Could be drawdown to retrain COIN soldiers for peer conflict before taking PoK. :daru:

US is moving past the razzle dazzle Battle Drill 6 emphasis. The new phrase among soldiers is "Don't do BD6 if you can do BDA". Recent induction of M10 Booker is for exactly that purpose. Send a 105mm shell through the window instead of soldiers through the door. They even classified M10...

Yes, individuality. Exactly what you want in your military units. Its a "unit", not a disjointed group of people doing their own thing. Its EXACTLY what you don't want in a "unit". Secret's in the name.

Yep. I was thinking of exclusively Airborne infantry in my head. Although if enemy air defenses are up, airstrikes may not be an option. Again, all that is HIGHLY situational but the crux of the matter is, airborne troops have to be a cut above regular infantry to survive a full scale conflict...

Airborne troops are basically infantry with severe disadvantages. Depending on how far behind enemy lines they drop, they lose their ability for combined arms warfare in totality. They probably can't call arty, can't be supported by significant armor, can't call air (if enemy SAMs are up), are...

Okay. So the civil war will come sooner. Great. NE will become a bigger headache than Kashmir.

I really doubt the video is from NE. Probably filmed somewhere else because IA wouldn't let these fuckers breath without the fumes of some angry gunpowder. Still, we're in for a rude awakening. NE isn't safe anymore till Myanmar civil war rages on. It's a pickle we're in. With the conversions...

True, true. Its still pretty cool. Stuff like this would've wreaked havoc in the Red Corridor and we wouldn't have lost that many men beating it down with unending area domination patrols with zero ISR.

The kind of stuff US Police is using. Granted, Sheriffs are more akin to federal police but look at the ISR footage. It's reading thermal signature while maintaining a coloured view of the surrounding. They're apprehending pistol wielding schizos with such tech. Not a knock on the Indian...

That ammo ring decor will cook and blow up the barrel mid firefight. The ironsight with the scope is actually not a bad idea though. I'm sure our telebunny didn't put any thought in it but you can have the irons zeroed at one range and the optic at another and you can easily transition the zero...

Either you'll do very infrequent jumps (all with combat load) or you'll do frequent jumps (some with and some without full load). If you do frequent jumps with full load, goodbye legs. There's some debate about whether HALO/HAHO are actually practical because of the risk of injury or death even...

Stress drill to simulate shooting after running. Heavy breathing causes significant bobbing of the sight and this teaches you how to manage that motion while keeping some semblance of accuracy.

SEALs/any naval SOF in US generally have a SARC in them. His entire job is being a medic and will often be kept in relatively safe positions to make sure he doesn't get hurt. Much like how they use JTACs/CCTs. Green Berets also have 18D who go through the SOCM. These compositions can be...

Pretty cool to see the shield carrier support thing (I refuse to call it an exoskeleton) being used in actual ops. Not the sexiest tool in the shed but very practical.

I will double down on what @SwordOfDarkness says. Indian Military will take PoK within 5 years and be pulled into another COIN marathon afterwards. Manpower can not, will not and should not be cut.

That's a good physique by an standards. As @COLDHEARTED AVIATOR said, their diet is lacking in protein and thusly, they probably have some deficiencies due to their regimen but considering their diet, I can challenge anyone to find such specimens. Room for improvement is always there but the...

Not even a medic tbf. Just a doctor. She'll probably never see true frontline. At most, be posted at the front most field hospital if anything.

QAT is an outlier. Probably the only unit in India which is inching towards SOF status without even being SOF. Love these guys to death. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't they first ones to obtain GPNVGs and acoustic gunshot detectors?

Ego and interpersonal relations with the big Army seems to be the dealbreaker for our elites. There's some substance to the fact that since SF is so small and the officers aren't usually commanding as large of a formation as their counterparts in infantry or something like armored corps, they...

Suuure. Mods should start banning people who prop up enemy propaganda to further their point. Did he tell you to talk about it all on a public forum?
