear check the area of booby traps and/or explosives and such. that does take alot of time considering the area of the base. The SF also needed to be careful in order to not destroy the other equipment present.

Hi guys, I am new at this forum and I am a big fan of Pakistan SSGs. I open this thread for all types of photo collection of SSGs, SSWs and SSNGs. Also VVIP security guards. Please don't upload photos of regular armies, Elite police force such as "No Fear" etc plus not trolling and comparisons.....
