See the problem with such claims is the impossibility of proving them. I can claim the Russians came and attacked and since they left without anyone noticing, people will be hard pressed to prove me wrong. Differentiating between the SSGs, the Army, and the paramilitary is far harder to do when no one is even sure what happened. If I gave an M-4 to a paramilitary guy, does that make him an SSG? In a tense situation lacking only in factual information, to claim suspiciously specific information says a lot more about the propaganda employed by India than any real insight into the actions of the PA.
This whole situation has the scent of a typical Pak-Indo encounter. With more smoke and mirrors than real warfare. All we know for sure is that there were clashes and a loss of life on both sides of the border. Everything else, at this point, comes across as typical grandeur from two sides that refuse to let the facts speak for themselves. Problem is, due to the lack of information, the facts wouldn't speak at all and in the bravado filled world of South Asia, we just can't have that can we?
