Never knew the Sub-machine Gun is longer than the Rifle...

BSF perhaps should use just X-95..

Guys here's an interesting pic:

Airforce Commando on vigil - Aero India 2013: Bangalore gears up for South Asia's biggest airshow | The Economic Times

Taken at Yelahanka AFB during A1 2013. Is identified as IAF Garud.


Interestingly he is wearing MARPAT digicam (which no IAF Garud other was seen wearing throughout the entire AI show). I wonder if he is really a Garud but if not who then? The only other unit we know that uses this camo in India is the CRPF's CoBRAs and I don't see why they'd be anywhere near Aero India.
@Kunal Biswas any ideas?

COBRA were present at Aero India 2013?

That's a leopard as Cheetah is already extinct in India.

i have a same opinion, kill it if it is going to harm you, but didnt like it keeping in Pic as trophy ....
every year lots of Cobra snakes are killed to show to trainee special Commandos how to defend them selves in wild...

Yes, that pic is from Aero-India 2013 only..

Offtopic, but has the mandate of Garuds been increased to include BDA and the likes in support of air strikes by the IAF? Or is this role still with the IA paras/ IN MARCOS. The gulf war showed the necessity of having men around the target of airstrike to provide accurate designation as well as to confirm objective accomplishment, particularly when clouds and smoke may block reconnaisance by UAVs.

Target desingation is one of the Garud's main tasks.

Garuds with target designation terminal:

Watch this to see all the mission the Garuds are tasked with:

@Kunal Biswas this has been misidentified (probably by FB). These are NOT NSG.


They are Punjab police:

why are nsg's bulletproof jacket so thin?it looks like a sweater with a lot of pockets. they are supposed to engage in close combat.i wonder what level of ballistic protection it provides.

 

[abingdonboy]

 

[Kunal Biswas]

It is because he is not wearing any plate inside, both plate together weight around 15kgs..

Which according to me is not right for his safety but again plates issued are too heavy same as in RR..
