Whats your opinion on this secret NSG sub unit called Phantom Commandos?

Maybe they are the ones testing new tech, gear and tactics?

Watched this programme in RSTV Yesterday....... Amazing stuff. Interesting points were

1) Firing simulator
2 ) Training on crawling across live firing
3) Training to drivers ( I loved the way the spun an Ambassador)

Couldn't find the whole video, only got the promo.....

@Abingdonboy

Sadly not a great insight into the NSG, but perhaps this is intentional- the narrator pointed to the fact the NSG were being very secretive and many details were classified.

Real shame no room intervention drills were shown mostly just training/selection of recruits which in itself is pretty dull.

Nice find, but the narrator sucks so hard, it almost hurts..

Better than that Rajiv guy at NDTV!


@Koovie

first time I am hearing about this "Phantom" squad/category I'd really like to know how this fits in with the NSG's deployment i.e. what are these guys used for?

Perhaps you are right, they act as a test bed for the new stuff (equipment and tactics) but the narrator also mentioned that that 1% attaining "Phantom" status were moved on to more advanced training so it seems they have an operational role. Perhaps used as air marshals? Instructors? Foreign liaisons?

@COLDHEARTED AVIATOR any thoughts?

To create secret pool of cream of the crop operators of the Army for deploying in highly classified ops.The base is probably in the foothills of Himalayas.The NSG is gonna come completely under Army soon.

Garud or Para ?

Garuds

They look well armed.

The IA is capable of doing this itself without outsourcing this to the NSG surely- why get the NSG involved at all?

I seriously doubt this bro, even though the SAG is 100% made up of IA operators, the NSG as a force comes under MHA/civilian control and are thus a civilian/police CT unit as is the norm for such units all across the world. Putting this force under Army control would serve little utility IMHO and would be a drain on the IA's resources whilst right now the NSG is funded from the MHA's annual budget. The situation as it is is looking ever more promising- the SRG is being cut back on, the number of protectees is being cut and the CISF is being lined up to take over much of the NSG's VVIP protection tasks. The NSG is getting back to its original CT mandate meaning more of its budget goes to SAG. The reason the SPG is easily the best equipped Police unit in India is because it has the highest dollar budget to unit operator ratio of any CAPF. The smaller the NSG gets (by reducing SRG) the better equipped the SAG will get.
