Indian Special Forces

The early / mid 90s were extremely tough - our kill ratio was horrendous compared to Today. (We went through a slump again in the mid 2000s FYI)

As a young 13/14 year old first time i think i understood death via those funerals i went to

Actually it was bout the same (1995 saw a 7:1 kill ratio, highest and unbeaten till this day, while 1999 saw the worst kill ratio, less than 2:1):

It’s pretty much been 4:1 or 5:1 for the longest time ever

Well it didn’t get any better when they got ‘kitted up’

wtf are those leg holsters? I don’t think I’ve ever seen any as cheap and distorted looking as those things

also……..that’s a night sight being used in the day with the front cap on right? I mean do they even think about anything beyond PR pics anymore? They must enjoy being ridiculed by actual professionals

MKU Mukut, 1 of them has Rails on

 

[Aditya Ballal]

I think that's a compM4

What are you smoking bro?
That’s most definitely not an Aimpoint Comp M4. It’s a Meprolight Night Sight.

I don’t even get the point. So because Paras have killed a lot of jihadis this means they don’t need good gear?

even RR and regular units are updating quite a bit but paras are standing still. This is a cultural issue inside the Para battalions but whenever it’s pointed out this red herring is pulled out. Some seem to forget SF is meant to be a strategic asset used against peers not a CT unit used on your own borders to conduct largely police operations

To be frank for me i have lost al interest in Para "SF", i just ignore them. Chest thumping is more important to them not operational capability. Just ignore them, i would rather criticise marcos all day because i have some expectations from them.

The story of TSD is the most tragic interms of favouritism and internal politics within the army, Makes my fucking blood boil each time I hear it.

If so then we need to include the fatalities from our retaliatory strike in Balakot.

both of these are ballistic helmets mate not those bump types(Bumps are easy recognizable by their opening on the top like some skate boarding helmet or cycle helmet)

My bad I meant highcut ballastic helmets or army just thinks comtacs are not gonna happen to 3 paras

some high cuts are in use like the exfil, comtacs well i am not in the place to say that but its more of a when then if considering marcos bought around a dozen of them

Hopefully we will get more of highcuts and from Indian wenders too

Getting a uniform combat gear for PARA will be a greatest task in Indian Army History.
