The #MARCOS India's elite #Marine Commandos, stand as a formidable force against maritime threats, earning their reputation as pirates' biggest nightmare. Known for their rigorous training and versatility, these commandos operate across all terrains, embodying the pinnacle of military prowess. A testament to their exceptional skills was the recent rescue of the MV Ruen's 17 crew members from #pirates off #Somalia coast. This operation showcased the Indian Navy's advanced capabilities, involving a navy destroyer, patrol ship, the airdrop of commandos from an Indian Air Force C-17 transporter, drones, and a P-8 surveillance jet. The operation's success, highlighted by the capture of dozens of pirates without any casualties, underscores the Indian Navy's strategic and coordinated approach to modern warfare. John Bradford of the #Council on Foreign Relations praised the operation, emphasizing the minimized risk and the use of a comprehensive force, marking the Indian Navy as a leader in special forces operations. The MARCOS' role in such missions not only deters piracy but also reinforces India's commitment to global #maritime security.
