Was an excELLANT vid, haven't ad the chance to watch it all the way through yet but saw a good chunk of it- cool vid!! Great to see all the Garuds sporting Tavors.
Really wish these vids were in English, half of what is being said is completely lost on me. More informative and serious than Rocky and Mayur's attempt but not as well understood on my behalf and I really dislike the presenter.
Hindi or English the language don't matter, i rarely see Indian media having a report on defence of India (in any language for that matter ) + All Hindi presenters are same so can't help it
Appreciate NDTV's effort to letting the country's defence to somewhat come to mainstream

The last 3-4 minutes shows how the IAF cleans it planes..I guess some discussions were going in another thread where someone wanted to know is it done of which you were also a part.
Ruined the ending for me
LOL!!
Am I seeing things or do I spot a Ford F350 at 7.40 (along with the cargo loader)? We have already seen US "golf cart" like vehicles in service at Hindon, seems LM really went all out and IAF went for the entire support package, even down to these type of ground vehicles!
Ya i saw that too.
+ They should have removed the American flag from that machine.
C-130J's are brought for special operations, does that mean special operations in foreign countries also?? As Indian special operations in foreign land is a rarity like in Maldives & Sri Lanka way back in 1980s or is it that there are other special operations conducted by IAF about which people in India don't know???
From the water injection pump? Mybe it is on lease so the IAF is not in a position to do so.From what I am hearing the IAF is having the "bird bath" system installed at Hindon so maybe the injection pump was only leased temporarily as a stop-gap measure?
"Bird bath" system:
Special operations means special operations. If a mission comes up in the future where Indian SOFs are required to be airlifted, it will be done using these dedicated machines. Also I have heard the Super Hercs are also designated as the rapid interdiction flight of the IAF which provides airlift support to the 51st and 50th (INDEPENDENT) PARACHUTE BRIGADE which has regular PARA (airborne) but also PARA (SF) elemants and is the "QRF" of the IA and India. These guys will be the first military unit responding if ever India needs rapid intervention or somthing.
+ it is not the military that decides where they deploy to, it is their civilian leadership. These guys will go wherever and whenever they are ordered whether it is domestically or a foreign land. Notice the pilots where keen to emphasis the long legs of the hercs and their "inter-Continental range!"
Thats for Hindon only or other AFBs gonna have them too?
and the Pilot said one line which you might have missed coz of the language..He was saying that they train and wait for that particular one day when they will have to put all their effort to get a mission done..He wa referring to SOF Mission...The squadron patch is very apt IMHO.
