They’ll never learn.

all this “josh”attitude as gone to their heads. They think they are supermen and that fragments will bounce off their heads or that the side of the mountain will bend to their thick skulls all becuase they are “commandos” and know how to yell that very loudly.

The Indian army in reality is one of the most indisciplined disciplined forces in the Democratic world. Maybe the most.

All their discipline is reserved for the parade ground. The moment they go into operations it’s all jugaad and chalta hai.

So guys Lets Say short War is Imminent on LAC And Enemy Deployed There Ground Assets & Air Assets
Kindly Lay Out What Are Probable targets & Post That Ghatak & SF units Will have In there hands To Recon & SEEK And Destroy

Units And Weapons We need For objective Beyond LAC Behind Enemy Lines

Though I am not qualified to comment on the discipline of Army soldiers, I recalled something when I read your post. I was reading Shiv Aroor's book titled "India's Most Fearless" a some years back. The only thing that was going though my mind when I was reading on some of the combat stories in which we lost SF operators was that "they could have been alive had they been wearing the requisite bullet protection jackets with ceramic inserts etc.". I mean most of the deaths in his book were from 4-5 bullets in the centre-mass area. Assuming that they had worn BPJ, the BPJ would have stopped atleast some bullets hence increasing their chances of survival. Though am a total noob when it comes to Army stuff so I could be wrong.

whats an RPD?

A Soviet LMG our jihadi neighbours have been gifting us since 90s. Most of them belong to Soviet forces in AFG. They were common in the earlier days of insurgency.

 

[Unknowncommando 2]

From north east? It has to be north east.

Poonch
They are calling it a PKM which is wrong

Did any unit makes use of these captured Rpds and Rpg7s? Saw Para SF with an RPD some time back in 2000s.Btw dont think these belonged to Soviet forces as Soviets had replaced it with Rpk and Rpk74s in 70s.Most probably copies supplied by Chinese to Mujahids.

Yes i was quoting this one.Did anyone else makes use of such captured weapons? Btw SF could have made use of sawn off RPDs just like US SF had done in Vietnam for behind enemy lines ops.Also compared with Carl Gustavs RPG-7s were more handier for Crpf Cobras and Ghatak units as they engage themselves in LRRP ops.

Why No Combat Helmets ??

I can understand Weight Of BPJ But No Ballistic helmets

Indian army need this kind strictness For NCO & JCO

Have you ever been to real High Altitude areas ... ??
Metal object on your head ??? and BPJ in front of your chest . where touching even a a small metal object may result in your fingers being chopped off..
You must be kidding ... right. I for one will never put it. Terrain is bigger enemy there than the enemy itself.

There is a metal wire inserted on Indian coat Parka hoods to provide shape to the hood...
That small metal piece in spite of eing insulated has been the reasons of many soldiers death due to lightening in those mountains.. which is so frequent and often. specially when static electricity produced by the woolens the soldiers put on is always present around the body.....

Neither combat helmet and plate carrier have metal in them though

The red tape and delay in procuring specialised firepower from the United States

The elite Special Force units have resorted to stripping de-commissioned battle tanks or using weapons recovered from militants in the absence of the equipment to be procured from the US.

Those grenade launchers will come in so handy. But I am damn sure, that PLAGF will place snipers at peaks. I hope IA has some plans for it.

S400 batteries, SRBMs sites. The terrain is the very advantage to SFF units and para. However, I am not sure how we halo drop them, considering C130Js would be picked up on radars.

Or, we deliberately want them to be picked up on radar, question, how many KM does a average special forces unit covers at full load?
