1.04 M4 with fore grip and holographic sights, first time I think this weapon has been seen in service with Indian SF I think.

Indian SF seem to be modernising at a rapid pace- GREAT NEWS!

Why I there all this doubt of a HMDS on IAF MIG-29UPG in all press releases it has been mentioned it will be a Thales TOPSIGHT same as IN K's. The basis of armament control system of the upgraded MiG-29UPG is a new "Zhuk-M2E with slot array design and production corporation Phazotron-NIIR and o...

MiG-29UPG in IAF colours and what looks like a lighter shade of gray than the earlier Tipnis gray scheme http://russianplanes.net/images/to51000/050070.jpg Is it just me or does it look as if TOPSIGHT hasn't been integrated yet? And if this has been delivered to IAF then why hasn't it got it? Surel...

Some more Photos of IN Sea Kings & Chetak onboard INS Jalashwa @ Malta From looking at these pics (^^^) Is it just me or are radars mounted on the noses recent editions (they look new as well)? As I believe I have seen previous pics of IN UH-3s (note referring to Augsta Westland Sea Kings inser...

Just because the C-17 is American and more expensive than, now, outdated USSR junk doesn't mean that India is now lost out. The C-17 is an awesome platform that fulfils the IAF's "super heavy-lift" requirement. It can take larger loads further and land on a penny. It offers unique capabili...

I wish Indian media would do somthing similar on Indian armed forces.

Chetakji, I thought that the IAF birds and ARC birds were completely different and geared for different kind of missions.. Bala Vignesh ji, Most times the markings are just painted out for the big birds used for "other" work (excluding the old Boeings). :) The others also have specialized...

Ugh.. this is terrible... an NSG Commando injured in 26/11.. the government doesnt even want to pay for his treatment which he will require for the rest of his life. Yet there is money for 2G, 3G, CWG and godknowswhatelseji... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7ABLJ-iyYdg/TiebqwBvJAI/AAAAAAAAquI/Np2rT8fsjw...

most of us indians have grown up on the image of SWAT teams in movies, for lack of any domestic content until recent years. so all that "tactical gear" like shoulder mikes, BPJ, knee and elbow pads, maglite torch below barrel, snipers on some roof, baseball cap worn ulta, cool shades and ...

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/920/q19e.jpg I think they are IA Para SF (Tavors, I know MARCOs have them but think this is IA). They look really professional- tactical stances and weapon discipline. And utilising Dhruv for this kind of mission ( hostage rescue) is a perfect fit! + is it just me...

Does anyone know if selected will either plane come with a HMDS as STANDARD, right from day one in IAF service? As I don't know if it was part ofmthe initial RFI critera or a later contractual obligation. Also as far as I know the EFT has offered this to IAF: Eurofighter offers 'Star Wars' helmet to...

Thanks for the watch, are these IA SF or J&K SOG?

Jubilee south to Waterloo District line going East from Waterloo to bermondsey  I believe Mark III was also meant to have an EO pod (yes the non-WSI version): The Mk. 3 variants are powered by Shakti turboshaft engines developed by HAL and  Turbomeca. The helicopter underwent high-altitude trials in...

Get ready to watch the maiden flight of LCA’s naval variant this July link2 The article says that the N-LCA will be flying with the IN MIG-29ks by 2014, but surely this isn't correct- it is too soon, IAF LCA has taken years to test. Also is the N-LCA based on LCA MkI or MkII? as it seems pointless ...

Does anyone know where I can watch/buy the full series of Nat Geo's "mission navy"? Preferably free online! Would really like a watch apparently they even show MARCOs at work.

I know this has been discussed before, but what is the latest on the Mahindra Axe's induction into the IA? will it be anytime soon? As the trails seem to have been completed a while ago. Why no news at all?

Does anyone know the status of the Zittara (M-TAR) in Indian service? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Tavor_TAR-21#Variants As I know the CRPF have started using the M-TAR but I think these are Israeli and not OFB made.
