NSG Special Rangers Group.
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
I would assume they are the SAG since not sure if the SRG (composed of paramils) are actually seen in/given "combat gear" (like in the above pic) and are usually seen in "normal" black uniform(with beret) surrounding the likes of Mayawati, Mulayam etc...
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Look at the assignment profile here,they are in escort/protection duty over here,SAGs are not allotted these type of duties,hence my conclusion,I maybe wrong though.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Yes, it is silenced a mp5. I think its MP5SD3 but I cannot say for certain.
As for the source.

There is another pic that I had posted at Sp forces forum from the same source.
Note that this commando does not carry the silenced version.

NSG Special Raners Group... I guess they were deployed near the vehicle parking for the VIP convoys as a visual deterrence and also effective security...Gaur wrote:

I think it is more of feeding the "beast" of western mind set. I can't wait for pic of GI Joe/s riding an elephant along with IA folks.Raja Bose wrote:desi jawans are up and close with the beast - must have taken some commando courseGagan wrote: Err,

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
What is the headgear worn by the men in the above pics called?
They are not the regular helmets and have been worn by the army for a long time.
Does it provide better protection compared to the regular IA helmets?
If yes, then why dont all troops wear them?

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
They are called phatkas and are light weight.

Are they paras or Maldivian Troops training with TAVORs?
The helmet and t-shirt look very different to me.
ADDED LATER: Is the helmet camo same as the Maldivian Army Camo?

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
IIRC, the unique (some may say unaesthetic)design of phatkas is due to unique requirements of IA. Regular helmets cannot be worn by Sikh soldiers. Hence the patkhas, which can be worn by everybody.AdityaM wrote:What is the headgear worn by the men in the above pics called?

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Hi....Are these fresh indigenous MPV's or licence produced Casper's ?
Thanks
Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
You mean Casspir.
These are OFB produced and based on Ashok Leyland chassis AFAIK. There are two models, the smaller one is based on Tata model. There are some good pics out there of these deployed with CRPF in Chattisgarh.
India should make our COIN forces the best equipped and best protected in the world. I hope these are mass produced.

So the photos of the MPV you posted a few pages earlier are based on the Stallion trucks...Aditya G wrote:You mean Casspir.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
bala, was it you I had a discussion with about stallion/MPV sometime back ?
anyway, I was looking over my old collection and I found that around the time casspirs were inducted, (late 90's) some of their engines were malfunctioning (mercedes made engines IIRC) and those were replaced with sumo engines with good results.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
AK and Tavor are CQB weapons. Doesn't make sense carrying both. However, a squad marksman using an Insas based sniper and Tavor as secondary weapon does. Hence, my guesstimate.shashank_c wrote:KiranM wrote:^^^

Hi...Check out this link :

This is an advertisement from Ordanance Factory that came in yesterday's Hindustan Times. Check out the 2 camos. I have seen the jungle camo but I am yet to see that desert camo.
Has anybody seen it in public ???
Thanks

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
Tavor is not a CQB weapon. It is more convenient to use in CQB situations because of its relative compactness due to bullup design. However, its range is in no way a limited as compared to other assault rifles.KiranM wrote: AK and Tavor are CQB weapons. Doesn't make sense carrying both.

Technically, AK is also not a CQB weapon. But it is inaccurate at long ranges, so I somewhat get your point.

A line of the Indian Army version of Mine Protected Vehicles (MPV) during a flagging off ceremony at Ordnance Factory in Medak District some 60kms from Hyderabad on October 30, 2009. Fourteen MPVs were handed over to the Indian Army by the factory which produces an array of mine and bulletproof vehicles including the Ambassador Car, Maruti Gypsy,TATA-407 and Tata Safari for use by the state police and paramilitary forces and also produces Infantry Combat Vehicles (ICVs) for the Indian Army.

Re: Miscellaneous Pictures - Indian Military
no, it's not OT.
there appears to be 3 different looking MPV designs from the sarkari stables, one based on stallion, one on tata and another of unknown lineage which looks more like the casspir ?
so it could be that you were right about the stallion lineage of the pic we discussed. unfortunately, till now none of the pics have positively IDed which version is based upon which basic truck design. incidentally ashok leyland is also developing a MPV design.
