also bro, navy and air force recognize their SF s separate entities and gives them the respect they deserve.I think Navy and IAF have put a bit of money for their decent gear for their SF as compared to Army.
army treats SF as super infantry and believes all paratroopers r equally capable as SF personnel and that shows the mentality of the para & senior army officers
the below article and some of the comments by airborne officers will boil ur blood! horrible stuff.
Equating Airborne Forces with Special Forces
It was amusing to watch a recent program on Lok Sabha TV on Army’s Special Forces with not one of the veteran military panelists having served even for a single day in a Special Forces unit. Reminded one of the now infamous Track II recommending withdrawal fr

we all saw that video of 9's maj. jacob and the amount of time he spent in field without break; which paratrooper does that or has the training to do that? the more i read it drives me mad.
also, its not just abt the medal or allowances but the weapons and resources meant for SF was cunningly diverted to Paratroopers- there was an in depth study article written by Lt. Gen.Lidder in 2009 or something lamenting how SF was screwed ovr by paratroopers.
2 day back i read an article from 2016 by Lt. Gen. Katoch abt the need for separate SF regiment...the abuse directed at the gud general from para retd officers in the comment section, was unparalleled!
they mindbogglingly claim that SF and para has same capabilities so no need for different regiment.also, that airborne is also special in nature, so they shud be included in SOCOM! just look at the mentality!
see, wat the above dude is claiming! those dudes also call the lt. general an almighty irritant and trouble maker evn when he was serving, trying to cut off SF from Para and wat not, among Katoch's multitude of crimes
this from another para officer
Until paratroopers r prevented from trying to screw SF, army SF is not gonna improve wen it comes to its resources! we can wail and rant all we want; the politics inside prachute regmnt luks frightening and is played at the cost of nation's capabilities.
