Members of the Indian army are visiting military installations throughout the United States for two weeks to compare numerous weapons systems. Sniper on your six.....watch out! Really well camouflaged, this sniper patiently awaits for his target to pop up. Posing for the camera is this section of Para Commandos, armed with everything from pistols to sub-machine guns to assault rifles and even the 84mm Carl Gustav anti-tank launcher!
