Fab mod Ak is mostly used by RR and frontline troops. But yes Paras do they have them, but prefer Tavors and to some extent M4s.
Even State Police QRT & specialised teams. CAPFs have minor FAB mods on Arsenals like adjustable butt, etc. Paras love FAB mod AKs & they were among first to receive them!

You can’t make it up!

QAT didn’t even exist 4 years ago and is now on par with and in many crucial areas AHEAD of India’s most elite military units


so keep telling me how Indian ultra superhuman soldiers don’t need modern kit, clearly the senior officers of CRPF don’t agree

this is a clear indication that there’s something deeply deeply wrong inside the MoD and the way SFs are treated and outfitted. And specifically the PARA (SF) are the worst treated when it comes to this

What boggles my mind is that this is actually tolerated, a SF commander turns up at an op site and sees that his elite warriors are outfitted on par with or actually behind not just RR but now CRPF! What is that going to do to that team’s moral?

a failure at every freaking level

CRPF have understood the relevance of force multipliers and night fighting but the hardened SFs have been in the fight for decades and still running around night blind?

absolute kudos to CRPF and the IPS officers that have been entrusted with raising this unit in JK,for decades CAPFs had to endure the ridicule from service members and there’s constant bashing of the IPS cadre but in a matter of years they’ve been able to deliver what battle hardened macho army officers never could.


some people need to hang for this

It's due to political and bureaucratic leadership of MHA .

There seems to be more devolved powers inside the MHA and in recent years a significant push to modernise but by targeting specific capabilities and not just creating long winded white papers

Dare I say it too that there’s a lot more dynamism and innovative thinking coming from the modern generation of IPS officers and particularly those that serve in CAPFs than you’ll find in the average MoD unit.

I just think that the MHA/CAPFs don’t burden themselves with the weight of tradition as much as the armed forces do. In the armed forces how things have been done for decades if not centuries is how they still do them today, CAPFs at a senior level mostly just want to get things done.
