The highcut helmets (team wendy) cost around 1200 dollars, so if we can buy them I don't think buying the comtacs would have been an issue. Moreover wasn't there an old pic which showed SG/NSG in a firing range with comtacs.
I think by mess ye means they are make the team inefficient with traffic in their ear. This is just a function of limited training wjtb the new kit. Unfortunately it's not plug and play.
Oye propaganda mat Kiya Kar
Perhaps but like you said this is a failure of training, if they can’t see the value of enhanced operator-operator communication then more fool them. I’d be surprised to learn this though as experiences in JK should have given them sufficient exposure to that, NSG and SPG have had an operator communication policy for a while now
Plate carriers and badges seem to becoming quite common with NSG now, it seems also that they have increasingly abandoned the chest mounted pistol holsters for drop leg holsters (and hip too) but this trend of having the holster at the front of the thigh (I’ve seen it with Garuds and PARA SF too) just seems asinine and offers no benefits for some very obvious cons.
I agree found the positioning of the holster a bit weird, I guess the waist is the ideal place for a holster, drawing speed of the pistol can sometimes be the difference between life and death. Hope I can see para sf with this kind of gear and most importantly UNIFORMITY
By mess means in a CICT ops where you need quick reaction you can’t rely on super high tech weapons. These things are for special ops not CICT.
Why was Para involved? As opposed to an infantry unit..
The integrated headsets he is talking about is those awkward single ear ones imo... Not COMTACS like 3M Peltor.
the 4 para sf was suppourting the 5 ladakh scouts
In what? What warranted use of SF? And afaik, 4 Para don't operate along LAC. They are affiliated to the Northern command, and do their thing along LoC. If Para SF is mobilized there at all, it'll be the 1st or 2nd Para with the 50th Independent Parachute brigade. Or maybe 3rd.
Don't think so, cause the single ear is seen with the regular troops as well, so it wouldn't be present in limited quantity with the SF. I guess the single ear ones are for regular ops and 3M types are for ops which are more tough/secret maybe
Buddy if you believe that nonsense then you’re only deluding yourself.
They were mobilised there from depth areas to support 5 ladakh scouts who had been tasked to use force against the Chinese, but after the planning and all the talks started to give some positive outcomes and hence it wasn't executed
Why would 1st or 3rd be use, 1st specialise in urban warfare and 3rd in desert warfare. 2,4,9 are mainly for high altitude warfare. Of the three any can be used based on a variety of factors
That argument is 20 years too old. As of right now, the 50th Brigade is in Ladakh, supporting 14th corps (i.e. they are on standby). No one specialises in a particular geographic location anymore. They are deployed in specific theaters is all.
Support in what exactly?
How do I know, had the operation been carried out then probably it would have been known. Of what I understand, it may have been possible that PLA would have had it's SF somewhere near the place where its regulars were holding position. So if a fight breaks out and PLA brings in their SF we should have ours. Or maybe just, we have a resource available, why not keep it ready.
How do you know that 50th parachute brigade is in Ladakh right now, or is it because of the LAC situation.
