I was about to ask the gurus here something similar. What is causing these many casualties even among the most elite of our units? What is being done at the infantry level to prevent loss of life? Very pained seeing brave young men going away so frequently.

That last pic is from a movie (Vaaranam Ayiram)!

Precisely and hence the 'phoren maal', case settled.

Yup you're right.

Maybe it's just me but that rifle (second soldier from the right) looks an awful lot like the HK 416 or is it just the M4 ?

Why why why does one nutjob or the other wanna ruin this thread? @mods please clean up this shit before it splatters all over.

First up I am more than happy to be wrong if that soldier is indeed Indian. Secondly just what are you implying by "your politics" and "your name says it all"? The "politics" of the SL issue is just as much yours as it is mine. How does problems of the people of one particular state of your...

Nevermind, I was just taking a dig at all of us arm chair generals. We seem to know what port IN destroyers set sail from, what agreements our governments have with who, who wears what, who carries what etc etc with absolutely no factual evidence to back our claims up. In a nutshell your guess...

Sure, whatever you say. I am sure you know it all! Cheers mate.

Not sure. The camo, comm set and the shoulder insignia makes it obvious that he isn't Indian. Matter of the fact the shoulder patch correlates with SL Navy insignias. Personally though I find this disgusting and disturbing, not sending the right signals to fellow countrymen down south.

The guy in MARPAT looks an awful lot like SL Navy SBS!

I did say "relative to other units", but whatever.

I am not suggesting anything just citing my personal opinion based on observation and yes we all know the state of NSG pre 26/11 but PARAs not really, they've had relatively better weaponry (Tavors) and kit for a few years now (only relative to other Indian units). Google SCAR L prototype...

Not necessarily, remember the SG is touted as the creme de la creme of Indian SF. They seem to get priority when it comes kit upgrades (First to handle Tavors). Going by that analogy, they probably got these helmets and rifles a few years before any of the other SF/CT units got (NSG in the last...

The pics of SG (appears twice) appears to be most certainly a little oldish. The kit, the rifles (both the FN 2000 and SCAR) look like the early models. My 2 cent intuition says the pics are from before when the SPG got their new kit (2004?). The other more interesting pic is the jungle one, the...
