Eggcellent camo.
But Why kneepad awkwardly placed

View attachment 81071
That's the issue with old knee pads & elbow pads. They keep changing position while running.

That's why some soldiers prefer only one they are comfortable with, because another one irritates if the position is changed.

Notice 3rd guy from left
Some soldiers just keep it down once op is over

New integrated pads don't offer as much protection as these but they are surely more comfortable.
But again there are some soldiers who prefer nothing even if they have both options available.

I don't know where else to ask and this might come off as a silly question.

Can't we use our SF personnel (ideally) to counter the psy ops and riots organized on daily basis? If we have the Intel, shouldn't we use our SF to remove these individuals causing the threats to the nation? Or is this too violent for a democracy?

Apparently china uses its SF to create division among groups fighting for HK democracy or those who speak out against ccp. Pakis also do the same in Kashmir and now in KL, Bengal etc.

If we do not want to deploy our SF abroad, at least we can use them to protect our own lands, right?

In the North-East?????
Or Valley

I don't think we do that in core areas
The MSS does that extensively in HK
And the recent musings in Russia
Edit: Americans shaping public opinion during cold war
I donno exactly whether Indians do that, there maybe intelligence gathering (the recent khalistani stuff) but honestly I donno

I believe @12arya meant something else
Like shaping opinion and creating divides within internal enemies

I meant can't we do that in Delhi or Bangalore or in Kerala or Bengal; why do we need to wait till a state goes completely rogue like Kashmir did in the '90s? I mean why r are we having riots in Delhi almost every month? why do we have to tolerate scums like tikayat? why didn't we use our SF expertise during the Delhi riots? How many lives cud have been saved?

ya exactly.

Why do we have to limit these ops to borders when we have internal enemies everywhere! Look at my state Kerala; can go, rogue, if not for RSS and a few good cops! why can't we employ SF personnel in these states for intel gathering and if needed take action?

My question is, is this kind of SF deployment possible?

You mean, the government uses members of the SF as agent provocateur to derail a protest, etc...?
