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.

Each SF operator is a force multiplier, they are given familiarisation with a wide array of arms. And you think they take a new guy and put him straight onto a DMR/Sniper? Every operator starts as a shooter and has to be proficient with an assault rifle.

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...

No, the article mentions he is CO of 9 Para sf, so he won't be deputed to SFF. It may be for services through out his career or maybe of what I heard, the Para Sf with LS, traced the path which the army used to gain heights of the northern bank. I am not sure if the latter is true.
A large team of 9 was indeed posted there but the team basically was on standby and did not take part in any missions.

None, and if these are the only option the x95 might do the job. I like the ARAD alot more but they arent on offer yet.
The carmel is much more modern and modular option but no one knows what we will buy as carbine

What are laser cut ones?
Normal MOLLE:

Laser-cut:

Laser-cut is basically inverted MOLLE. Instead of vertically looping the bands on your kit through the existing horizontal bands on the MOLLE item, in laser-cut you vertically loop your kit through horizontal laser-cut slits on the item.

Laser-cut is a newer, better retention system. It can potentially weigh less, is easier to manufacture (cuts on single piece of fabric) and removes such problems as MOLLE getting snagged on terrain objects like tree branches etc. if the bands get loose.

the carmel looks really bulky and is completely unproven on the battlefield.
Honestly we should just base future small arms around the SIG716 nd Caracal 816. There are 1000s if Gunsmiths who have expertise on the base AR platforms that can be hired as consultants to continue evolving them into the future including calibre changes
