What does this mean?

That this man is certified to be able to swim underwater to an enemy warship underway and by sheer force of muscle stop the propeller of the ship (or submarine). Its a very elite course taught in Israel. They are taught to hug the propeller and make the legs into a Y shape to increase drag and stop the propeller spin.

JK.
It means he is mechanical engineer certified for engine room. Don't know exact designation though. Exact designation is Engine Room Artificer

Helmet must be HCBH could be because of the pic quality that way, and many of the ex Officer i have seen interview most of them love AKs.

EDIT: Its ACH, but are we sure they are Marcos not BSF Crocodile unit or even normal Infantry cause they can be seen on the boat? or any of the others participating

See the group photo , there are naval officers there

 

[SGOperative]

Not ACHs
These are definitely the old PASGT helmets

i dont think so they look similar to what the new ACH looked like in Kashmir, cause Marcos used Viper P2 before IA HCBH AFAIK

Marcos is there, there is a video of divers in the original post

Trust me.
I can spot a PASGT from a mile away
Those are PASGT helmets in the picture Aditya posted

If you are saying then they should but i dont see the NVD mount on it?

 

[Tactical Doge]

Because that is how the PASGT looks like
No NVG mounts, no side rails, just a chin clamp for an accessory
Marcos have been using this for long

Standard PASGT doesn’t have an NVD mount.

Did they just pick up their old kits from the armory and went to the exercise or wot -_-

Useful for insertions if developed further? Could be great for terrain masking/nap of earth flying? Probably.

Does para sf (9 specifically) only know how to ambush or counter-ambush because of all the interviews I have seen, all of them just talk about ambushing or blowing up shit with grenades and stuff, I have never heard of CQB, and don't fly bullshit like they don't talk about that ultra pro max secret stuff but can talk about ambushes?

Anyone knows how the Tonbo sight with the operator in the front is mounted? Does not seem to be helmet mounted

9 Para was involved in the Pompore Standoff in 2016 and was used, AFAIK Capt. Tushar Mahajan was KIA in that. It was basically a CQB

PARA SF definitely do CQB/room intervention operations. Many ops in the valley which requires PARA SF intervention is usually a complex room intervention or hostage situation. Eg pampore.

Some pics of PARA SF practicing CQB

I am aware but this is one of the very few CQB that our SF did, other special forces nowadays specialize in CQB raids, while we rarely do them, other SF raids the warehouses but ours just blow the shit out of the warehouse until terrorists come out and start running, these kinds of ambush/raids are not reliable as mf might escape, I am not an expert bout our SF but all interviews I saw, they were either ambushing or blowing until terrorist run.

They do it but very rarely, I am not talking about interventions where hostages might be involved where paras are called in, I am talking about the ops they do near or behind enemy line, I am just stating what I heard from int, they believe in blowing up shit more and they certainly dont do CQB raids on terrorist holdouts where no hostage or infantry units are involved they just blow them up, which is not bad but for SF, its weird and its different to do room clearing as drills and room clearing in ops, I dont wanna offend anyone, I am neither an expert on warfare nor an operative, just saying what my dumb mind is thinking and seeing.

 

[Automatic Kalashnikov]

Again, why use nvg in bright light even during drill?

The room they are entering may not have sufficient light

 

[Waanar]

Here is the plan guys, I will forget about rule 101 of not going in front of the door and hope no one shoots my ass through, and all 5 of you point your guns towards the same fucking direction and hope no one comes from behind and fuck our shit up!!! go go go

You're somehow able to derive wayy too much information off of pictures taken in a fleeting moment.

Paras don't seem to have the smoothness and expertise in CQB like some of the GWOT hardened SOFs for sure, but you're just being critical for the sake of it.

 

[Waanar]

please dont fuck with me if ur a fanboy or I said something stupid, again I am not an expert and want best for our SF guys.

If you make an uninformed comment, you will be informed on it.
That's the nature of discussions.

Doesn't mean anyone's "fucking" with you.

It's the exact opposite. If you have the opportunity, you always go for structural attacks. CQB isn't as cookie-cutter and simple as people and movies might have you believe. If the enemy knows you're coming, you're already at a disadvantage. If the enemy is trained, You're probably going to take a casualty if not a bunch. If they're well trained and appropriately fortified, you're never even making it into the building. I don't care if you're delta force.
When it comes to structural attacks you can simply cordon off egress points and rock their shot with explosives, thermostatically are excellent for such things.
