Are these people first required to attend CIJWS or can they go on deputation without it as well?

Indeed. All formations with the "CIF x-Force" designation in Army are all RR formations. But didn't know about Assam Rifles being on deputation to RR. You are right, she is from Assam Rifles, her lanyard checks out.

I remember reading holding of LMG has been raised to two per section already. RR

I still think that in mountainous terrains, with a few exceptions like Spanggur gap, Light Infantry reigns supreme. We just need to give them the right tools. Russians have terrain that favours mechanized warfare and they've been doing it since they learnt their lesson post Op Barbarossa...

Maybe we should, but frankly we go no money. And I've never seen Army interested in that sort of thing. Indian Army has around 360 Light Infantry Battalions. If we convert even 100 of them to Heavy Infantry like the American Stryker BCTs or Chinese Medium CABs, we'll need a total of 6,000-7,000...

Does anyone see that poster towards the right with the photo of an all terrain buggy? I've never seen Army use something like this. Are they acquiring it? Zoom in and you can read its from Polaris, USA. Probably Polaris RZR?

OK. Let me try again. To prevent straw-man, I'll simply ask you:- Do you think our Special Forces have a scope for improvement? If yes, why has it not been done yet?

Are you going to categorically deny that Indian SF are not looked at nor developed by the Indian Military brass as a Special Force should be? Are you going to deny that a problem exists at all? And your lame excuse is:- SF is just tip of the spear and since our spear is strong, lets just forget...

I stand corrected. Its not the blast radius but the fragmentation radius. And as per the figure provided by @porky_kicker in his post #862, its not 3m offensive, 5m defensive. Rather it is 5 meters offensive with less but lethal shrapnel and a sleeve that adds more shrapnel (thereby reducing...

These can't survive an IED blowing below them. Which is why MPV by OFB and Mahindra are used. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Sirji I have been reading your older posts while reading older pages of some threads. As a result, I am well...
