HAL Dhruv production line.

They looks awesome and i think they have new helmets and they are carrying tavor which we know they have started to use.
Now biggest shock...
Marcos in cool new uniform
Are you sure this is a new standard uniform for the MARCOs? Looks more like US multi-camo during some Indo-US exercise. Personally, I prefer the black better; they look mean and menacing in that.
Marine Commando's slide down from a Sea King helicopter and take position during a simulated action onboard Indian Navy's aircraft carrier INS Viraat during an operational demonstration as a pre-cursor to the upcoming President's Fleet Review ( PFR-11) some 50 kms north-east off Mumbai coast on November 14, 2011.
That's good but this is more or less like an assembly line for custom made helicopters. Foreign countries are interested in Dhruvs and if we have to clinch these contracts, we need manufacturing and assembly lines at least 4 times bigger than these. Hope it is on the way.

Journalists can sometimes write really peculiar things. Note that caption above for example; it speaks of INS Virat being some 50 kms NE off the Mumbai coast. Well, geography says that INS Virat would then be somewhere ashore in the vicinity of Ulhasnagar or Ambernath. Pretty hard for INS Virat to get there! More like 50 kms NW, methinks.
Otherwise, nice pictures. Good that a Review of the Fleet is taking place. I've seen two previous ones (aboard ship), and its an event that is full of pageantry and all that.
