New IWI TAR-21 FLATTOP with MEPRO MOR of Parachute Regiment
Being Issued to both Airborne & SF Battalions
[/QUOTE]I was making a limited point about SF avenues by comparing to Infantry, and how SF officers could be retained.
Though SF is basically infantry, the avenues for promotion/growth are directly proportional to the number of vacancies at General level which could be "reserved" for SF officers based on the merit of their specialisation.
AFSOD is headed by Major General so that is one confirmed SF general. There is 50th Ind Parachute Brigade which is headed by Para officer for example.
SFF is headed by Major General as well, but by looking at the history Infantry officers seem to be heading it most of the time. Why not Parachute Regiment or Para SF.
Even at General level, many of the posts can be specific or "reserved" (I dont like that word either). for example, NSG's IG (Ops) should be from Para SF. If we do that, we will find more SF officers not leaving the Army early.
How many of these have been bought?

Look closely... These are their existing TAR-21 with an attachment of flaptop full p-rail.How many of these have been bought?
No idea. But PARA Airborne also getting these in good numbers.How many of these have been bought?
So they are replacing Fab mod Aks? Was the Aks meant just to act as stop gap? Heard many preferred Fab mod Aks due tk the stopping power.No idea. But PARA Airborne also getting these in good numbers.
Two of my SF buddies who used to operate with FAB Modified AKs are now operating these.
Dont think so.Para airborne also have been getting this.There is no way SF would give away their weapons when they dont have sufficient numbers.Look closely... These are their existing TAR-21 with an attachment of flaptop full p-rail.
Not replacing. They love their AKs & specially after spending money on modifying them with FAB they can't let them go. These are additions in their existing inventory.So they are replacing Fab mod Aks? Was the Aks meant just to act as stop gap? Heard many preferred Fab mod Aks due tk the stopping power.
It's possible. But atleast in that above image it seems to be the case... Something like FAB got done to their AKs. The rail might be a simple add-on attachment too.Dont think so.Para airborne also have been getting this.There is no way SF would give away their weapons when they dont have sufficient numbers.
Then why would they replace the Mars sights.Doesn't seems logical.Mostly brought limited numbers to distribute among thr newly formed SF units and also among airborne units in limited no.s.It's possible.

What's the difference between this tavor and the tavor used earlier by SFs? And why our SFs are not using modified AKs as they are more powerful than tavors? And are SFs getting Sig 716 or not???

Is that a Three point sling there?

I am only aware of visual differences with 0.1 Inch smaller barrel, full length rails & black magazines instead of gray.What's the difference between this tavor and the tavor used earlier by SFs?

Thanks for the reply! Pls Post the photos of modified AKs used by SFs, if you have any!I am only aware of visual differences with 0.1 Inch smaller barrel, full length rails & black magazines instead of gray.
SF is using modified AKs & won't stop using it till next decade.
Not really sure about the SIG.

The worst position for sling...Anyway not SF.
What I find incredibly silly is that the guy making the procurements went for pricey Team Wendy EXFIL helmets and no ballistic torso protection, whereas for the price of that helmet, the personnel could be armed with basic ballistic torso protection and indigenous ballistic helmet options, which would have been a more complete setup.
