Like other countries,India is also having it’s own special forces units. Well question comes, Why do we need special forces?So, let me answer that.

Special Forces army are the special military groups or unit that can tackle different kinds of problems and disasters like terrorist attacks,plane hijacks,natural phenomenon etc.

As mentioned , here are the 5 Best Special Forces Of India That Are Too Dangerous.

1. MARCOS or Marrine Commandos

MARCOS Special Force is a Special Force of Indian Navy and is considered as the best Special Force Marines of India . It was formed by the Indian Navy in 1987 to tackle terrorism , amphibious warfare and other operations.

A major achievement of this force is that they were the part of “Operation Cactus” in the year 1988.

Being a Marcos commando is not that easy.More than 80 percent of the aspirants quit on the first day of the fitness test .

The rest are facing a five-week training process termed as “HELL WEEK” where they face physicall as well as the mental torture.

In 2008, Marcos (marines) underwent a special anti-terrorism operation with The National Security Guards (another special operational force) in Mumbai, India.

They were previously called as Marines Special Force which was later changed to Marcos.they have been called as “dardhi wala fouji” which means bearded soldier.They have been called so because they have to operate in civil areas.

Another fact is that no one knows who they are and where they live .They donot disclose their identity ,even their family members don’t know about them.

Marcos can tackle any problem but they are specialised in marrine operations.

2. PARA Commandos

The word PARA stand for Parachute . Yes you guessed it right! PARA commandos special force is a Special Force of Indian Army.
