We’ve seen them with the SCAR before, it’s part of the small batches they have of exciting firearms for familiarisation. There’s no indication they are issued for actual operations.

the tan obviously shows it’s not for frontline use.

Probably sf will be called. But which sf will be called any guesses?

The only SF that northern command thinks exists

He is probably just posing with the rifle, if you look closely you can see the mags in his plate carrier are sig mpx magazines.

NSG started testing the scar along with submachine guns in around 2018s from that batch sig mpx have become pretty common but other SMG vector has been shown in only one photo.but scar h and l are more seen.but most of the sig 550 series where bought after 26/11 and before that they were not that common.

I read one tweet that the captured person is released btw not confirmed. I think they would have always gone for para sf.

Not testing, they have pretty much every small arm made in the last 20 years in limited quantities to give their operators familiarity, I guess in case they ever encounter them in an operation.

This is a practice I assume they picked up from GSG9, it's also done by tier 1 units in the US.

If para sf and marcos also pick up that practice.even state police STFs have more variety

Attack dogs being used at 2:45.

The capabilities NSG have built up with their MWD/K9s is truly praise worthy- they are now using Malonois with remote recall and video feed capabilities and for the first time in this demo I saw them moving with the K9 off lead- that is the kind of capability the top Western units built up with their MWD in the last 2 decades, NSG's K9 program is something they've continually worked on and it's clearly paying off, kudos to them. I didn't think India would have the K9/MWD expertise anywhere in the nation to build up to this level.


+ All 3 (military) SFs should tap into this program at NSG and use it to source/build up their own MWD/K9s, I think so far only PARA (SF) has been seen with a MWD/K9 and that too only very rarely.

NSG 37th raising day

I wonder if operational tempo of NSG is high again because this was a much scaled down raising day as compared to other years, one demo with one HIT and some dogs, nothing like the multiple demos they usually put on.

Reminds me a few years ago they cancelled their raising day celebration because they were too operationally committed, things might be hectic behind the scenes.


+ Hope this is the model/standard NSG are moving to- every man gets NODs, not just point man.

Nods without Lazer aiming devices is a little sketchy.

The flashlights they have have in-built visible lasers, I wonder if they have IR lasers too. But agreed, NSG are quite behind in this area.

Mono nods, one eye can be used for aiming i guess

I was wondering if they brought some weapons along.

NSG has a few guys armed to protect any of their public activities (R-Day, marathons, rallies), they rightfully see themselves as a target for terrorists.

The Badge on the top looks like US Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal Badge. It’s the Base Version of the Badge.
