Indeed and in many cases it is the OEM that foots the bill for trails so this isn’t actually costing the units anything Nothing to get excited about until this is standardised across the teams

Tavor and MEPRO MOR check out but we’ve been burnt by this before, remember Godzillagate a few weeks back lol. will wait until we see this in the real world with these guys, in the navy’s own promos they have MARCOs taking down ships with full length rotted AKs and ill-fitting ACHs + one...

Like I’ve said before, PARA (SF) don’t seem interested in learning how to fight in the real world. They are fighting the same way they did 40+ years ago There are pics of the SAS in their kill house in the 1970s with huge flashlights attached to their MP5s and respirators on, ever seen PARA...

Absolutely no reason for a professional unit to carry an unmodified spray and pray AK like this with them as a secondary weapon Considering they are using m4s with holographic sights and no magnification whatsoever having a designated marksmen rifle might make some sense but this? are they...

Look like regulars Too much uniformity for a SF tram besides they don’t regularly patrol the LOC

MARCOs observers were also present

No plate carriers, ridiculous comns setup, no sights on the weapon, drop holster improperly fixed etc etc And once again the para-jump looks more like that of amateur enthusiasts and not combat ready, still yet to see any pictures of an Indian SF doing CFF with an actual weapon once again a...

That doesn’t explain anything just another fanciful story. still think these are NSG then

Fair enough. The grey ranks is something I’ve only ever seen on NSG thus far what’s the explanation for the black fatigues they gave then?

Interesting that this is 26 SCG in Hyderabad? Goa I understand but considering Hyderabad has its own hub and 26 are from Mumbai I wonder what the details here are

Looks like it’s being done for identification purposes. There’s blue, red and grey roles/teams apparently for this exercise Possibly done for the benefit of the friendly units (CISF etc) they are working alongside You can see it’s just a coloured T-shirt put over their black combat shirts

Looks like NSG look at the officer rank in the back- grey epaulettes which are uniquely NSG

I wish it was that simple. US SFs(and so Western by extension as they eventually ape the US units) are where they are today because of lessons learned in GWOT, almost all the cutting edge gear they have is as a result of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and to an extent Syria. If PARA SF were...

20 easily. In early 00s (GWOT) US SFs/SOFs had all the stuff we are considering cutting edge by Indian standards (integrated comns, 2-tube NVGs, lightweight helmets (with attachments) plus they had superior night-fighting capabilities to anything I've ever seen from any Indian SF- IR strobes...

Agreed although NSG is getting there, they are the only ones I have some hope in fo the next 5 years. The others will continue to tread water and rot.

I made it quite clear I was mainly talking about the Mil SFs of the 3 armed forces branches And no, there's almost no visible change on the ground today since 2010 From 2011, all of the kit in this is still standard issue for PARA SF today 2009 or 2015 or 2020? impossible to tell isn't...

Yeah that's my point, and when is this picture from? So what has changed in the last 9 years? The last 40? It's not about knowledge buddy, it's about reality and seeing things for how they truly are. I know it's a bitter pill to swallow but if we all take off our rose tinted glasses and...

Apples and oranges, is this their diving kit? Are these over the beach operations? Have we ever seen them operating in the water (wet) with any of the equipment above? They are meant to be a NAVAL SF and yet their actual maritime warfare capabilities seem to be the most backwards. It's not...

The Indian navy's most elite combatants (picture is from Dec 4 2020) Just don't know whether to laugh or cry anymore

I know what you are getting at but that's a 100% justified investment and was needed with the 747-400s coming to the end of their service lives. The current Air India One situation was untenable anyway and highly flawed, the new IAF-1s are exactly what is needed and a good investment. FYI all...
