Any reason why they werent included in our tender?

an interview with Lt Gen Katoch http://www.theweek.in/theweek/cover/prakash-katoch-special-forces-interview.html excerpts and Agree 100 pct that we have given too many details away (tactics were given away, field craft was given away, ingress and egress plans were given away).

So Far Indian SOF SOP does not include Suppressed weapons en-mass. Specially Long Gun ARs with suppressors used by other Global SOF units tend to be with barrel lenght of 8.5"-11inches and integral suppressors - We dont have such carbines in our inventory. Adding suppressors to 16inch barrels m...

^^ Thanks. I was told that while the prototypes were wood. the Production model may have have higher degree of blended material. Just wanted to know if anybody knows the build status of the Guns being rolled out

Its made by TV18. Which is an Indian Media Company owned by the Reliance Group. The parent Brand partner (History Channel) has little input in curation and production of regional content.

rkhanna

Thought HK had a ban on selling to the subcontinent.

rkhanna

Yes that's 4 Vikas / SG.

PS that's NSGs kill house they are training at

rkhanna

^^ Except the Civvie market in North America.

BTW history channel india is advertising a documentary on Chinese Special Forces and selling it with the Doklam backdrop "Know your enemy" lol

rkhanna

^^^ That is pretty funny. The chinis were among the earlier advocates for the bull-pup (along with the Brits and the Frenchies.) They issued it into their regular infantry. Unkil and Ivan, though, hated it. Now the PLA is going back to a conventional design lol. Glad the IA missed that so-called te...

China is replacing the QBZ95 with a new rifle. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/M4HPD9I.png And following the trend looks like there is going to be a 10"-11" PDW/Carbine version as well for SOF/MOUT troops http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2...

Anybody have more information, can't trust Sputnik or IRDW

Garuds have been in the Valley for a while. We dont know what went down. CASO is a very very broad term. And so is the word Ambush. This incident so far based on public press releases does not point to any mistake (even if something did happen). The Garud unit was imbedded and under the command of ...

Ajai Shukla claims they are around since 2005 and have even 2 HM commanders as kills in encounters Ajai Shukla is right and wrong. They have been since 2005 for protection of capital assets. Their Involvement in COIN is more recent. Secondly - Garuds are not "Training" with army soldiers....

It was a three man team with one injured and two martyred, sad day.

No. (dont think so) picture of Garuds form the Encounter. Identities no known.

Garuds from the Encounter

RIP to Casualties. wish we didnt have to find out this way

Seems like the INS Chakra suffered an accident ?! Anybody got any news?

NSG the premier counter terrorist force is in name only. Army has no respect for their operational capabilities. It is known in the inner circles that NSGs will never see any real action other than photo ops around our VVIPs. So the postings are very sought after and awarded almost always on nepoti...

^^ Dont forget Garuds will also start rotating in soon to gain experience. We have been hearing about it, but question is whether they will take up an AOR like Marcos and execute CT ops there. From what i understand they will be embedded with 31 RR and/or Army SF and not operate on their own. Outsi...

China just conducted its first live fire exercise. While there are reports that Japanese combat divers tested the defenses of PLAN ships in harbor.

Japan also has a base close to the Chinese

Think Magazines are a backward calculation of Army ORBAT of what the firepower of a Platoon needs to be.

"Agreed!! But does it necessitate an apple to Apple solution for this?? I would think not. It would be better to handle this with other assymetrical methods. One such eg is jeep mounted ATGM, purpose built for this situation. Or if armoured units are an absolute must then get some of those Vijy...

"With close to 200 choppers planned, why would IA want 200-300 light tanks? when attack helicopters will be better than tank anyday in killing another tank."

Because Air Power cannot occupy ground won. Infantry will. And Infantry will need fire support/Armour on the ready.

rkhanna

A Light tank could also form the core of a Dedicated Marine Infantry arm. (which if the rumors are to be believed is in the workings)
