What are the names of the guns and scopes here ? Looks like an AK but it has a long barrel.

FAB defence modified Romanian MD 63 AK.

Aimpoint RDS / EO Tech Holographic sights.

This is probably from 2017-18 since Aimpoint RDS have been shunted over to the M4A1 carbines and EO Tech Holographic sights have been passed over for Raptor Reflex sights and BEL Holographic sights on FAB defence modified AKs.

Since when has SF moved towards BEL Holographic sight and Raptor Red Dot sight? If you said RR or Ghataks then yes they’re becoming more prevalent. Nothing has been replaced, they’re just being complimented by these 2 sights.

Yeah a document which was made in 2017 and filmed in 2017 which doesn't involved soldiers who actually took part and presented a fabricated story made for media consumption only
It's called Propoganda.

Is it only me, or MARCOS is doing alot of Foreign Internal Defense deployments this time. They seem to be interested in the geopolitical scenario of the Indian Ocean Region. Which they should. Can someone tell me what plate carriers do they use.
At present they’re buying more and more of the Armasen Tactical SF RIG in both Square Cut and Shooters Cut Configurations. They’ve been seen in black colour and recently Khaki. They also use some other Plate Carriers earlier which were bulky, but it’s debatable from whom they’ve been purchased. As well as some light and compact ones that look like they’ve been made by the unit tailor

Occasionally even Tactical Vestswith plate inserts like IA.

And some other unidentified one’s not seen that often.

Para SF started using Raptor Reflex sights with everything sometime around 2018.

BEL Holographic sights are now complementary with Sig 716i and AKs.

Show me one picture of a Raptor sight on an M4 or Tavor with Picatinny rails of Para SF. Very rarely it’s seen with AKs with PARA SF. Just 3-4 instances.
PARA SF does not use the BEL Holographic Sight with AKs or SIGs, Ghataks, RR, Regular Infantrymen do so.

I never mentioned Para SF putting a Raptor Reflex sight on an M4.

You are much more likely to find EOTECHs, Aimpoints, Falke LE sights, Zeiss RSA on FAB Mod AKs of PARA SF than the ADTL/ITL Raptor sights, they were purchased very long ago and tested to possibly become the standard sight of the Indian army, but nothing moved on that front.

MARCOS in Madagascar with Armasen Tactical’s SF RIG in Khaki Colour in Shooters Cut Configuration and TASL High Cut Ballistic Helmet. As well as X-95 in FDE with Mepro MOR mounted on them.
They really need battle belts considering how much harness work they do-They wouldn’t have to use those high visibility external harnesses with battle belts plus they’d have sidearms even without their PCs on.

The IN is more expeditionary by nature and seems to take MARCOs with them on many of their goodwill visits abroad
