NSG are looking awesome but I still think they have a long way to go, they are easily the best equipped (and best trained) intervention unit in the region but they should be on par (in equipment terms) with the top units of the West (FBI HRT, GSG9, GIGN etc) and I still think they are a few steps behind but they are closing.

NSG know this and they have an active future soldier program running until 2025.

Belgian Shepherd (Malinois)
Awesome dogs (Malinois)! Smart, agile, fast and a terrifying bite!

All told these dogs cost around $10-12,000 USD each (working line breed, training, lodging , healthcare etc) and they are worth every penny.

+maybe this Malinois is the infamous Rocket from Pathankot ops?

Much much much more on its way regarding the kit before 2020 bro.

No buddy..I was having a chat with a NSG SRG Operator.So he told me that more upgrades are on the way and might well happen before 2025.
Agreed bro, I fully expect the NSG to keep making progress and commend them for their forward thinking in regards to their future soldier 2025 project. No way are they going to stand still in the interim whilst those technologies are developed though, and atleast the GoI does seem to be behind them.

Still think a number of strcutural changes need to happen though:

Thinking about the present day NSG structure and deployment patterns I think this model should be purused:


1) have a central team of career NSG operators (present deputation formula means all are on 3 year tenures), these can be the"Phantoms" ie the top socring NSG recruits can be the "main counter terror task force" (already exists in Delhi) made up of a self contained assualt unit with all support teams (EOD, K9, sniper, logistics etc) and support equipment (vehicles, supplies, ammo etc) deployed in a central location in India and co-located with them should be a SQN of V-22s 24/7 manned and ready to fly to any corner of India AND a 1-2 C-130Js for any out of country contingencies/missions for A&N.

2) Continue this hub model as it already exists but provide all NSG hubs with an adequate number of medium lift helos (10 ton class) so they can fly to anywhere in their area of responsibility rapidly. The present limiting factor for the NSG's response time is going to be mobility and on Indian roads this is going to be most acute. These NSG teams in the hubs can be the same as current NSG operators ie on deputation from the IA for 3 years but the top 1-2% can be eligable to stay on and move to the main CT task force if vacancies exist.

It is a similar model to the SEALS (regular SEAL teams and then SEAL team 6 made up of the cream fo all SEAL teams)



Did the SRG operator happen to say anything else? I always wonder what kind of knowledge the SRG guys would have of the SAG.
