The Indian Navy's elite marine Special Operations Force (SOF) which is known as Marcos, are being equipped with new weapon systems including Israeli IMI Tavor Micro (MTAR-21).
This has been mis-reported, these guys are NOT Indian navy SOFs but an Indian navy force-protection unit called Sagar Prahari Bal (SPB) charged with securing certain vital IN installations and critical IN infrastructure. Confusion arises because the IN SOFs (MARCOs) have the same US UCM camo and Tavors but these guys (except in the last pic where they are taking part in a naval boarding ex) are NOT SOFs but SPB. MARCOs are INCREDIBLY secretive and would never be used as guards aboard a naval ship (as the guys are in the said pics above) and if there is media about will always cover their faces.
we don't necessarily have to 'ape' the yanks always and every time....
ReplyDeleteWe know a thing or two too....
