sorry, my mistake...that rescue was an army-marcos joint operation.. that operation was to rescue 36 para commandos of 10 para. i read about that from an article in bharat rakshak. now that link had been withdrawn for the internet.. if you have any friends in 10 para you can ask them about this operation or anyone who have any contacts in navy(marcos) can check this.
marcos give that interview only because they were ordered to do so. you may remember that during that time sushil kumar shinde(MoHA) give an official statement to media that those terrorist in mumbai attack were local hindu extremists, and mumbai police ATS had neutralised them. he say this on the 1st day even before NSG started their operation. after AF helicopter dropped NSG, people were in chaos. so marcos( as the 1st unit who started operation in taj) ordered to give that overview(as you say).
i don't know about the marcos's performance in CIJWS or in any other army run schools..so i don't want to comment on this.
yes paras had done more operations than maroc in kashmir and NE as that is their area. look only a handful of marcos are deployed in kashmir( less that 100). more than 2000 para commandos are deployed in kashmir alone, so obviously paras had done more operations than marcos.
if the marcos CQB or room clearance were worse then para are no better... before 26/11 our gov. or military never give much importance to cqb techniques. marcos were raised as a force to do QCB and initially they were trained by both SG and NSG..
bro, look i am here not to prove marcos are better than para commanods..you don't have to get angry on me. what i am telling is from what i read or know. i know you have friends in army, but you have to understand that i have contacts in navy, my friend is marcos. i have no intention to prove marcos is the best...
marcos personals are selected to SG. this is happening since 1987.
this man
MARCO ABNESH KUMAR SAXENA was in SG.
Marco AADESH KUMAR being awarded Shaurya Chakra this year for displayed professional acumen, comradeship and raw courage in fighting the terrorists in kashmir during a joint ops with army special forcs(to be precise 9th para) ...
^^ you see, marcos do operations with para commandos at places other than rivers/lakes in kashmir.
marcos holds a record of having no casualty during its operations in sri lanka and in somalia
this man Ajay Thapa,
you see a seal trident on this uniform?? it was given by a US navy seal team 6 commando for Mr. Ajay Thapa's courage and his performance in somalia. you can imagine how marcos performs in somalia if a navy seal give his trident to this man as a honour to his performance.
marcos is at war since the creation of the unit i request you to show some respect to the unit marcos. form sri lanka to kashmir they are always at war. bro you have to understand that if a small unit like marcos which are always understaffed because of its rigorous training and are busy with anti-piracy operations, deployed in kashmir because of something special in them. they are not in kashmir to operates only in water (that can be done by army divers)
