If one is going to replace the SIG with the X-95 you may as well replace the MP-5 with it too surely? What benefits does the P-90 have over the X-95? They are of similar size and weight.

The threat of enemies using BPJs in the future is exactly what prompted the NSG to introduce 1-2 operators with the SIG in every assault team post 26/11 (with the others sticking to the MP-5). Prior to 26/11 the NSG only used the SIG as a dedicated marksmen rifle and assault team members were not issued it.
Where did i said P90s are superior to 5.56x45 X-95?I said replace the current SIG551s which are issued to the assault squads with more better X-95s.Also is there a need for 5.56x45 DMR ie SIG550 as in the rest of world every one uses either PSG,M-14 etc.As we already have PSG/MSG-90 in that role what good a 5.56 DMR offers.
AFAIK even the SIG had discontinued the production of DMRs in 5.56 calibers.

All the SF units in professional armies would have gone quite extensive training physically , tactically and in weapons.. what i wish to know is for eample The famed SEAL traning with their : HELL Week" and all.

how would one compare a indian commando or SF training. i am only asking wrt the actual traning and selection leading to graduation. if we put in our Indian commando or SF into that SEAL programme , how would on we perform in tems of Endurance, Strength, mental toughness.

NSG Commandos should equipped with x 95 rifle , tar 21 , fn p90. Non lethal weapons like taser gun, pepper spray, flash bang grenade. Fn p90 will use full to defeat body amour. Who know what will happen Pakistan will send terrorist equipped with bullet proof jacket. During Punjab attack terrorist had armor-piercing round.

Marcos in terms of training, strength an mental toughness rate higher than regular SEALs, they are similar to DEVGRU that way. Para SF rate better the Green Berets, more like DELTA and Garuds are similar to the 24th STS. SG are similar to SAD

@Immanuel is this just Personal view or its after having a genuine insight & awarness about US traning standards...i just say this cause of the media raving how tough the seal or green berets are, but there are no publised reports or anecdotes seen on Indian SF. So i wanted to really see are these SEALs really made out to be like super tough ( super marketing?) or and Indian SF are equally tough.

maybe the memebers could sare instances where their SF have trained in indian conditions and start bitching how tough our courses are.

@Screambowl ..yes our physical size and build does really stand out, we do ot have that builk and physique which makes us seem less capable or feared

Now this is something difficult. You can't compare two different SF of two different armies in respect to their training regime. Each and every nation does have its own war and own scenarios along with own tactics to take care of. But yeah, one common thing which we could say that all armies does share is its versatility to operate in different environment. Here I think the IA's SFs does hold a slight edge over others on matter of endurance. I have seen troops from US taking part in training at CIJW. They do bitch a bit when they have to practice sans there protective gears (gloves, kneecap, elbowcap and all), whereas IA's instructor does perform all the tasks without these. But you cant blame the troops of bitching because the days of Vietnam had long gone for them. But again its only how they are trained. Indiand SFs does held edge in Jungle and Mountainous warfare, whereas USSFs does exceed well in urban warfare.

As far as MARCOS and GARUD are concerned, I don't think they have seen as much action as SEALs or STS. But it is in writing that, MARCOS training is far more tough then those of SEALs. But again only training doesn't proove your worthiness unless and untill you are deployed extensively in various war zones.

compared to other SF personals, these are are really slim. I think that's what the difference is. Agility and strength. Just like an Iron rod.
Training, training, training and tactics. This will be the ultimate benchmark of any SF unit. Physical prowess comes next to that. It is important as well.
Perhaps these are not veterans. In SF, the longer you stay, the bulkier you get. See VDV units for example. The veterans are really hulks. The fresh ones are fit but not so bulky.

No lesser than the rest. Perhaps only Russians train harder and tougher than we do, emphasis on perhaps.
