It has to do nothing special with RAW . It is just like any other forces of our country .
that's incorrect.
Each and every weapon from FN Herstal.!!
Special Group - Then and Now (well still 10 odd years old)
Because of being under the R&AW, the SG is never coming under the MOD, R&AW would never let that happen, the force is a very important arm of the agency. Though the SG does operate in AFSPA areas like Kashmir where the IA has more of a jurisdiction, but being under the Cabinet Secretariat gives them a lot of powers.
There is a common misconception that Special Group is recruited from the SFF where Tibetans are largely present. BUT this is total BS, SG may officially come under SFF but it is NOT a part of SFF it is simply a means of keeping them under wraps and their duties very Unknown. SG draw ENTIRELY from Indian SF, not from SFF cadre at all and mostly are from PARA (SF).
SFF and SG are not one and the same brother.
These are EOD techs, it makes sense for the MARCOs EOD along with the "regular" IN EOD techs to have operated with the USN EOD techs.
These pics are almost a decade old and its a misconception brother, Special group is like kids of rich father in India, due to the openness of the world weapon market they have access to almost anything they want to shoot and sometimes their gears are deliver overnight + i have serious doubt of foreign investment in establishment 22 hence we can conclude that they are operating with descent gears..

So , do soilders of SG also works like a RAW agent ?With regard of my conversation with a Captain rank officer of 9 para sf (this particular unit is involved in various operations in a suspicious way) i came to know some interesting things not only about mavericks but about paras too.. penning down them below..
R&AW dont always go with mavericks, it has some local groups too.
Sometime para sf also work with R&AW, i hope you all can assume why because muzzafrabad ki jalebi is delicious
Mavericks sometimes disguised as normal infantry, and the next guy didn't know that he is operating with a ghost and they are expert in showing the ambush as a accident
No. RAW has their own Intel assets, SG is made up of soldiers, they are "shooters" but naturally have a very wide skill set.
I seriously doubt the part about SG being disguised as regular infantry and others in the unit not knowing this. Infantry units are incredibly close knit entities that train and live together for years before they are deployed to a combat zone. You couldn't just have an outsider inserted into them overnight and the rest of the unit being oblivious, that isn't how these things work and it also wouldn't have any utility whatsoever and wouldn't aid operational success. Under the established chain of command if an infantry unit is required to set up an ambush they only need to be ordered to do so, they don't need to be made of why they are doing so.With regard of my conversation with a Captain rank officer of 9 para sf (this particular unit is involved in various operations in a suspicious way) i came to know some interesting things not only about mavericks but about paras too.. penning down them below..
