See you’re spewing the same old debunked talking points whilst simultaneously engaging in the same ignorant analysis you claim I am providing.
Sure the soldiers are well motivated but HOW can you possibly claim they are well trained when they can’t possibly train or operate in sync with actual modern units becuase of their equipment limitations? Training and tactics are a function of equipment, you’ve got it completely backwards.
Trying to claim that somehow Indian SFs are unique in their ability to withstand technological change and not adapt at all to the last 20 years so as to still be considered amongst the world’s best. But I’m sure the US is spending BILLIONS on their special forces just because they like burning money. Why give a SEAL $40,000 GPNVG-18s when they could’ve just learnt from the Indian SFs how to see and operate in the pitch black?
Your inability to accept that Indian SFs lag behind and could learn beatnik practices from the rest of the world is the kind of mindset that has led to this mess.
What happened after 26/11? NSG introspected and transformed their operational structure and upgraded their equipment. Indian mil SFs keep making the same mistakes but don’t seem to evolve let alone revolutionise.
Have you seen the “operator” transformation that has gone on in the last 20 years in the West? It’s even inspired those in the east and non-aligned world but Indian SFs remain immune and do things in their typical backwards way.
There’s a reason the world doesn’t rate indian SFs and it’s not Just because of ignorance.
Indian leadership doesn’t take SFs seriously and it all trickles down from there.
You've got it completely doggystyle, perhaps you like being #Metoo. I never said Indian SF shouldn't be equipped better, I only say your Western SFs are mostly for show and apart from a few respectable units in Israel, US, UK, Russia the rest are pretty much for show, they lack experience while they sport slightly better kit. In Indian conditions as proven by recent trials most weapons fail while some are just far too expensive or didn't respond to our RFPs, Our SF works with reliable equipment with Tavors, AKs, M-4 Mods, SCAR, P-90s, Negevs. Tavors are good, they have decent optics be it MARS or MEPRO MOR sights, they both have both visible and IR lasers. Sure we need better NVG, Thermal sights (hopefully massive scale orders for Tonbo products), good plate carriers and gloves & comms. They already deploy hand launched drones. Ballistic shields are commonly seen too. Some units have started receiving new gen helmets. Sure, there is plenty of disparity over many units when it comes equipment level but surely we're getting there. Some recent ops also had DRDO unmanned armed ground vehicles taking part. Wall radars are in use along with corner shots and other such gizmos. Garuds recently got a micro drone. It's bit of patchwork over the several units but to say they are horribly out of date is silly and pure fake news, none of the other countries have a size of SF as we do. Moreso to say this has somehow prevented them from performing any missions given to them is even more fake news. Also to say that this lack of the latest kit has somehow made our soldiers illiterates during exchanges with other forces is even bigger fake news. The truth has always been that India SF has been a very adaptive force and among the most capable on the planet. Equipment level won't help me prove that point but long list of successful missions, valor under extensive fire, an ever increasing kill list proves you utterly wrong. By the way, the kill list keeps going up.
So actually it's mixed news and nothing that proves our SF units are somehow less trained in any way and some equipment deficiency doesn't change the quality of the soldier. If anything, US or other SF units learn a lot more about actual COIN and Anti terror tactics when in India while ours get more exposure to their equipment and slightly better tech.
Might want to listen to what even US operators have to say about operational tactics, clearly someone thinks our tactics were superior even in basic exchanges.
So wait, Indian SF goes several miles into Pak territory with drones watching, real time feeds to PM, NSA etc., they fuck shit up on a grand scale over 7 different locations spread over a space of 250km, all without a whisper of an attack. Enemy is caught totally off-guard over a 100 KIA including over a dozen or more regulars, many posts destroyed and the return home was in broad day light via heavily mined areas, under heavy fire and you say we aren't up to mark, please save us your drivel. No modern SF unit has performed such a raid into such a hostile terrain while completing their mission on time and get back in one piece, all this was child's play. Name me one force that has undertaken such a mission of such scale in recent times.
Those 40K NVGs are only given to DEVGRU, DELTA and 24th STS.
Indian leaderships needs to get their heads out of their asses and fast when it comes to process and procedures. There is no question that a Special Operations Division will come up shortly, ground work for this has been going on for while. See it wasn't easy getting here either since any proper SOD also needs a proper space command to work hand in hand. Also keep in mind the Defence communication network,only came online in 2016, things take time. Chill. You can't put a SOCOM in place without having any of the other items first in place or just for sake of putting it in place.
Who are those wise geniuses that rate Special Forces by the way? Half those BS lists have names of forces that haven't had a kill for years. Nothing but cool looking gear. sorry but I'll take one lean, i'll equipped Indian operator any day thank you. All the kitted masturbation doesn't help if one hasn't actually burst out a respectable load at an actual target in anger, in other words jelqing doesn't count.
How about you make a list of your best and I'll dismantle it for you? That should be fun.
