This exercise has everything except Paras!!
here is para commando at the left




and here is their Insignia and maroon beret to identify them.


they would have done para drop or heli drop early in the exercise that is why they are not shown doing it again.

Post 128. I think the last pict is not from this exercise.

Kunal, by paras i meant something like garuds would do in IAF exercise. Sort of rescuing or ambushing enemy troops.

Pinaka would be in the same class of the Russian BM-27 Uragan which fires 220mm round





10th Para aka Scorpene (dedicated 2 desert region KUtch/Rajastan ), They are part of any major exercise in Thar every-time..
@ Kunal I had read sometime back that army decided to roll back on the specialisation of such units that is Para should be able to fight everywhere not specialise on geographic characteristics,please confirm

Yes, you are very much correct..

Para SF are trained to fight unconventional wars and conventional on any dimensions..

The last Pic from other exercise from thar of 10th para sf involvement the pic is a reference to above pics....

Garuda are specific to IAF reqirments ( Sabot-hash of Enemy Air-defense, Enemy Airfields near LOC, Enemy communications, Also protection / Guarding own Airfields and Radar stations )

Para are specific to Army needs ( Destroying enemy infrastructural behind enemy lines, Occupying strategic locations, Fast reaction in both offence and defense )

with new explosive we can get about double the area of 1000m X 800 M, which means by same rocket double the impact but it will be costly.
