One more prediction coming close to true, OpsCore FAST XP is going standard for SF bns.

These pics are from SFTS, anything you see in SFTS is the gear that is used by SF bns during unilateral ops/priority-1 operations.
I've recently learnt that as a rule of thumb units keep seperate kits for priority-2(support to a larger force) CI-CT operations to look like the other troops involved there.

How true/verifiable is this fact about two levels of kit being maintained?

All we need is for the right man to become COAS

Lt gen JBS Yadava, Vir Chakra, was a rather aggressive and initiative taking general. I wish he became COAS once. He had a vast experience of combat, from the 1965 till the most violent years in J and K.

The officers raised in war time in the 90s compared to the ones raised in COIN today are miles apart in their thinking.

Somewhat true for a few scenarios now-a-days but for some battalions, they have almost completely stopped using this for majority of tasks even if they are priority-II tasks. The only thing that remains is that they enjoy relaxed uniform stds.

They tried their best to keep up w/ modern day SOF standards by improvising the stuff they already had or got using Bn level funding and persuaded their respective cmds for better things aswell. Now that Army HQ is getting real stuff for them we'll see better results.
