vdutta,
Thanks a lot. If you come across any other MARCOS pics from Navy Day celebrations, please post them too. Also, did anyone come across any good video footage of MARCOS demonstration at Navy Day? All I can find are footage taken by jingos using hand held cameras. Was the event not covered by any news channel?
Thanks.

OOOOFFF! That guy really looks like he's been landed a heavy kick. Kasab should be used for such demos and he should earn his keep. Also Afzal Guru etc.

Is the right-hand-side MARCO's MP5 missing its mag?

Gaur · Post by **Gaur** » 06 Dec 2010 19:43

^^
No, the mag is very much there. Although, there is some motion blur present...so you may have been confused by that.

Raja Bose · Post by **Raja Bose** » 06 Dec 2010 23:50

^^yeah, now I see it. I guess the mag is more worn than the weapon and almost seems to blend with the background grey. Saw the same phenomena with the CISF guys at T3 in Dilli - their MP5Ks are shiny while the mags are pretty well worn. The MP5Ks have a clip arrangement which makes them hang from the belt and allows the fella to quickly swivel it and shoot from the hip.

It is like how Heath Ledger made the pencil disappear in The Dark Knight. In real life, that Marcos would keep an empty magazine upright in the chair and then slam the Paki down.

(answer's Doc-saar's comment on the dude's expression)

Al Quibble: despite good TFTA credentials, that impersonator looks too pretty to be a paki, not realistic

Rescue operators reach the site where a Mi-26 chopper of the Indian Air Force crashed at theTechnical Airport in Jammu. AP Photo/Channi Anand
Daily Excelsior:
Seven Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel including a Squadron Leader and two engineers of the Konkan Railways Corporation Limited (KRCL) were injured. The helicopter was airlifting heavy road and tunnel construction machinery for the Northern Railways to Reasi-Sangaldan stretch of the Katra-Qazigund Railway Project. When it attained the height of just 30 to 40 meters above the airstrip, the helicopter all of a sudden crashed and fell on the ground near the runway with a big bang causing grievous injuries to all the persons on board. Rs 4 crore worth Temrok machine weighing 14 tonnes suffered extensive damage in the crash, official sources said.

This was the 19th sortie of the MI-26 to the Reasi-Sangaldhan belt, where machinery was being airlifted to pave the way for construction of approach roads up to the alignment of the railway track, official sources said while disclosing that early 18 sorties were conducted successfully since October 29 when the first sortie was made by the MI-26 carrying dozers and tipper:

A tipper being off loaded from a M1-26 helicopter at a remote area of Reasi district in J&K.

It'll be nice to see you at Yelahanka with that gear, me & Kedar will be glad to help you along

Vishal ji I have a a Canon 30D , 17-55 f/2.8, 10-22, 70 -300mm and unrelated to aviation photography I have a 30mm f/1.4 prime and a 60mm macro. I am planning to lose my gear and get a full frame. Plus I don't think that my 70-300 is long enough or fast enough

. Let's see where it goes. Do you have a lens to suggest?

For me the biggest problem is that I don't have the time and money to travel

^^^ This is a BMP2-Sarath
WIKIPedia: BMP-2 "Sarath" based NBC reconnaissance vehicle. Externally very similar to the basic vehicle but fitted with all kinds of sampling, testing and marking systems. The NBCRV was developed by DRDO and VRDE and has been ordered by the Indian army.

^^^^
Did you guys check, the vehicle has a 100mm gun and BMP2 doesn't have a 100mm, it has only 30mm.
I think this is a derivative of BMP 1.

rohitvats · Post by **rohitvats** » 27 Dec 2010 00:19

^^^The gun in the pic is 30mm canon.

Very nice - particularly a view of the Suryakirans as one of the pilots might see them.
