Indian Special Forces

na, I have heard it from enough guys that our boys are very lean, you'd rarely see someone with a decent build except for MARCOS and NSG, those guys need upper body strength for their sort of work and MARCOS toh have the swimmer's body too

Our boys are lean, but are not devoid of upper body strength, in fact pre-Agniveer the standard chin-ups requirement was 14 to even enter PRRC Bangalore. It is just that we focus too much on cardio, then our diet doesn't support muscle building, plus the culture in the units is not inclined towards weight training.

They were so freaking on track and up to global standards back then.

 

[IWIarad11]

They have proved their mettle in AFG. I wouldn't count them out.

Interesting. Any notable stories?

They have served for a long time and really successfully in AFG. They were stationed there right up until the withdrawl.

read about this incident , but i think it was a pretty mild incident .
Else akshay kumar would have made a movie on it .

Tbh, for operations in thick jungles (Like in J&K at night) you need thermal clip ons to your NODs like this one

It'll work wonders for us. We desperately need to add this to gain a very sharp edge instead of carrots. (I'm trying to manifest this into reality for our SF )

Yeah, a thermal clip on to the nod would be awesome. Along with thermal sights on the rifle. Lets see if we can see this with any Indian SFs.

Wouldn't call it mild.
The 2016 attack in Mazar-i-Sharif was thwarted thanks to the ITBP guards stationed in the premises. That attack led to a standoff between the assailants and AFG forces outside the building.

We won't for a long time

Marcos do have thermal clip on in some numbers
But NV thermal overlay would be better but our sf are going for vanila pvs 31 anyway

Para sf does have pvs14 bridge it together with spartan s (also in use with para in big numbers )that would be best set up
Considering jnk is mountain terrain with thick forest

And who do we send ? , fucking ITBP . Not even SRG .

We have some power but we suck ass in projecting power .......
OPTICS MATTER

ITBP is still a significantly better choice since most of our embassies and consulates actually hire local private contractors and I highly doubt these are Tier-I/II teams who might as well run away during crisis and we'd end up with another Benghazi

I'd rather have ITBP or even CRPF carve out a unit for such roles since the later is already creating a unit for VIP/VVIP protection to replace NSG

LOL if only I could explain the security situation at the embassies/consulates here in Germany. Apart from the one in Bonn (up until its closure) thanks to a certain Wing, the others are a joke! So yeah ITBP/CRPF would do a far better job.

I am not sure which type of thermal clipon you are referring to but afaik, Marcos have only rifle mounted thermal. What we were referring to is nod mounted thermal clipon. So, it is possible both Marcos and Para SF could if they want go for these which would give them NV overlay.

Bridging pvs14 with spartan is so doable without any major additional costs or red tape involved, I hope they know this can be used this way.
