After the 26/11 attacks, the National Security Guards are on a shopping spree. According to the Times of India,u00a0the elite counter-terrorism force has invited global bids for state-of-the-art weapons and equipment that will put them in the same league as the best in the world, namely the British SAS and the American SWAT.
So the next time terrorists are holed up in a building, the NSG commandos will be able to first get their measure by sending in mini remote-operated vehicles (ROV) from half-a-km away. The ROV will climb up stairs and inclines, look around corners and send back live video images of the terrorists' positions. And just in case they turn off the lights, the ROV will switch to night vision.
The commandos will also manage to eavesdrop on terrorists' conversations from a distance of 400 mts with special laser-listening devices that pick up vocals, record them and transmit them back. The agency is also buying audio and video bugs that look like ordinary buttons or tie pins for snooping on the enemy.
The NSG is making some significant additions to its weaponry. Apart from buying hundreds of conventional assault rifles and pistols, NSG commandos will carry lethal stun guns that will immobilise the target with a bolt of electricity.
This will help in catching terrorists alive for interrogation. Another heavy-duty addition to the armoury will be "anti-material'' rifles capable of shooting 12.7 mm slugs through thick plates of armour and concrete.
