Indian Special Forces

[AVINASH4061]

@AVINASH4061 @Nightshade1992. We have been conducting joint exercises with USSOCOM, and other special forces as well, so what are the outcomes of these. Of late we have seen highcut EXFIL helmets not only with special forces but also with regulars. So why is the top leadership hesitant in by ear pro comtacs which cost less than these helmets yet increase situational awareness.

Btw @Nightshade1992, sir are you Major Abhinandan?

You know who takes the decision for procurement? It's much above my pay grade to comment.

@AVINASH4061 Sir, do you have any good hopes that the AFSOD will address the equipment short fall in SF and result in a change in tasking for SF - from COIN/Cross-border raids to HVT hunt/kill and other strategic objectives ?

 

[Killbot]

I remember Major Jacob, we’re the effin best in the world, we are best.


Sir leave such disheartening revelations that we don’t have basic SF gear. Please share how many Porkistani tangos you have roasted till date.

Dude, seriously.. I don't mean to speak for a soldier, but IA is a professional service. Don't expect them to boast about operational details and violate opsec. That is the last thing we need.

No data regarding the ops in particular shall be brought out. You might ask me things related to weapon, skills and tactics.

Adding to this, sir, what is your view on AFSOD overall? Is it a stepping stone to an INSOCOM or just a separate unit (tri service SMU)? What would be ideal?

@AVINASH4061

It's only the beginning of a novel concept in this country. Remember what I said- Tasking, organisation and then equipping.

भारतीय सेना में की जाएगी 1 लाख सैनिकों की कटौती, CDS General Bipin Rawat ने कही ये बड़ी बात

भारतीय सेना खुद को ज्यादा आधुनिक और ज्यादा कारगर बनाने की तैयारी में है. भारतीय सेना में अगले कुछ सालों में एक लाख सैनिकों की कटौती की जाएगी और उससे होने वाली बचत का इस्तेमाल सेना को नई तकनीक देने के लिए किया जाएगा.

Some questions I've been thinking about recently-

SMG or Rifles in urban areas?

5.56 vs 7.62?

What's a good minimum numerical superiority ratio in a firefight?

Which is the worst weapon in Para's inventory and why is it the micro uzi?

What kind of questions would you prefer not being asked?

Also, Bob Marley? Really?

I know many can be answered by googling but I want to hear your preference.

But then how come a small unit get these stuff. QAT of CRPF gets Quad nods for no reason.

What I really wanted to know is what kind of CQB system you guys employ: Limited penetration? dynamic entry? Hybrid? Oh and how frequent is urban warfare training as opposed to everything else.

Did you guys see the maj jacob interview? What are your views on that?

@AVINASH4061

Hello sir, won't ask much in the way of questions (other members are doing enough of that anyway) but will ask just one:

In SF service, which was your preferred 5.56 platform? Tavor or M4?

And a handful of reasons as to why?

Thank you in advance!

Sentence 1: we don't compare ourselves with anyone
Sentence 2: we are one of the best


Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Well to be frank that's how they should answer such questions from general public when using their official handles. You don't expect them to list all the reasons as to why & lash out on institutional lethargy do you?

How they handle such requirements & conversations internally is another matter - and one that we're unlikely to know from the outside. Unless someone who's been on the inside at a level where he's privy to such command-level discussions (and has since retired) can answer such questions openly. Like for example Lt. Gen. Prakash Katoch.
