Pakistan's Special Operations Forces: SSG | SSGN | SSW | SOW | SOG

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Havaldar Mustafa from the 7th Commando 'Babrum' Battalion (SSG) was martyred in a counter terrorist operation in North Waziristan during operation Zarb-e-Azb. He was leading an element of the Special Operations team to recover the infantry casualties from the combat zone. The terrorists had vowed not to allow the recovery of the Pakistan Army casualties, therefore a firefight erupted as the terrorists attacked the recovery team. Havaldar Mustafa responded to the pitched battle with courage and valor till he was martyred by a terrorist Sniper. His team mates notated the sheer bravery and high character of Havaldar Mustafa. We request our members to say a quiet prayer for him. May Allah (SWT) accept his youthful sacrifice and make Pakistan a nation it ought to be. Ameen.

the caption in the end really missed out the eyes of the editors
it reads "all characters in this video were real
except Capt Tariq Jamal.
Capt Tariq Jamal embraced shahadat on Aug 29, 2012...


what does it mean? Capt Jamal was unreal? fictional? seems like a type.

I noticed that, but remember this footage was re enacted by all those who participated in the actual operation and obviously Capt Tariq had embraced shahadat then so his character was played by another person.

makes sense .. should have been clearer though that Capt Tariq's role is played by an actor since he had died in the operation

thanks for explaining

Also if we want to use 5.56 standard why M-4, M-16 or any of there variants from US?? there may be better and cheap option than that like Steyr Aug and others too.

Steyr AUG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heckler & Koch G36 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heckler & Koch HK416 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

special forces are limited in number and have very complex and more dangerous roles. no expense is spared in equipping and training them so "cheap option" is not an option
but best choice in the market is adopted.
case in point. British SAS uses all American gear and weapons instead of its own standard issue SA80 rifle and gear.

5.56 is accurate and effective at short range so its good enough for CQB. even the 9mm MP5 is used for the same reason. you cant miss it and if the bullet hits the kill zone then the person is dead by the time he hits the ground.

that said. the carbine and assault rifles in the Western Europe are being redesigned to accommodate 7.62 round with improved accuracy, handling and recoil because the recent conflicts in middle east and Afghanistan have necessitated the need for 7.62 rounds in the situations where the enemy is hiding behind obstacles and wearing armor. 5.56 is perfect with there is clear field of fire and is in closer range. but an improved 7.62 carbine and assault rifle will do even a better job in taking out the enemy that is hiding behind brick walls or other urban clutter. .
