    That is just a pathetic outlook. Next time when your bike falls into a pothole and you break your neck, be sure to tell yourself India is India, and move on silently not even questioning anything. Yes we know India is India and what our procurement system, economic restraints, and bureaucracy...

    Yeah and when even after decades the problems fail to get fixed, some people get frustrated. Not because they want to belittle Indian SF, but because they want the SFs to have the best that money can buy. And when frustrated, some like yourself choose to lash out by calling people who are...

    You do surgical strikes on the forum via wifi? Wow, must be a cyber commando. I should be careful. :eek1:

    Careful posting stuff like this here brother. Be aware that people come to this thread to 'feel good' so you are being a Paki agent by posting about faults/shortcomings within Indian SF.

    It's definitely not Tonbo BNVD (at least if we take the CGIs as exact representation, becoz we haven't seen any real-world model of BNVD unlike BNVD-P which has been seen many times). I'm not a 100% sure but I think it's an ITL Mini N/SEAS Mk-2 in binocular configuration. Have seen this NOD in...

    Myself been around forums and watching defence updates for approx ~10 yrs too, started off in my early teens (13-14). Have to admit, I was every bit the jingo and optimist that most new members are back then. Every time I see an optimistic post, I can't help but think to myself "yea, hang...

    There is no glock there, its a Salient Arms Strike One pistol.

    Old pic. But again, the point remains - https://defenceforumindia.com/threads/indian-special-forces.33520/page-776#post-1784543 If someone comes up with a view of the way things are and it so happens that they're wearing rose-tinted glasses, it's on the other members who have a different...

    People have listed the stuff we need and the companies, domestic and foreign, which offer it a dozen if not more times before on this thread. We have all the money we need. If we can buy farking $350 million a pop planes like C17, we can spare a few hundred millions for a comprehensive upgrade...

    Considering we lack JTACs, Garuds would be the only ones that can conduct forward air control from ground level.

    It's not going to present much of a 'new problem' or challenge. We have that many types (if not more) even today. AK, INSAS, Sterling, MAG etc. So it's more of an "ongoing problem" logistically speaking. However, this modernization presented an excellent opportunity to streamline this approach...

    The AK-203 deal has political backing and/or we have been locked into it politically, very much like the Ka-226 deal. What that means is that while we may even try our best to walk ourselves out of it, it'll be very difficult to tell the Russians off. More than likely we'll drag it on for years...

    Looks like that's a ROMEO series sight from SIG as well.

    Nothing wrong with a magwell grip per se. Sure it's not the best, especially in CQC - but if you've been clearing rooms or rucking it across terrain for hours, holding it by the magwell is pretty much the only way you can keep your support arm from giving out due to fatigue. IA infantry doesn't...

    As far as team compositions go, that's exactly what I'd like to know as well. I'd prefer it if it were the second approach (teams divided on service lines, but under same command). But so far there's little to no info regarding team composition. AFSOD Commander will be from Army, and will...

    I'll just list some components that would constitute the average 'combatant standard' - most Tier-2/1 SOF would utilize these or some equivalent of these. Crye G3 combat pants & shirt with conformal knee & elbow pad support Crye AVS or equivalent chest rig system, these have almost fully...

    Yes. Not the most contemporary LAM for this day & age but then again, neither is most of the stuff on our SFs.
