Hello, sir I see you've been engaging a lot of members with great answers - must say it's great to have an actual SF member here.

I have another question & would love your thoughts on it - what would you say regarding the state of night-fighting capabilities & required equipment with our SFs (and units like Rashtriya Rifles)?

From what I can gather - units like RR when they establish cordons around suspected terrorist hideouts at night, they have to sit & wait for daybreak before commencing operations to decide their fate. At least part of this must be attributed to a shortage of modern night-vision devices in sufficient quantities, no?

I understand that modern NVGs are expensive things and we may not be able to afford to issue an advanced pair for each & every Infatryman, however care must be taken to make sure at least the elite few (to include units like RR which are almost constantly engaged in CI/CT in sensitive areas) are sufficiently equipped with modern binocular NVGs.

From what I've heard Western SOF units (to include larger-scale movements with Rangers etc.) in regions like Afg almost exclusively operate at night whenever the situation allows them to, in order to maximize their advantage with NVGs and make it extremely difficult for opposing force to counter their movements or assaults.

Would like you to say a few words regarding state of Night-fighting equipment in your service - and also regarding where you would like things to go from here (domestic companies like Tonbo Imaging are coming up with some great products).

Like before, thanks in advance!

Ya'll Nibbiar I will drop into this many members are saying current budget is sufficient and only needs Atmanirbhar. And but i will say this current budget is insufficient and needs to increase. Even how many reasons you bring reduces the forces or domestic production still the answer would be same. Current budget is insufficient. Simply state current budget is insufficient even to modernise and equipped all the elite's unit's. Leave the Regular infantry. And when you have SF forces even lacking this then what can be thought about other unit's.

Ya'll Nibbiars I will explains some members thoughts.

No we can't trust army generals with the administration works. We still needs MoD babua. We will critize's them but we will still believe them blindly. But not generals because they will turns us into Pakistan. Wa re wah what a confidence in the senior military leadership. And when I talked about Milbus everyone was after me like I am committing some kind of crime. :truestory:

We are highly inadequate in terms of Night Sights. SF is just ok, where as other fighting units are almost night blind. Again thanks to the priorities set by the hierarchy, the deficit is almost impossible to fill.

5.56 definitely has better penetration and ballistic performance over longer ranges. But, what a combatant expects is to put his adversary down and render him unfit to fight with minimum shots being fired. 5.56 penetrates through the body, the wound created thus is less severe, body is high on adrenaline in these times. Therefore many a time the guy being hit esacpes, running for a few hundred metres in the hills and mountains. 7.62 that ways punches real bad, the wound ballistics is severe and the effect immediate. However I am not sure about the recoil management in the new platforms like the 203s. The 103 are only slightly better when compared to the AK 47.

Sir what about 6.8mm ??

I’m buying some for AIRSOFT :megusta:
@AVINASH4061, what is the general opinion of the Galil 7.62 Sniper? Have the Vajra Prahar exercises evoked any interest in the M110/SR-25 platform with the SF?

Ya'll Nibbiars after seeing so many wish list to equipped the SF with so many weapons and ammunition by our various highly educated and highly professional membrane's. I will also not stay behind and will recommend this on behalf of the Arvions.

An E-11 blaster rifle, the standard issue weapon.

StormTrooper_Blaster.jpg


The inner workings of blasters essentially create particle beams to pierce, melt and disintegrate targets. When the trigger is pulled, high-energy gas is excited by a power cell and converted into Plasma. This plasma is fired through collimating components in the barrel such as galven circuitry and focusing lens to emerge as a coherent energy bolt held together via magnetic bottle effect. However the bolt's inherent instability is a limiting factor in precision aiming, and it will start to lose coherence while traveling to the target as the plasma dissipates. The longer the barrel the more collimating components it can be fitted with to rectify these problems for increased range and accuracy. Prolonged use will also result in overheating the weapon, which can be counteracted by utilizing alloys with greater heat resistance, and employing heat-dispersal vents and cooling packs and compressors.

Blaster weaponry can vary the intensity of their output, generating bolts of greater destructive power but with corresponding trade-offs. For example, the DC-15 blaster rifle used by the Trooper's can blast a hole .5 m (1 ft 8 in) wide in a wall made of the fictional material ferroconcrete when set on maximum power, but doing so consumes more gas and reduces its ammunition capacity from 500 shots to 300. A more powerful blaster bolt also generates more recoil which can make it more difficult to use the weapon.

Ya'll Nibbiars kaisa laga mera Suggestion's. :troll:
