For argument sake, how does 9SF compare to 1, 4, 10 (my favorite) and 21SF?
Look since these are all SF so all of them undergo tough probation.
I know a guy who went probation at 9SF and he doesn't want to go back. LoL and he is a 22 yr old infantry guy.
I think 9 and 21 are more comparable in the nature of operations they do.
1 is a tactical reserve in its true meaning.
4th is also a very good unit with proven record.
Mostly all Para units have seen some action or the other.But there is only one which is constantly at war against a tough enemy since a long time.
Some of the operators who got matyred and are our heros belong to 9SF.
All units are the same in equipment and training with everyone having operators for any kind of op.
But some have tasted more blood than others.
There are only a few unit in the Indian Army and Para SF whose every movement including the name of the CO and which officer is on leave etc are watched by ISI and SSG.
9 Para is that unit!
