Bangladeshi special forces are buying 5000 assault rifles from Turkey. Looks like they will also end up with better equipment than para sf in a few years. Its very smart for them to go to turkey, they essentially get a HK 416 rifle for cheap. I am assuming they are getting the MPT-55 rifle.

ah yes "bangladesh special forces". do you know how many people are in para sf?
standardisation/ modernisation isn't that easy bud. we have so many diff. units with so many people working.

What kind of an argument is this?


If you can't afford to equip all your SFs to SF standards then should you really have so many?


modernisation/standardisation is perfectly easy- Western militaries can equip 100,000s of their regular troops with standard kit. Just because India can't achieve this doesn't mean it's an impossible task.

Your talking about our men preferring ak as if we have a large collection of gucci firearms like HK416,giessele m4s and our men avoid them to get AKs 😂 what other option do they have than insas that has been so " unreliable "earlier on ,or bullpup Tavors that also had an earlier issue on reliability and precision but because its israeli we don't discuss it? You cant be choosers if all you have are some rusty aks

Also this, all the arguments on Standardisation ends up on poor leadership mismanagement of funds, corruption

Yup,we have old 90s ak that will rust
There are weapons from WW2 which don't rust with proper maintenance and daily cleaning. How old a weapon is has no bearing on whether it will rust or not. Even MGs, Insas, Grease guns kept outside officer's mess halls aren't rusted due to daily cleaning and you are talking about rusting of service weapons.

Opening up of Parliamentary hearings to the media like Congressional hearings should be done. Public should know why SF doesn't have proper equipment and where the allocated funds are going.

That will happen once senior army officials accept that the equipment level provided is substandard in the first place if you hear interviews of some ex indian army officers(barring a few) the narrative thrown is either that we are sufficiently equipped or we dont need such equipment in the first place ( I dont mean to disrespect them)

I would agree if the situation was not so unusual in India. CRPF is not your usual police unit though, is it? They are fighting naxal guerrillas, their nature makes them militarized enough to have their own commando force. Like the Colombians, they also have militarized police units fighting commie guerrilla groups and what not and they too have a commando unit within their "police" force.
Yeah, that's the literal run-through of what makes a para-military force. They are not commandos. They are neither equipped nor trained to that level to be considered commandos.

I'm pretty sure that Armasen is set on becoming the Agilite of India . But its a relief that unlike many other firms, this company is set on for making India somewhat self-reliant , its prime aim is towards local customers rather than foreigners . Unlike MKU , which aims for a more dominant foreign market and responds only to big local orders. Also have moderators and senior members thought of asking Vinayak Sen sir to join DFI , like we did for Vivek Krishnan sir . I think he thinks on a similar level to the members
