did they kill Cheetah for this Pic....!!!!!!!

Amused to see this pic here - that panther was shot by one of the marine commando snipers at Karanja- it was regularly visiting the base and giving the folks there anxious moments so the intrepid boys from INS Abhimanyu decided to do something about it - the fallout of the whole matter was that Ms Maneka Gandhi who was Minister for Environment at the time came to know of it and came down like a ton of bricks on the Navy !

Two New Army Units for Deployment Near China Border
New Delhi | Apr 24, 2013

Against the backdrop of China strengthening its capability to airlift soldiers, India is planning to raise around 1,500 more airborne troops for deployment in the northeast along the China border.

Under the 12th Defence Plan, India is planning to raise two new battalions of the airborne troops with around 1,500 personnel under the elite Parachute Regiment of the Army, Defence Ministry sources told PTI here.

The new raisings would be apparently used to check any move by any adversary to airdrop their troops within Indian territory and capture that area, they said.

The new units would also be used for the conventional roles in counter terrorism and counter insurgency operations in that area and would also be capable of being dropped behind enemy lines in case of any future war, they said.

Recently, the Army raised the 11 Para (SF) that is being deployed under the Tezpur-based 4 Corps and 3 Corps in Dimapur which are two of the Army's main formations looking after the border with China in the northeast.

The Parachute Regiment has 10 units under it of which eight are Special Forces units while the rest are Para Commando units with capability of launching airborne operations.

Seven among them have already been trained and classified as Special Forces, which are supposed to carry out counter- insurgency operations during peacetime and sabotage enemy installations beyond enemy lines during wars.

They are deployed in different sectors of the country and have also been given the responsibility to handle 26/11 type attacks near their area of deployment.

China in the recent past has significantly enhanced its capability to launch airborne operations and according to some reports, can air lift more than 3,500 soldiers for operational deployment in one go.

Its noty actually SSB but SSF which is a SF.SSB is just a paramilitary just like crpf often accussed of helping the cross border smuggling and crossing of wanted criminals along indo nepal border.

I believe you are referring to the SFF, and not the SSF. But in any case, RAW also operates a clandestine combat/assasination unit, the SG. They've usually been put in charge of foreign groups (mercenary/friendly) to conduct missions in hostile nations as operators. They rarely act ac actual combatants.
