SAS I highly highly doubt. From what I heard there is a blanket no go from outside and SAS since the Foriegner kidnapping case in Jk in the 90s. Bad blood between our SF/military and SAS was also developed to a degree.

Though thorough the 70s/80s relationship with SAS was very close. Indira/Thatcher time
what happened? Why the bad blood?

We actually have a lot of operators with the seal trident,
It's given to anyone who clears the BUD/S
The Marcos may have an upper hand because they already finished their probation and Training

No they don't. Again don't let the PR fool you, those quad nods will never see the light of day, in fact i'd be surprised if those have even been purchased and not just borrowed from Tonbo.
They bought them from TONBO. They have much better gear almost comparable to some Tier 2 SOF than Para SF.


Possibly bought in December, 2020


Meanwhile Para SF can wear black kapda head rag, palm frond uniforms with AK and run through flaming hoops screaming 'Commando'

Buying a single piece or couple or even a dozen didn't mean in a fortnight they are jn a whole another league. All we had seen is only few kits that as part of PR stunt.

TONBO doesn't sell less than a couple dozen to 100 at a time. There is something called scale of production.

Please go and ask active PARA SF operators and veterans like @AVINASH4061 Sir if they would like to have gear like this :

Instead of this :



BTW this is CRPF QAT from a few years ago :



Even PARA Airborne are starting to get better gear :



This is the most 'TACTICOOL' image of PARA SF aka our Tier 1 SF unit :

Something somewhere is horribly wrong in terms of priorities.

Army started buying armasen tacticals vest but at individual level this is the problem
Army haven't started buying
Any Armasen gear outside central and state police are bought by officers using their own funds

Right now the country is going through multiple crises at once. Don't expect significant improvement for a while.
