Army begins raising new ‘Bhairav’ commando units for swift strikes on China, Pakistan fronts

The Indian Army is set to establish five 'Bhairav' light commando battalions by October 31, drawing soldiers from existing infantry units. These agile units, equipped with advanced weaponry and drones, will enhance swift strike capabilities along the Pakistan and China borders. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between regular infantry and Para-Special Forces, relieving the latter for critical missions.
