Some recent SOF pics from my collection:
Para SF operator somewhere in the Kashmir Valley, with a IWI Tavor TAR-21 rifle w/ Mepro MOR reflex optic/laser combo & pressure pad-operated flashlight. Note the TASL RAJAK I-222B binocular night vision goggles (PVS-31A license-manufactured by Tata Advanced Systems Ltd.)
Para SF operator (foreground, olive drab uniform) during Exercise Garuda Shakti-2025 with Indonesian Special Forces 'KOPASSUS' (background, camo uniform). The Indian operator is equipped with a Colt M4A1 carbine (one of the two platforms routinely issued to Para SF units, alongside the Tavor) w/ an EOTech EXPS3-0 & G33 holosight/magnifier combo & a Laser Aiming Module. The Indonesian operator has a Tavor TAR-21, provided from the Para SF armoury for the Exercise.
Same operator, same exercise (Garuda Shakti-2025). Taking place at the Special Forces Training School (SFTS) Bakloh in Himachal Pradesh, northern India.
Navy's MARCOS operators, pictured during a Jungle Warfare training exercise. Armed with IWI X-95 bullpup carbines w/ Mepro MOR optic/laser. Note the IWI Masada 9x19mm pistols (locally manufactured by Adani Defence as the PLR-9) in holsters.
MARCOS operators in a screengrab from an Indian Navy promotional video. Practicing a Visit, Board, Search, Seizure (VBSS) CQB exercise. Seen here with the 9x19mm SMG-carbine version of the IWI X-95. Note the I-222B NVG on the Galvion Viper-P2 helmets, being seen in increasingly widespread use by MARCOS units.
NSG operator during preparation for a CQB exercise at the unit's main facility in Manesar, northern India. Equipped with the BNVD-P panoramic night vision goggles & ARJUN thermal imaging weapon sight, both from Bangalore-based Tonbo Imaging. The ARJUN is sitting on a raised mount on the SIG SG 551 rifle.
