Yeah MARCOs loaned them pretty much everything but their Gen 1 Tavors- PCs, helmets and even floatation devices.

Remember how everyone said Paras are the OG SF in india? Having to borrow from a sister branch just this basic stuff is a new low

This is probably the first time we came to know about this. It could always be that they are using reputed AR15 manufacturing for parts and stamping them with glock logo. Like alot of ARs in US use radian charging handles.
I see buddy well it does look good

Bhai, they probably bought those plate carriers ina a hurry for the show and forgot the helmets. They didnt even bother buying the ballistic plates. Ab me kya bolu...
Based on the location of this Defexpo it looks like it’s 3 or 10 Para SF who’ve been seen with this PC (Olive Planet Shooters Cut PC) before, so it’s unlikely they have bought it jsut for this demo. I think they haven’t taken this demo seriously at all hence no plates mounted. The helmet scene is inexcusable though.

Oof, second hand embarrassment for those Paras. They go through all the cr@p of selection/training and then this is what they have to work with? What a waste of talent.

Haven’t taken it seriously? What kind of an excuse is this? Are they circus clowns or are they military professionals? And what ever happened to unit prestige?

Paras are so broken at this point

The IA hadn't had enough to spend on the existing SF, that they still thought it necessary to convert the entire Parachute Regiment into SF.
Just Wowww!
So let me sumarize it, in the beginning we had three Para Airborne units, two Para Commando Units. The CO of 1 Para Lt Gen Inderjit Singh was involved in Op Harling as a part of British SOE, amazing operation - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Harling
He also oversaw, 9 and 10 Para Cdo ops as director of Military Operations in the 1971 Indo-Pak War.
Having the most solid background for SF, he asked his unit to become an experimental SF unit. 1 Para SF was modeled on 22 SAS and 9 and 10 were kept updated about it's progress but were still commando units.
But since then, Parachute regiment officers continuously wanted conversations of their battalions. 2, 3 and 4 became SF as well. Then new infantry battalions got converted into Para, later they also wanted to be SF. And now we have this where infantry battalions keep getting Para Airborne then Para SF status.
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Bale, Bale, Bale, Bale, Jai Ho
