Here VBSS ( Black ) with Marcos
MARCOS are around 800 to 1000. 2000 SIGs will be distributed to VBSS & Sagar Prahari bal ( SPB ) too. Plus MARCOS have Tavors & AK-103 as their standard issued rifles. So not every SIG of Navy's share will go to them. During navy day VBSS was issued with AK,Mp5 & INSAS. Sometimes they get Tavors too. All these problems will be solved once production of AK-203 starts and rest of the sailors will also get equipped.

When the British Army got their first Apache, they asked for some RAF technicians to move over into the army, as it was a little more complicated than a lynx. I never heard of anyone taking up the offer.
