Republic Day Parade 2012- flypast

Yes they were carrying Tavor as well. Looks like all three special forces got Tavor.

AWESOME!! Especially like the two Garuds in combat dress- ballistic eye wear, kevlar gloves, TAR-21s etc etc


For some reason (not that I'm complaining) someone in the MoD has finally woken up to the importance of SOFs and we are now seeing all Indian SOFs with great gear that they deserve to go with their world-class training. Added to that it has happend VERY quickly (last 2-3 years).

Yeah, I have also noticed those two guys in the middle.

Our MoD always wake up late, but when they wake up they go for the best.

This pic is from army day. The smoke screen is to hide from visible and IR imagery systems and IR guided missiles.

Hide what from what ?

If it is such a sensitive technology why put it on display ?

This is not sensitive, widely used but the only thing is you never heard of that.
