Look at the recoil.
This isn’t a big deal at all

1) soldiers will almost never use the full auto mode in combat (hence why the IA spec’d the INSAS to only have burst and single shot modes) especially as they only have 20 round magazines
2) his shooting stance is TERRIBLE so if it’s recognised as an issue they’ll have to train better recoil handling techniques

Look at any of the recent videos floating around the last few days of IA troops at the LOC firing their 716s in single shot- recoil is perfectly manageable and a non-factor. And what does IA teach its soldiers? One shot, one kill.

Shouldn’t these duties be the job of VBSS teams? You don’t see the US Navy sending SEALs onboard everyday for VBSS.
In case of a Hostage rescue it will be a seal team. Depending on difficulty DevGru will be deputed ( the captain Phillips episode had both FBI HRT negotiators working with DevGru and the Marine Security element on call)

VBSS is very much a Naval SOF tasking

Difference is that the seals/DevGru would also do the 'practice" for primarily night / low light operations

There are no "commandos" defending embassies.ITBP does it.it just bakri 🐐🐐 news of pork media
@rkhanna @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR @abingdonboy

I've always wondered this...are they really ITBP personnel guarding the diplomatic buildings? Or just a cover for SG guys?

What expertise does ITBP have in diplomatic security? It's not even their mission (far as I know anyway) and the country in question is not even near the India-Tibet border which is their mandate.
