    eg CO 3 VIKAS here, if I rem correctly (been a long time with too many instances since for me), is ex-SG but was in CI/CT posture along LC in 2012 ..... AOR 109 Inf Bde "Snow Leopard"

    Not very sure he gave you the correct information ..... beware of those who "know" and openly share information. Please take it with a bucket of salt. Yet to come across someone who will give you the correct information on SG's non CI/CT role. (latter being the more prominent and public roles...

    Such a clean rivulet ..... crawling in the "Yamuna Tributaries" of Agra is .... so antiseptic an experience .......even the bacteria and virus couldn't survive in those waters ...😏

    SG is not a static unit. There is roster maintained, with names added and deleted over the period of time, depending on the profile. The dirty ops are carried by the XXX Assault Team, which is away from the public glare. They have the best and latest of equipment (read someone doubting it) ...

    Shorts and T-shirts are games/working party dress, when notified, in summers ....😏 In places like Binagurhi, Panagarh etc, where the humidity is very high, these are suitable for use. Commanders have flexibility of uniforms as notified by respective Station Commander and of course in consonance...

    Can you post videos/photos of Quads in use during the said raid? And what makes you think (with certainty) US has more special ops experience? Any study of data?

    Gunship pilots?? That is why "not likely". Not a "no".

    Not likely. Why would you want to carry additional weight (yes, weight increases with increase in the numbers) over your head while executing an op, weight that is invariably skewed & tends to strain neck muscles over period of time? While Bino may give a better "feel" for "depth", and be...

    Like had said earlier for a different comment - when western nations do something and let on about it, they are doing PR and all are appreciating it. But when certain things reportedly done by us is let out - exaggeration/dreaming, "fenk raha hai" etc come forth. People would do well to really...

    No two views. Built up area - suppressor definitely makes sense.

    So, if US makes a video, an SF operator claims to be carrying 70 Kgs in Iraqi desert - they are doing PR. But when, the poor Indian says that we are trained to count rounds (because every additional round that you carry in high altitude mountainous terrain in CI/CT ops, has a weight which you...

    Is that so? Please do share the videos you have of the same. I am curious. It is so enlightening to find that while the stress on crawling upto your target is to ensure both stealth as also an overall reduction in target size that you present for the enemy, there are "modern special operations...

    Not accountability. But not getting 'caught' changing a mag with the opponent outflanking me. Allowed me to know exactly when I needed to change the mag.

    Yet 13 magazines were carried :) Med Kits? With the designated BFNA. That is very true. But when is ear protection of use? At the firing ranges, right? I would not want to be caught having a nice set of "ear protection" in operations True And why should one definitely have gloves? Do you...

    I usually carried my spare magazines in my fatigue pockets :( And had a strict fire discipline ... 2 round or as the westerners call it "double tap" ... only. Allowed to count your round expenditure

    Personally, suppressors are way too loud - in an environ as along LC (where, due to lack of major population centres and relatively zero ambient sounds, one can hear someone ways off). We didn't even use our venerable SAF 2A1 ... you could do things much better with much lesser noise than using...
