I was going through old india today archives and found that during early 90s infiltrators were killed in numbers of 50s, 60s on an average along LoC.Cant imagine the level of warfare armed forces had to put up to contain the influx of militants, it was literally a war zone out there.

Because either no funding or the import and domestic production factions fighting each other, and this fighting delays procurements

A few things you need to know. Included in the latest emergency procurement of the Indian Army were SCAR rifles, Mk48 LMGs and 4 tube NVGs. The Para SF have already started to operate high cut helmets as seen in the pic. Also, new plate carriers have also started to be inducted in large numbers featuring molle attachment system. As for Comms, the personnel use in ear earphones connected to radio handsets with push to talk capability. If you meant ear pro, that is the one thing that the Para SF dont use.

The said plate carriers:

Another new piece of kit that I'm noticing are PEQ boxes on the siderails of the M4. What we can infer from this is that Para SF has shifted from using visible laser to IR Laser modules. IR Laser is not visible through Thermal Sights such as the Tonbo Arjun Thermal Sights that are being purchased as a combo with the EXFIL high cut helmets. So I feel like, we are definitely not aware of all the NVG devices in service with the Para SF.

Are they planning to replace the HK MP5?

Not replace, more like supplement.

I still now don't understand why afsod chief is not making any demands for modernisation of special force or government is not listening to him
Because I feel modernisation of special forces is need of the hour as future wars will depend on it also.

Not sure about that, but SAG, SRG & SCG all of them are getting MPX in limited numbers as of now. NSG 2019-20 procurement plan has additional MP5 & it's accessories mentioned. So I doubt the replacement.

Why don't they use ballistic plate body armour?

Why don't they use ballistic plate body armour?

The vests have a ballistic sleeve insert that carries ballistic plates.

The thing is that even if the AFSOD chief is making demands and infact modernising, I'm not sure we'd come to know. So it would be wrong to make such assumptions. Moreover the latest procurement report that I uploaded a few replies back, point towards a procurement by AFSOD because the number of the equipment's are way too short to suffice for Para SF needs.
