Dhruv mark 3

Are you sure this is the MK.3? As I thought the Mk.3 had an EO pod? And from exterior pics I can't see one.

Also anyone notice in the pic of the exterior there seems to be some sheet of insulation cutting off rear clamshell doors- is this an adaptation for cold wheather ops?


+ am loving full glass cockpit!!! (will WSI have same cockpit?)

My bad, thanks for the correction. I posted wrong pics by mistake, these pics are a mixture of Dhruv mark 1 & mark 3. Refer to Ajai Shukla's blog for more info - Broadsword

They seriously need to replace their guns. Which I think they are doing.

I think the first pic (camo guys) maybe MARCOs but rest are definitely regular IN VBSS teams.

MARCOs:

+ check out badge on arms different from pics (just IN badge on VBSS).

MARCOS are similar to the US Navy Seals...Their identities are kept under safeguard....

I doubt those guys are MARCOS...

They are definitely not MARCOS. They are just the designated VBSS team embarked on that particular IN ship participating in the exercise. They don't just look different from the MARCOS (as evidenced by the shoulder patches) but they are equipped and armed differently.

And the guys in camo are ordinary IA infantrymen, not SF. Most probably 51 Inf Bde.
