I saw somewhere that the dogs of CAPFs are trained at the army facility. Will have to cross check.They are two different things. Most MWD/K9 in india are generally sole purpose- attack or sniffer/scent. And the vast majority of these are scent dogs hence why most of the dogs you’d see with security agencies in india were labradors (some times spaniels).
it’s only in very recent times that assault dogs have become widely adopted by Indian agencies (post 26/11 really). This started out with NSG but seems to be more commonplace now across services.
multi purpose dogs (scent and assault) are VERY specialised and require huge amounts of training and selection, most of the Tier 1 units in the US have MWD that are multipurpose. And a lot of these are imported in single digit units annually by specialist trainers from Europe.
In india I think only NSG has this capability with their Belgian Malonois that are attached to their assault units, maybe the CRPF’s Belgians have that too for fighting in LWE areas. i believe NSG and maybe CRPF also have their own breeding programs (maybe ITBP also) after initially procuring these breeds from Europe
afaik the dogs in the IA are only single purpose so the Belgians seen with PARA SF won’t be multipurpose but assault only- definitely the case with RR.
+ iirc the IA had stopped using assault dogs for a while a few years ago after some experiences with German shepherd assault dogs that they had poorly trained so they’d bitten soldiers. I guess they’ve redrawn their approach and seem to have switched to Belgians for this role, not sure if they are sourcing those dogs from NSG or abroad.
Congratulations boys, we have downgraded from Mono tubes to NVG 7s.
What sf is that and what are those helmets?
i think its ghatak and not para sf , helmet is mukut(it looks like ach but its really when a pasgt had a baby with ach)What sf is that and what are those helmets?
I doubt that it's ghatak. Ghataks don't have Tavors this abundantly.i think its ghatak and not para sf , helmet is mukut(it looks like ach but its really when a pasgt had a baby with ach)
Maybe AirborneI doubt that it's ghatak. Ghataks don't have Tavors this abundantly.
If they are sf I think they shouldn't have those helmets Indian companies make ballastic helmets too nowdays right?i think its ghatak and not para sf , helmet is mukut(it looks like ach but its really when a pasgt had a baby with ach)
well mukut is indian if that's what you meant by your questionsIf they are sf I think they shouldn't have those helmets Indian companies make ballastic helmets too nowdays right?
That is made by MKU. Which is an Indian company.If they are sf I think they shouldn't have those helmets Indian companies make ballastic helmets too nowdays right?
Oh I know I was just saying if they are sf shouldn't they have ballastic or bump helmets?well mukut is indian if that's what you meant by your questions
The MKU Mukut is a Level 3A ballistic helmet.Oh I know I was just saying if they are sf shouldn't they have ballastic or bump helmets?
That's good than so just looks ugly to meThe MKU Mukut is a Level 3A ballistic helmet.
What is airborne? They changed their name now so all are elite operators overnightMaybe Airborne
Taliban SF make better PR than this
ballistics are likely better but bumps have their uses tooOh I know I was just saying if they are sf shouldn't they have ballastic or bump helmets?
I will have to ask.Will get back to you.SPG ,SG and SFF k9 based capabilities . Its development . You're one of the members with a huge pile of intel , so if you could shed some light
Last year we had 2 Vajra Prahar JCETs, one at Bakloh and the other at JBLM, but there were only 2 pics in open source.Any pics from the ongoing Vajra Prahar exercise?
No official pics and info means that these would have been an evolution over FID of the past. Maybe some longer term training and interoperabilityLast year we had 2 Vajra Prahar JCETs, one at Bakloh and the other at JBLM, but there were only 2 pics in open source.
