Indian Special Forces

[Scramjet]

That M21 sight is used by only SG and the production has been stoppped many years before.

No sir, 9 para SF also has these (they came with Galil SARs) now mostly used as an improvised optic on Pika MGs and sometimes AKs.
I believe 4 para SF also have these.
SFF got these with their batch 0 tavor tar 21 rifles.
With that said, SG maintains extremely high level of OPSEC at any time, except for a few pics that were taken by media guys during their CI/CT phase in Insurgency affected areas(mostly kashmir)

Find nuance.

This thread would've been like 100 something pages long then

It is what it is, unfortunately.

We need people who have had experience to take podcasts, if we want something good, not people like BeerBiceps. Nothing against that guy personally, but he just doesn't know how to take interviews and ask interesting questions

I think it's kind of a mindset problem. People want to get clicks, not actually tell stories, and that is why we have videos like these:

And not like these:

And you know that Jocko's podcasts are genuine, because this guy fought in the battle of Ramadi(ex-SEAL, and led Task Force Bruiser). We need men like him to take podcasts of other active or retired personnel, that is when I think the quality of Indian content will have a sharp rise.

Would like to hear the interviews of the legendary officers of the regiments of the Kargil war; who personally went into battle and fought.

What sorta SBR? those Tavors are regular ones

Nice elbow pads and why are their plate carriers completely bare? I have a feeling this bare minimum kit only comes out during exercises.

What’s the point in non ballistic bump helmets in this setting?

all style no substance, even the Egyptians have ballistic helmets

can't get a larger PC ?

Actually the Kargil kill ratio, which was against trained soldiers btw, who were also a NATO major ally, was actually far less than 1:2 when such hill assaults were expected to incur at least a 1:5 casualty ratio.

And the means for overrunning the positions involved well coordination with the artillery, and multi-directional assaults which are praised by even US military papers. Heck, they even COMPARED Tiger Hill to Operation Anaconda, and actually even said that the Indians fought in a tougher climate and terrain.

Pakistan suffered 483 losses (accorfing to their military papers- RIP to them)
India suffered 627 killed accorfing to the National War Memorial, BUT this also includes those who were killed in COIN operations during this time period.

In B4 i get called a fanboy and people sneak-like that post which does.

Pakis suffered more than 1000 bro...In one incident 1 Mirage killed 200 plus with one bomb

the amount of times western infantry was saved by air force in theafghan war was Hillarously numerous.

So Combined Arms warfare is inferior?

speaking about the whole setup it can be deduced that their focus is more upon mobility than protection small PC , bump helmets would be lighter thus will improve mobility.

(i know this image is from a tv show)
but as you can see in this image the plate protects the most vital areas of the torso .
although it provides reduced protection area but in turn it is lighter and is more comfortable for the person to move around.

They mainly operate in desert terrain thus they are trying to keep their loadout weight to minimum as the terrain and environment is not exactly very good .

Many operators (of other countries) operating in similar environment don't wear ballistic helmets but go with hats and caps until their is an active threat or the operation demands such level of protection.

Like I said. What’s the point in the helmets then? They don’t have NODs, they aren’t parajumping , they aren’t using COMTACs etc

just to look ‘tacticool’?

Imagine being embarrassed by the Egyptians in your own backyard

at this rate PARA SF is going to have to only exercise with the SOF of South Sudan not to look hopeless

ya ,that's a valid point
but these helmets will protect them from bumps and Concussion at least without weighing a ton .

Imagine one day you notice an old woman trying to cross a very busy road and you help her . It turns out she is the army chief's mother . The chief is very impressed by you and grants you three wishes.
(Note- no budget or supply constrains .)

What three specific items would you like to procure for PARA SF and why ?
