@DESERT FIGHTER As compared to other SF operators, doesn't SSG commandos combat gear looks little primitive. I mean they are just carrying 2 guns. No hand grenades, less ammo , A light Bullet proof jacket. Communication gear is also so so. What's your take on it. Is it due to mobility required in such a terrain that they are wearing less gear?

Last pic in above post, SSG operator knee dug in the rocky clay without knee pad, discomfort would distract him greatly
Its low intensity combat in built up areas, their lines are within a few hundred meters of them so they usually operate light with just the basic essentials. Many soldiers also find that knee and elbow guards hinder their movement and so their adoption in the battlefield is sometimes missed out but seeing as its the battlefield and the soldier's own comfort can be given preference over protocol, its the small things that keep morale high.
And no hand grenades ?

Knee pads are a recent addition. Most of the hardening done in the SSG is without any of such luxuries.@DESERT FIGHTER As compared to other SF operators, doesn't SSG commandos combat gear looks little primitive.

Absolutely. In semi-auto, the accuracy is just fine. Its not a marksman weapon, but sufficiently accurate for infantry with a scope on.Agreed on the semi automatic part.......... speaking from experience sandbox, if you have spent sufficient time with an AK, you can even use it in Shikkar and shoot down a murghabi (while in flight)!
Love that weapon............
