Do special forces use performance assisting drugs like Modafinil? I know the Indian Air Force uses it and it even sanctions it to its pilots. I want to understand if its used elsewhere too.
I dont know for SF but i have heard of pills used to supress fatigue and sleep deprivation in Kargil.

Also shocking was to hear cyanide being used on Commando knives.(Sub Digender singh has claimed on YouTube)

Marcos has used cyanide tipped bolts on their crossbows in the 80s

Some things are better not said in public chat rooms
Use of Modafinil is not a state secret. Many armies use Modafinil in situations where the troops may face sleep deprivation. Also these was an article in Times of India about the Indian air force pilots using Modafinil.

The medicine in question is not a secret, but the dosage given to the pilots is.
They either come in 100 mg or 200 mg .
So probably pilots take 1 200 mg tablet or even more.because one develops tolerance to it.
There is another drug , which I don't remember but it helps the pilots to sleep.
