India's MARCOS commandos prepared for Abhinandan rescue mission

India's MARCOS commandos were prepared to rescue Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman from Pakistan if diplomatic efforts failed. The elite naval unit, known for covert infiltration, would have partnered with the Para SF to execute a rescue mission. This contingency plan, codenamed 'Plan B', was ready in February 2019. MARCOS and Para SF are highly trained special forces units capable of deep penetration and high-risk operations, demonstrating India's robust military capabilities.
