Another diversionary tactic, sir. Rather than countering my arguments with solid rebuttals, you chose to employ ad hominem and declared that I have an agenda. You're acting as if ISI transfers a million dollars in my account each time I point out a shortcoming in our SF's preparedness. That's...

I don't which parallel universe you're talking of sir but I'm yet to come across a single serious guy on this forum who blamed our SFs for being under equipped et al, everyone here understands only too well that our boys on the ground have little say in the matter. It's the system - both the...

Sandeep is a defence journalist. Here's the article in question. RVC perhaps needs to up its game if their dogs turn on own troops mid operations. *** Tragic news emerged from Jammu and Kashmir on May 3, the day armed forces personnel saluted Covid-19 warriors across the country with flypasts...

PARA SF WILL GET NEW BIRDS! Indian Army has launched an RFI to procure approx 150 Micro-Piloted Aircraft System Type B. The system would be an aerial surveillance platform with day and night sensors to enhance the situational awareness of squad and troop involved in various special operations...

It was a good step. But what assets does 301 have, other than dhruvs ?

Before somebody asks why I'm putting a post about foreign SOFs here - It's to remind ourselves that wrapping shmags around your head like a 19th century decoit doesn't make anyone SF. These guys are talking about getting good enough to take on "near peer, high capability adversial forces", and...

Anyone wants to hazard a guess about the unit ?

NSG, as always, lead the way.

Gotcha. Sir, There have been endless discussions here on this subject and it has been more or less concluded that our SF/SOFs are under utilized. But that's where we have all been stuck for some time now, so please allow me this opportunity to ask you something: Let's assume for a moment that...

Legend has it that a peculiar case of a maverick British army officer was brought to the notice of Field Marshall Montgomery, during the Second World War. Monty, as he was known, saw the file and smiled. “Mad. Quite mad”. This officer was of Scottish descent, and that, to many, seemed like...

Thanks for posting. I think he's ad verbatim reading out one of his old articles. I'll try to find and post it here. Lol. He did mention "social media" in his ata Hasnain episode. Which two points btw ?

Nah man, you're cool. It was a nice catch. As for why wasn't it mentioned, I'd say my guess is as good as yours. Navigation is a critical skill so there's no way SF isn't trained for it. SFTS, Nahan was merely a training wing before 2004 so it could be that navigation capsule was imparted at...

This old article from 2004 is a long read but is sure as hell worth it if you can spare some time, contains a lot of interesting and exclusive information. ***** When the call came in the early hours of the morning on November 30, Colonel K.K.K. Singh thought that it was one of his golfing...

Know thy enemy, that's the logic. Irrespective of what's the origin of that weaponry, the fact of the matter is that it works and will probably be put to use against us one day in some BAT operation. It doesn't hurt to know what your adversary uses.

A) I realise it's a special forces thread. But considering the events in past few days I'm making an exception with this post. Also, FID is kinda SF work so it makes sense. B) This Ladies and Gentlemen is how we should bleed the Porkis Look at these chutiyas...they have no idea where is...

We can only speculate but it doesn't look like they needed to take any advantage here. SF guys fell so close to them that the gunfight must've been over in a couple minutes max. Like it was reported subedar Saab was lying on top of a jihadi, one doesn't really need to take any night time...

"A virtual close quarter battle ensued in which all five terrorists were killed and the six man squad lost five of its members." Yeah, General Hasnain is saying the same in that Rediff article. It's great to know one of our boys survived. Let's hope he recovers too in case he's injured...

I never made any excuses. No questions about their handling of the sitisitusi. Neither did I ever claim that their "trainee" status did in any way compromise the op. All I'm saying boss is that I've heard many people in the knkow say that these were trainees. And those people too had a very high...

*REQUEST* If anyone wants to fight then plz take it somewhere else. Last 4-5 pages on the thread are filled with pointless squabbles mostly.
