You are right, Gaur-sir.

Rocky&Mayur had shown 7 Para and not 10 Para (SF). Jai Jawan ( with Ranbir) had shown 1 Para at Nahan.

Howevere, the reporter in this show specifically mentions 10 SF( repeatedly) but the location is definitely Nahan!!!

nelson · Post by **nelson** » 24 Mar 2012 23:18

When such elaborate training is purportedly carried out in Nahan, it is more likely that it is the Special Force Training School in Nahan, rather than any individual battalion. Here is an old story.

JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska - Indian Army soldiers and U.S. Army Soldiers celebrate during a Diwali Festival Nov.5 at the Wilderness Inn dining facility on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska. The celebration is in conjunction with the combined training exercise Yudh Abhyas 2010 that serves as an opportunity and to strengthen operational ties between the armies of India and United States and create personal relationships as well.

Its an old video(Nov 2010) on India-US joint base, alaska. But the point is what kind of join army base IA require with USA in Alaska and what kind of expedition is it? Any guru kindly en-light the matter.

err joint base doesnt mean india-usa joint base. Joint in the sense it is used by the army and the airforce of the us.

A video of the inside of C-17 from Aero India 2011. Apologies if it was posted before. At the end of the video the pilot tells how easy it is to fly this giant. Impressive! Daniel Flick from India Air Show, Boeing C-17 Globemaster

India should try and bring its MTA plane to these standards.

NDTV Hindi has come up with excellent documentries in the past as well. Good to see the Army let JCOs and even jawans meet mediapersons. Rocky and Mayur series on NDTV English are also good.

Ballistic helmets, night vision, M-4 carbines, TAR-21 and MAC-10s everywhere ... no patkas, INSAS or Sterling in sight

^^ So, as per the vid, the IA SF follow 6 man squads? ( IIRC, MARCOs follow the 4 man team funda)

Very nice vid though..

Assault team strength is not set in stone. It varies depending upon the operation.

Interaction with JCOs and jawans is to expected since this documentry was shot at SFTS which trains only ORs.

An almost 6 min long 1080p video of Indian and U.S Soldiers during Operation Desert Lark (Yudh Abhyas 2012).

The first 1:30 mins is a visual treat for jingos.

Gaur Sir,

Since the cat is out of the bag, I might as well comment on it now. Assault Teams comprise of Squads and are commanded by Captains, not the other way around. A SF Coy in turn comprise of a number of Assault Teams and Support Teams. But yes the number of squads can be scaled according to operational requirements.

IMHO, over the recent half a decade or so the best thing which our constant interaction with "Western" SF has done is to impel the drive to have decision making and autonomous ability at the sub-unit level. This is probably one of the biggest leaps that we have achieved from a commando ops towards a more special operations orientation. Junior Leaders are now taught to think, adapt and advise their leaders. The casual hierarchy in SF compliments this.

Both Officers and NCO's undergo training at SFTS and continue to come back.

Well. My fault. I should have looked at the WiKi page first. The heroism and sense of adventure is great but the video has a lousy ending and I wish I hadn't spent nearly an hour watching. Pah!

They sepnd over one year shipping 4 new engines and repairing the plane. The man who does much of the mechanical work actually dies. And then the plane burns up as it is about to take off.

Shiv ji, Techno Firangi got it good.

You remember these firangis didnt allow even one Indian on board any of the ships in the movie '2012', not even the Jimi Mistry who was shown no less a tech expert.

Just kidding here.

I think I have seen that movie and if it is what i think it is then it was a reasonable movie. Is it the movie where everything depends on one guy who has only made a model plane and who then rather convincingly explains why modelling is more difficult then the bigger ones?
