Indian Special Forces

[Abingdonboy]

From where do you have these pics?

A screenshot from the video above bro.

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

What's the background of this friend bro? How does he have such info?


Another pic of "Special Group":

+ bro as per my information SG is 100% made up of Indian SF operators, there is little Tibetan content in this unit.

Probation period dropout due injury(Para SF).

The video said it has Tibetians.

Probation period dropout due injury(Para SF).

How did he have info on the NSG then? And any other details he divulged about the SF primarily to do with new equipment?



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Something a member on another from had to say:


The production quality of this video is very high,along with the commentary this seem to be a professionally made documentary.All the information seem to be accurate and detailed,there are many never ever seen before photos which are not available in public domain.Hence, I am convinced everything shown is authentic.

Still few points.

1 When they are telling about different units(vikaas) of SFF ,they show each unit photo which are authentic.When they mention SPECIAL GROUP at 14:00 they show the very same men in black in a different pose,as all other units photos are authentic (easily recognized )there is no question of this photo of not being authentic and still being used in two place.

2 We all know that SG is the most elite unit and they get the best equipment and weapons,so a FN SCAR should not be surprising.

3

The guy on extreme right is operating a scar as per my guess due to rifle stock,plus check out the sights they are the same as used in the photo below.Plus same nvg on both the photos show similarity of gear.

Hence this photo is authentic and these are Indian forces SFF to be precise.I also got to know one more thing from this video,SFF is the force and vikaas are different sub units under it Special group being one of them.

He would have known from his interaction with Ex NSG operators in their parent Para SF unit.

No other details with respect to new equipments.

@Abingdonboy

Just imagine what would be the SG's current gear and weapons.The NSG's budget was quadrupled by Modi's govt.

Forgot to mention..They are the only SF unit to be Para dropped to 13000ft.

I'm just wondering what it is these guys exactly get up to. Being under RAW's command means they must be getting up to some interesting things.

Indeed, I was wondering if you could provide the exact wording of this announcement.I remember at the time you saying this and I'd just like to know how it was stated.

Can you tell me the time when you can see those scenes which are showing the guys in black?

 

[rockinghealer]

Guys i have a question.. @Abingdonboy @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR Is SG a separate special unit raised who are mainly comprised of Tibetians chaps or operators are mainly selected from SFF or any other unit? And How does SFF works? I means are they like normal infantry units or they do have some specialised operators among them like Ghataks or Para troopers?

Ya i remember you asking me for this before.The thing is that i dont have link to that video.It was Home ministers speech saying that budget for equipment,weapons and gear will be quadrupled this year for NSG.

SFF comprises of Nepalese and Tibetians as soldiers and Indians and Tibetians as officers.SFF is a force with the SG being the special unit.

The Indian officers belong to Para SF.

The structure is similar to a normal infantry battalion.

For starters SFF are directly under the command of RAW.

SG is the CT unit of the SFF and are almost exclusively made up of Indian SF operators but there are Tibetans in the unit also (as has been pointed out by @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR ).


SFF/SG works like the Special Activities Division of the CIA. They are the "shooters" of RAW, when you hear about a certain bad guy being produced to RAW at the Indian borders then you can count on the fact it is SFF/SG who have gone in to the said country and brought this about.

Beyond this I don't know what SFF but more specifically what SG do. I would say that this unit is going to see far more use in the coming years under the "Act East" policy of the GoI, there was a recent article about Bhutan where an Indian unit was witnessed in-country and it had been speculated this unit was SFF. The SFF will be useful in building up the capacity of neighbouring security forces to counter China.


I am most intrigued as to what SG does though. The most elite SF unit in all of India, a unit that is so secretive the GoI won't even acknowledge their existence. When exactly would they be used?

They are operational.The thing is that we wont ever come to know about them.Maybe they are in Afghanistan as most of us know that RAW is operating there and even in Tibet (obviously).

SG are shown at 14:00 and 14:28 bro

It is this picture that raises a lot of questions:

I had been quick to right this off as another foreign unit that they had put into this video on SFF- this happens a lot on these sort of Indian Military videos.

However looking closer at the picture did give me some doubts-

1)that door looks very Indian, I can't think of anywhere else that I would expect to find one that looked like that.

2) The use of single tube face worn (not helmet mounted) NVGs that the majority of the West has long since moved away from and the only units I have seen wearing these in recent years are the PARA (SF) and Garuds

3) I don't know what they are called but if you look at the boots of the operators you can see a green/camo strip, I don't know the purpose of these things but I have noticed this practice is quite commonplace in Indian units (could be with others too but I've only noticed Indian units doing this).



And just as an aside, and doesn't mean much really the orange walls and door reminded me of one of the NSG's kill houses in Mansear:

(a meaningless detail but, perhaps, worth pointing out)


I'll still need some convincing that an Indian unit operates the FN SCAR though but I can't decide one way or the other right now.




@Koovie @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR @sandy_3126 @Water Car Engineer @Unknowncommando @kurup thoughts?

Those men 're 101% indians

Take a look at this pic posted by @Water Car Engineer here post #2227 Indian Military Picture Thread | Page 149

Al-Qaeda may be allying with IM, LeT to carry out multi-city attacks in India, says NSG
post #15

was that what you doubted @Abingdonboy or did I get it all wrong? lol (if so it happens to me all the time)

 

[Unknowncommando]

Hmmm, could this really be Special Group?:


This is believable- there's nothing special about the Tavor in India these days and the SFF were the first unit to get these weapons

Very informative and they that orange wall when I saw first time I remind the same nsg training centre wall in the pics u posted.100 % Indian SF the helmets looks same as that of nsg.
1 vikas,2 vikas,3vikas,4vikas,special group and the last one is 6 vikas
Very nice observations bro. And also happy to see those weapons.but still some things are to be confirmed.

The men you are pointing out are NSG ma'am, the guys in the picture I am talking about are said to be a separate unit called Special Group. I was just wondering if I should believe that they are actually Special Group because they are carry some rather exotic weapons and ones I am very surprised they have- especially the FN SCAR.

My search by image says they 're NSG..lolzz
