Cool- any pics/vid?


I guess that makes sense- they are experts in mountaineering and navigation, are incredibly fit, can survive unaided for days etc.

I don't think that there any vids yet about them, though some pics may surface soon enough. They have been inserted into areas that are completely cut-off to the extent of even lacking foot-trails and have been tasked with extracting people there who have moved away from lower ground and the ravaged river banks. They will marshal the refugees and help extract them to more accessible areas, in some cases to the extent of carry some of the vulnerable folks viz. elderly, sick and injured and children.

no its not ndrf....they r some airforce comandos or something dnt knw!! saw a video of personels being droped from chetah helicopter with heavy bag packs......nd after droping them the helicopter flew away!!

It seems that they are SF, Para-Commandos. That is what one Army Brig. said.

yeah they r sf i guess....as the report on ndtv said they r specially trained who can survive w/o food for several days

Just saw a interview with an IA Lt Gen who said PARA SF/Airborne have been used to rescue survivors in the most remote and isolated locations where road transport is non-existent. He said Paratroopers (Airborne not SF in this case I'm guessing) para-jumped from helos into one of these locations as fast-roping/slithering was not possible. And then these Paratroopers will be carrying the civilians on their backs (along with their gear) to a safe(r) LZ just-

In another incident Paratroopers rescued ~70 semi-conscious survivors from the middle of a river and got them MEDIVAC'd to a hospital.


Proud to have a family member who has served in the PARAs.



All these rescue workers- CAPFs,IA, IAF, NDRF etc all deserve more than they will get. My are the epitome of unsung heroes. A thankless job indeed. SALUTE!

@Abingdonboy

Are we talking about these guys? They seem to be a mixed group probably called from different outfits. I can even see a soldier with CRPF Cobra camo on? Maybe search and resuce guys extracted from various units?
