This was a picture taken last year of a Delhi Police commando. What happened to their Gear during the encounter.

Please discuss here to death

Agreed but they most probably were not doing recce with assault rifles in their hand. MP 5 is not an assault rifile but a sub machine gun firing 9X19 Parabellum pistol rounds. Cheers.... yep and the other two are MP5 in disguise or AK. They almost look like Vz-58's to me. May be the MP5 is the HK53...

MY OBSERVATION: These guys must be part of the special Cell. Shouldn't they be issued wih BPJ's at least. The officer who died was shot in the abdomen. He would have been saved. Loosing good officers like that is not acceptable. They are UC of the Delhi Police ATS (Special Cell). They were probably...

Mukul is right the System is very limited today. 10-15 years ago it was a great training aid but not so much today.

With Muslims, this demand is always a slippery slope. One has to be very careful. Their separatism usually starts with an innocent demand to be allowed to keep a beard or wear a scarf. But it won't stop at that. Once this demand is granted, the next demand would be to have a separate area for thems...

I agree. The Indian Army still marches to its posts mostly on foot and does not have the chopper taxis available to the average US GI. Moreover in high altitude areas and hot deserts, better to have lean muscle rather than bulk...bulky arnold type physique look great but naturally have lesser stami...

Nope, it's a common misconception that wheeled APC is better than those with Tracks. Tracks are easier to fix on the field. They are more flexible over terrain. Plus, no one can blow your tyres out. I don't think better but supposed to be more complementary for mech infantry units. wheeled APC prov...

Policing methods and operating procedures are archaic at best and left over from the British system with the sole aim of subjugating the population. What you say about "friendly local constable " is very true but its also true if he misbehaves with you or your family and you object. Of co...

The appearance as a powerful cohesive force makes riot control effective.

Hi Igorr,

what is the AK held by the punjab regt guys in the pictures with the US marines. I remember the exercise but am only now noticing the front of the barrell. Is is the 47 or 74. They don't seem to have the distinct 47 compensator which u can clearly see in the pictures after that.

The HAL LCH is purpose built for high altitude operations. There is simply no need to go in for Ah-64D or Mi-28N. The Mi-35s were only upgraded a couple of years back. I am sure they can last till 2010, by which time LCH will inducted in squadron service. For once I hope the Babus scuttle this atte...

My point is if the environment is hazardous like say toxic, corrosive or poisonous substance then it makes sense to ensure that it does not come in contact with the naked skin.

In July 2007, the US Army announced a limited competition between the M4 carbine, FN SCAR, HK416, and the previously-shelved HK XM8. Ten examples of each of the four competitors were involved. Each weapon was fired for 6,000 rounds in an "extreme dust environment." The purpose of the shoot...

So a question for the informed.. Do we still need so many para-military units. Why not combine them to make logistics easier.
