If this actually happens you'd be a celebrity within the online defence circle/forums of india.

Man CQB is fucking scary

US is moving past the razzle dazzle Battle Drill 6 emphasis.
The new phrase among soldiers is "Don't do BD6 if you can do BDA".

Recent induction of M10 Booker is for exactly that purpose.

Send a 105mm shell through the window instead of soldiers through the door.
They even classified M10 Booker as a somewhat new category called "Mobile Protected Firepower" so commanders won't try to use them like a tank (M1128 Stryker MGS was meant to do the same thing somewhat except the crewmen AND the higher ups would try to play War Thunder with it and send it up against MBTs).

US is reading the room (no pun intended). It realizes that sending a million dollar soldier through the door just for a couple of soldiers is wasteful. These things can work against jihadis in Afghanistan but would fail against other organized infantry units.

Even in the Rus-Ukr war, the video of "room clearing" are rare (except from the international legion with lots of Ex NATO COIN guys and that one trench raid by Ukrainian SOFs).
Generally, it mostly devolves into playing hot potato with nades till the other side eats it.
That or armor suppresses or blasts infantry to smithereens.

Lets be honest, this overemphasis on Battle Drill 6 was cool and sexy and aesthetic but without the element of surprise, it's a death sentence.
It worked when soldiers were rolling up sleeper cells and undisciplined terrorists who couldn't reliably place a sentry who wouldn't fall asleep mid watch but it's not going to work against VDV or KORD.
Or any infantry worth it's salt.

In that way, our tactic reigns supreme.

Man compare this to the days when NSG had to wait hours for someone to track down a IL-76 (and a fking neta)

rigging in the air+ navy’s linkage is impressive here as is the fact that MARCOs were ready to go having already briefed- fast reaction is definitely not something the Indian military has historically displayed

hope some sense is finally knocked into the heads of the top echelons to make SOD what it was always meant to be- a baby step to the full SOCOM

The almighty has spoken... very much spot on. Recently, in Israel, several SOF units were facing a very funky scenario wherein the hamas' militants were using heavy MGs/LMG assortments in underground tunnels' T junctions, this tactic inflicted a whole lot of casualities on the israeli units. 90% of CQB videos on youtube instagram are just marketing strategy and are aimed at the civillian market.

Wake up Honey new SF content just dropped

Still hate how they got PC from olive planet ( that's what I feel they are from) but No damn plates it looks very silly without plates @airborneCommando what units although HCBL are becoming very common now so that good to see atleast

Some clips are from 2016-19 timeframe except for the SFTS ones. Got a news that the regiment will be issued a new plate carrier (the one we saw in recent pics of 2 para) that will replace the current bulky ones, Over vests and chest rigs will be kept and used parallelly (maybe there'd be an upgrade in quality).
