Again, photoshoots.

 

[Phantom sierra]

the paras hate helmets for some reason.

I guess because it is uncomfortable fighting with a brick on your head in a humid jungle or in mountains. Most of them wear it during FIBUA ops though atleast from what I have seen in pictures.

This is the average Garud in Kashmir or at an airbase. They are underequipped as hell.

The pics we have seen of Garuds in Kashmir show they are the best equipped SF unit operating there followed closely by MARCOs

 

[abingdonboy]

The most elite soldiers in the Indian army but still outclassed by CRPF special units, I wonder how that feels.

what a surreal situation.

Beg to differ. Marcos have the better plate carriers and more importantly, comms equipment. Either way, I say that the Nagrota spec ops guys (army most likely) are the best equipped...

It is shameful. Not the outclassed part, but the fact that they do not have the bare necessities.

But those plate carriers are lit. Only laser cut MOLLE ones I've seen in Indian service. Be great if these became standard issue.

Like the joke goes...

They are a non technical branch..they dont need helmets hahaha

It can be.... Pata had same pc but their pouches sucked.... This time it's just lit ..

 

[Automatic Kalashnikov]

Why would an assault team person train with a dmr?

Para don't have any PCs with laser cut MOLLE. I've only seen Garuds with those.

I got to know somewhere these plate carriers are going to be future standard issue of para sf.... Is this what any other sf of world use.... If its good then I don't have any problem.... But if they aren't which I think so is tru.... Then why a country with world's 6th largest econom can't provide plate carrier like other standard special forces to its operators.... I read para's strength is around 10k then what the fuck is the problem is in giving them personal protection equipment.... Other thinga are there... But why do we only lack in this.... Babus take bribes more than the cost of 10k plate carriers in just one defence deal.... Fuck man...

Slight correction
Para strength is around 6500 to 7500.
Everything else u said is right.

Unknowncommando has posted pics of Para with molle pc

 

[Automatic Kalashnikov]

Anyone has more pics of the armasen sf RIG in use with the forces?

 

[abingdonboy]

Garuds, who are supposed to be combat controllers don't even have individual radios.

I'm not sure how you got that impression, for real world ops they do

Either way, I say that the Nagrota spec ops guys (army most likely) are the best equipped...

One company in one battalion doesn't change the general impression that PARA (SF) are just pathetically outfitted in the field

I'm yet to see a GARUD in Kashmir without weapon sights and a ballistic helmet, still yet to see weapon sights on any LMG the PARA (SF) have used in the field.

Why would an assault team person train with a dmr?

Why wouldn't they? In SF teams each member has a speciality

I have seen pics of him with tavor, dmr and ig a M4 as well. Why would someone train with both, either he would be an assaulter or a dmr operative.
