Indian Special Forces

[Kompromat]

Thx. I saw thousands of "vs" conflicts in here between You and Pakistanis. Now i'm pretty sure that India goes all the ways :indianflag:

You farangis always want to see conflict dont you!

You farangis always want to see conflict dont you!

that's why we are marines in fact weren't these "conflicts" save us from the crisis! lol . Joke aside your SSG is as good as theirs. But the problem is the equipment. I mean your defence budget is too low for a country like pakistan. Correct me if i'm wrong your budget is completly up to your air force. poor naviers and SSG guys. Please get my point. and for the writer who wrote the "rape"post: Even in the most damned country's soldiers, they protect their people, they don't defend any kinda crimes like the one you sad. Yes it was a sad event but I'm pretty sure that indian army and law enforcements will show no mercy for the penetrators.

Isn't this pic from the drowning incident in a lake in Northern India?

Anyways I am not an expert on Marcos but the T-Shirt the guy is wearing is of Marcos...reason being the frog made on his back.The frog made on his back is also made on the walls of Marcos Kashmir base.

The other guy with a beard looks 100% Marco.

I was thinking that:

But AFAIK the Navy has less restrictions on beards/grooming standards as compared to the IA/IAF. So beard+navy doesn't necessarily = MARCOs.


And what is this drowning incident you speak of mate?

This pic has been taken from a local newspaper which reported that a guy got drowned in a lake near Chandigarh and Naval Divers were called...if my memory is not betraying me

I was not pointing at the beard but to the physique and the way of dressing.There is a rule I imply when trying to recognize soldiers from the crowd and that us to focus on the dressing and not the looks.I am no Sherlock Homes but this method has been quite successful for me.

To be fair wrt physique and dress it would be hard to distinguish regular IN divers and MARCOs:

This is a doubtful pic for me...my guess is that either they are Marcos or ex macros.Marcos are said to be closely associated with diving jobs in the navy.Why would a guy having such a physique not wanna be a Marco when he is working for the Navy and that too as a diver.Moreover Marcos have some of the best body builders in the entire Indian SF.

Like for example the hat they are wearing is a Army hat for only some units in the Army with IA camo being used...how the heck did they manage to get their hand on one as they would have never been to Kashmir right?..since they are not Marcos?

Sir these are regular IN divers! These pics are from ex SALVEX with USN and IN divers (not SFs)

Indian Navy Statement (edited): Indian and US Navy divers will tomorrow commence exercises in a joint salvage exercise off Port Blair in the Andaman Sea. The salvage exercises (SALVEX) from Jan 5-12, involves Indian Navy diving tender INS Nireekshak and USS Safeguard, a specialised salvage ship of the US Navy.

The aim of the exercise is to strengthen capability in niche techniques associated with diving and salvage. In the course of the seven day exercise various specialist salvage techniques will be practiced jointly by IN and USN divers

In this edition of SALVEX, the Indian Navy's team comprises 17 Clearance Divers including two officers and the US Navy's team comprises 15 divers including two officers.,

Livefist: Indo-US Joint Navy Diver Exercise Starts Tomorrow

I know what you're saying sir, but in this case these guys are just divers! You should be happy that such built guys are present not just in the SFs!

Mate,you are not getting my point.

I also follow defence news and I know it was reported that they are regular IN divers but my point is what makes you think so that they are not ex Marcos?

As far as I know Marcos return to earlier trade after they quit MCF.

When seeing pics I try not to go by what is being reported but to judge from their uniform.How can regular IN personnel get those hats when the regular IN personnel are not allowed to wear camo?

From what I know Navy doesn't have this camo in use and we have a highly disciplined force so it's not such that regulars can go to a Army Cantt and buy hats and wear it for work.

May I also remind you that the same hat with Indian flag was worn by a Para SF officer in Indo-US exercise in Rajasthan.

I hope you are getting my point here as I am trying to show you something which is based on my knowledge of how things work and I might be wrong too but I am not adamant on proving.

The reason for me doing this is also because of the lack of trust I have on the media reporting and their level of knowledge.Like for example in the exercise with Maldives it was reported that only Madras regtt took part whereas the truth is that 8-10 guys of regular Para battalion took part..how can I say that??..well the guy in one pic has a place for a tab just below his epaulette and in the IA only 3 units are allowed that...The Guards(mech inf) RR and Para..that is it.Secondly look at the VZs..infantry battalions don't have VZ only the RR and Para has it.

So I have lost trust on these guys mate..I rely on my judgement and in the end everyone can make a guess by carefully observing and don't follow blindly what the media/press reports.
