Directed weapons Like Aditya And Dazzler Lasers Along with KALI are A REALITY
SAME WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY you see the next crysis game would be on Indian Army
KALI is not a weapon, period. Neither Aditya or Dazzler are weapons in true sense. They are more then incapacitor then a killing system.

I still don't understand why SFs, especially Para SF have to be brought in for CI ops. They are not meant to be used as the regular infantry. They are a trip of the spear, the scalpel if you wish and given their training and skills need to be used as such. This is a job for NSG or RR and if necessary, special sub-units especially trained for such incidents must be handed the task.

But it seems we are not the only ones, there have been reports of SAS and Navy Seals being used in the same way in the past. In fact in Afghanistan, seals are being used for a lot of infantry like tasks.

Of course, Paki SSGs (SarvaShreshtha G**dus) are in a league of their own- >30 lost in Lal Masjid and ~800 lost against Talibs, not to mention the fiasco in 1971 when 120 parachuted over Punjab and less than 5 made it back to Shitistan..Inshallah long may it continue.

Probably because it was not a regular CI op.. the building takeover by the pigs meant it became a CQB op and thats right up Para SF's or NSG's alley.

Parachute Regiment is better trained and reduces the chance of casualties. Casualties will result in political blowback on the government. You must have seen how the people started abusing Modi after the Uri attack?

Yes they are, but their training is varied and extensive for a variety of purposes. They are at their best in covert ops, causing mayhem behind the enemy lines. I believe NSG should be restructured into a the primary CI force.

Regarding casualties, we lost three brave Paras (not sure if they were SF) while flushing out the piglets in the same building in February this year.

I agree, but I would rather see NSG takeover such ops, leaving Para SF to do what they do best, because what they do best cannot be done by anyone else. CQBs in CI ops can be designated to specialised forces such as NSG.
