I think tonbo also beefed their quads up for field use.That's because it's mounted on the helmet
It appears bigger because it's closer to the camera as compared to his head

The difference is slight, but it's still there....

The Rawalpindi Freefallers
This is a tidbit of no significance.
Somewhere in mid-2000s, it is rumored that two Generals of Indian Army, decided to have a private bet over the capabilities of the Special Forces. What transpired, remains probably one of the most closely guarded secrets of the Indian Army, something which exists only in myths and within the tightly knit community of Indian Army, with a few selective individuals. This operation officially never existed and has, officially, never been undertaken/acknowledged and probably will be denied as a figment of imagination.
Subsequent to the bet, a team was detailed from one of the PARA (SF) units (name withheld for obvious reasons) comprising of those who were qualified in Combat Freefall.
Cheekily, the operation was soon put in motion as a routine training mission, but the scope and intent of the same, impressed the powers that be, and it was decided to go ahead with it. "Training" exercise it was to be.
A platform from IAF was requisitioned. Even the IAF was on board quickly seeing the audacity and boldness of the plan. The team practiced it's deployments and planned for what was to happen next. The IAF identified it's ingress routes to the target points and created a diversion and planned for the imminent ingress.
At the last minute, it was decided to deploy the team for training - over the skies of Rawalpindi.
Needless to say, the IAF platform penetrated the Pakistani Airspace briefly, the team was deployed in a HAHO mode and the aircraft egressed before the PAF could detect the intrusion. The team was given general area Rawalpindi to land and assemble in.
The team not only landed successfully, but over the next 5 weeks, successfully evaded detection and capture and egressed.
Further details are neither known, nor required to be known.
But ever since then, the 'Rawalpindi Freefallers' were legends for those who know of them ...

Nah. IAF is pretty good at lot of stuff ..... at times they can be really frustrating too.Interesting..I was a believer until the point IAF came in.
And ... what kind of approvals do you get for mounting a SHBO for team insertion crossing into PoJ&K? Or launching a BAT action? Or doing a sonic boom along Lunda Ridge with Jaguars .... at the site of the "mini-Kargil" back in 2002? Am curious to get your insightsTaking an airplane in the air is not like taking a Honda out of your garage.
Requires lots of approvals and planning.
Seems like it came from someone who doesn't understand flying operations in IAF at all and wants to fool others.
OkayThe other day my friend was telling me about the lack of assets for para drop in Agra and now i am reading joke joke mein Rawalpindi that too for a bet.
Unbelievable!
Yep, no way in hell they pulled this off. Just like that, on short notice, they just planned a freefall insertion deep into enemy territory in an area that happens to house the Pakistani Army HQ. Also, just like that, they happened to have an extraction plan to get them out of Rawalpindi. If this freefalling into the Pakistan side of Kashmir or Gilgit-Baltistan then I'd believe it, but deep in Pakistani territory where they can deploy the entire strength of the Pakistani military and intelligence apparatus? No way.
Sounds as fictitious as the whole"super commandos" op in 2013, where it was claimed that SF/SG commandos were undercover in Karachi to take Dawood out and the op was called off at the last minute when the commandos were already in position.

The ones that require a FIC and ADC number and require you to not even touch 10 nms of the IB.And ... what kind of approvals do you get for mounting a SHBO for team insertion crossing into PoJ&K?

Possible.But hey, the poor guy jumped in the "exercise" and was a "maroon" (and is a licensed pilot too).
Okay
The less i talk about IAF the better.Nah. IAF is pretty good at lot of stuff ..... at times they can be really frustrating too.
At many places no fighting took place people are just accepting taliban but soon you will see resistance and after that we will talk about SSGFIDE of SSG at full display here. Our western border is going to heat up once Afghanistan falls.
