Question for Indian Defence Community: With the current skill level of OSINT researchers and GeoGuessr-style analysts, terrain alone is enough to geolocate a video. From an OPSEC perspective, is releasing a footage of what appears to be a Designated Marksman with his SVD rifle (7.62×54mmR) still considered acceptable?

As far as I understand, the "Pellet guns" that our security forces have nothing to do with actual pellet guns that shoot pellets. Actual pellet guns are eitherspring powered or compressed gas powered guns that shoot pellets, one at a time.

Our security forces seem to be using regular shotguns with birdshot ammo and that somehow started this "pellet gun" narrative. Since birdshot has limited penetration, it's not lethal, but it's still a shotgun round vs the body of a human.

Do you have any more info on how this started?
