Is the Indian airborne force a Soviet-style airborne force with BMD-1 and Mi-26H / Il-76MD?

Considering the IL-76s and MI-26s are being replaced by C-130Js/C-17s and CH-47Fs respectively and the IA will be inducting new ICVs in the coming years, i'd say that's a "no" on them being a "Soviet-style" airborne force!

PARA SF


These are not PARA-SF, rather RR
These photos except the top one are not recent ones ,they were taken during 2002/03.At that time gear of SF was similar to those of RR.And at that time VZ58s were not common among RR nor in these days too.Any way there are chances that these are RR but there is no link to validate either claim.

India should get more helicopters for Counter insurgency forces.
Rudra and ALH are great options and more mi-17's must be brought.
bring hell to all forces which have taken arms in india.
First counter internal threats then next!!
