Indian Special Forces

- On the right it seems to be a Atchisson AA 12 auto-shotgun with a 8-round box magazine (12ga). I'm not a 100% sure but far as I know, there are no real-world users of the AA12, military or law enforcement (could be wrong on the latter). I would sure love to hear the reasoning behind...

It was initially posted as Airborne, that is why I thought it was Airborne.

Guys what's the difference between ANA and ANSDF?

Also between their "Commando brigades" and "Special Forces brigades"? Have seen both these terms being used separately on SM frequently.

ANSDF is the term used for all Afghan security forces, ANA is its army component.
ANASOC is the special operations command of ANA with authorized 16,040 personnel, organized into four Special Operations Brigades (SOB) and a National Mission Brigade (NMB). The NMB differs from the SOBs in that it has a deployable mission command package, including the 6th Special Operations Kandak or Battalion (SOK), Ktah Khas (KKA), and two Special Forces Kandaks (each SFK has five AOBs with eight ANA Special Forces teams per AOB).

But all of these fall under the ANA Commando Corp.

The only time a SF operative in India is decked up like his (and her) western counterpart, is when there is:

1. A Demo for visiting dignitaries
2. A "meet the citizen event"

The only time they are properly attired in the standard Indian Army FSMO pattern is when:

1. There is a CO's interview
2. A Sainik Sammelan
3. Or they could not slip away from a function involving some top Govt Honcho like RM, PM, etc.

Else, even the GOCs didnt say a word to them if they came (unwillingly) to a party organized, in dirty jeans (a strict no for mess/sainik institutes) track pants, unshaved and smelling of sweat.

And for SG.... none of the above holds ...... they don't even know who the other members of another team are, unless told specifically. They remain "paired up" and roam embedded - always. Rumor of them being at 7 RCR can neither be confirmed, nor be denied.

Just a side note.

SG wala thoda jyaada ho gaya, that's not the case.

Kind of moot now. None of this exist anymore

NSG from Mumbai and Kolkata have way better equipment.

26 SCG(Mumbai) is quite a bit ahead of the rest of the hubs certainly but there also seems to be a lack of scale across NSG, some units have some very Gucci gear but others remain with the standard 2010 stuff.

They seem heavily laden with gears, but looks rag tag nonetheless. Pathetic condition of uniformity. They are at least 15-20 years backwards as compared to their western counterparts in terms of equipment.
On a different note, can anybody provide some insight into the night fighting capability of the Indian sf ??Thanks in advance.

You might want to see what Western SF were like in the 90s.

They are easily 30+ Years behind
