What a nice chin guard.

Strange thing about those Garuds is that they have all that stuff on but they dont seem to be wearing a bullet proof jacket !?

Also, aren't those NVGs gen 3 ? Looks kinda outdated considering whats available on the market. Also their scarves are nice.

India's defence minister makes you feel safely curled up in the foetal position?

The two times I was curled up in a foetal position was in a football match near the opponent's goal. I remember curling up as tight as I could and praying that no player steps or lands on me.

AKA reminds me of those moments.

Are BPJs always necessary for training? We do not know what they were training for. What if their training required climbing of steep slopes or mountain climbing simulation?

Also, aren't those NVGs gen 3 ? Looks kinda outdated considering whats available on the market. Also their scarves are nice.

The highest generation of NVGs available are of Gen 3. Also, how do they "look" outdated?

Shiv garu, I was just being facetious. The RM again looks bumbling anywhere near a weapon. After all he is an attorney (not my favorite profession for many reasons) and I think is a very poor RM ( which says a lot considering the men we have had in that post ).

Tejas and others who are making fun of the DM, maybe you can explain what a DM should look like standing next to a machine gun. How about you standing next to a machine gun and take photo and post it here so we can decide whether you make us all feel secure looking at your picture.

That would require all the soldiers in the picture to be left handed - wouldnt it? they are holding guns right handed and would have to be left handed if the pic is flipped. what are the chances of that?

Most of the guys are wearing their watches correctly i.e.. on their left wrists so i doubt if the pic was flipped

The discussion is about Garuds. Where did SPG come in?

Curious. I have yet to see a pic showing Garuds in body armor. Could you please post one for our benefit?
Thanks.

How's this for Similarities with IAF AND RAF??? One might just combine the two!!! They both have the same operating structure!

Of course they'll be similar... RIAF, which is now IAF, was after all a off shoot of RAF,... Is it astonishing that a child and its parents have a lot of commonality...

Thanks Akshut.

It does have the BAlidan shape. Dont know who the guy in front is but highly unorthodox/unauthorised way of wearing one. (unless its a patch printed on the t-shirt)

Hi Guys, checkout the Photographer's remark on this photo,

Linz Horsching - Austria
Remarks: The fourth out of six cargo-flights to India. FedEx carries about 420 horses and some donkeys to Delhi DEL (via Dubai DXB), using Mcdonnell Douglas MD-11F-long-haul-aircraft. The Indian military has ordered this big number of animals. Unfortunately, the weather has not been satisfying, when the first flights have taken place, but nevertheless, these old beauties even look great at rainy weather conditions.

Whats this ^ all about ?

I think it is sewn on to the t-shirt - have seen that once in some Para Cdo training pix. Interestingly the guy in front looks the same as one of the Para Cdos in the Chachro raid (part of Bhawani Singh's group) - iirc BR has that pic somewhere.

Another thing i observed is, him and the guy behind him are the only ones holding an MP5(?). Is it a training mission in the photograph?

seems like one of the lakes in Ladakh. Any guesses?

WOW!

Guess which part of the world you have to be in to fly at 20,000 feet and still have land above you?

You need to see this to see where the IAF and IA operate. I have seen so much "foreign-itis" in the past where it is claimed that everything the IA/IAF do are ordinary day to day stuff for all the big Air Forces of the world. This must be the social engineering that people keep talking about in the other forum

^^ That has to go down as one of the best pics of the Mirage 2000 I have seen.

Also the R73 armed MiG 21 during Op parakram looks ominous!

Shiv, I don't know whether you or other posters noted, there is a map next to the pics...in some cases, it shows the location where the snap was taken. Show, where the IAF was doing "Valley-Flying"...

Rohit that can occur only if the uploader chooses to say (honestly) where the picture was taken. Google earth itself has plenty of Chinese images in Arunachal Pradesh. Which is why I have been tasked with uploading of images of Mount Gopalankutty in China

Mention Ladakh and Waterbody in the same breath and the first thing that comes to mind is the Pangong Tso.

Jagan garu, thank you for that link. I had thought as well but hesitated as this would mean the Mirage-2000 boys flying bang along the LAC and that too a two ship formation. Quite interesting....

And how about this for a tagline - the day we kicked some yankee butt in gwalior ex cope india
