Our SF have a huge stock of old US made firearms acquired through unorthodox routes. CAR-15s, Colt Commandos. Only recently, have we sourced M4A1 SOPMOD directly from the Muricans. The vagaries of int'l geopolitics..

Good Info !!!...specially happy to know that our SF has "M4A1 SOPMOD" rifles...perhaps the gold standard carbine for SF's of US and NATO alliance countries..The "M4A1 SOPMOD BLOCK II" is the latest....the second picture in the link below gives a complete overview of this KickAss Piece of Kit !

https://www.ar15.com/forums/AR-15/M4A1-SOPMOD-Block-II-clone-picture-thread/118-541606/?page=1

But i consider the "SIG MCX VIRTUS" to be the most advanced and versatile AR-15 rifle variant today...way better and ahead of even HK 416 ......It has been inducted by lots of top notch US and European agencies..

A single rifle platform like this (with interchangeable 5.56x45 and .300 BlackOut barrels) ....can fulfill requirements of 3 platforms of our army ( 5.56 Carbine, 7.62x39 rifle and 9mm Sub gun).....

NSG Commando ..........

Finally we are seeing NSG too with modified AKs .What's the new found love for modified AKs among all SF units, who had settled down for more accurate 5.56 weapons earlier ?
Btw the upgrades on this particular one doesn't seem to of neither Fab nor OFB.Red dot ,Magazine ,foregrip,P and Quad rails all seems different from those in use by Para and Garuds.

Major Mohit — pride of Special Forces

Illustration: Sandeep Joshi


Col Dilbag Dabas (Retd)
“When the going gets tough, the tough gets going” — A commando believes.

Mohit was born at Rohtak on January 13, 1978. He was brought up at Ghaziabad where his father RP Sharma, a banker, was then posted. An alumnus of Delhi Public School, Mohit went on to join the National Defence Academy and was commissioned into 5 Madras Regiment in December 1999. He possessed all the attributes of a commando and was born to be one. During his tenure with 38 Rashtriya Rifles, (RR), Mohit was a live wire and his daredevilry during the tenure did not go unnoticed. The Para (Special Forces), always on the look-out for men of steel, found one.

Mohit, good, fast and fearless learner that he was, soon excelled in the art of fighting militants. He as a member of the elite 1st PARA (SF) was awarded the Chief of Army Staff Commendation Card during ‘Operation Rakshak’ in the Kashmir valley in 2005, followed by the Sena Medal for gallantry the same year. Both recognitions were well deserved, but destiny had a bigger, rather the biggest recognition in store for him. And his last encounter with the militants, the fiercest in his glorious military career, was witness to the extent Indian Army Commandos go for the safety and security of the motherland. On March 21, 2009, Major Mohit Sharma, SM, proved that 1st PARA (SF) did not falter in taking him in its fraternity, whose members are men of steel and for them the country comes first always and every time. One of the cardinal attributes of these men is ‘leave no comrade behind, dead or alive, even at the cost of your life’. And Major Mohit adhered to this resolve in letter and in spirit. The summary of his encounter with the militants in the terror-infested Kashmir valley amply shows what a man of sublime character this Special Forces Commando was.

The nation salutes late Major Mohit Sharma, AC.

(The writer is a veteran Gunner, 6 Field Regiment)

The summary of gallant action in War Diary of 38 Rashtriya Rifles reads...

On 21 March, 2009, Major Mohit Sharma was leading the Bravo Assault Team in counter insurgency ops in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir. He was informed about the presence of some infiltrating terrorists in the dense Haphruda forest. He planned and led his commandos in tracking the militants. On observing suspicious movements, he alerted his scouts but the terrorists started firing indiscriminately from three different directions. In the heavy exchange of fire, four commandos were critically wounded. With complete disregard for his safety, he crawled and brought back two commandos to safety. He then threw grenades and killed two terrorists but he too was shot in the chest. In the brief respite that followed, he kept directing his commandos. Sensing further danger to his comrades, he charged in a daring close quarter combat, killing two more terrorists. This was a 'daring act of valour' in which he again rescued two of his comrades and killed four terrorists. But during the fierce encounter, he made the supreme sacrifice for which he was awarded the Ashok Chakra posthumously. The award was received by his wife Major Reshma Sharma from Pratibha Patil, the President of India, on 15 August, 2009.

Micro RONI Pistol Carbine Conversion Kit

Is such a conversion kit of practical advantage for Special Forces and LE agencies as there are already SMGs for giving much accurate fire ,where as pistols are for secondary purpose and by conversion the concealability of pistol gets compromised as it can't be put in holster to be used in emergency sutuations.
It could be of advantage for civilian shooters participating in competition shooting ,but practical advantage viewed from SF point of view is sceptical.
Anyway that's only my views as I didn't see much use of this among law enforcement agencies .

What is the composition of 31 RR(cdo)? What is the need of sending elite airborne and SF troopers to RR where as they are operating independently in J&K.Itd just depleting the manpower of SF and airborne.Creation of it is justified only If it is composed of Para TA units and other allied para qualified supprt units only.
