He was questioning the way soldier mounted his holster , got schooled by a veteran , peaked his achievements.
I have no interest in defending my position to anyone here. This place is as bad as Twitter with the fanboys
all I will say is you thinking you are defending these units/guys are actually doing them a huge disservice. Claiming all is well when we can all see the reality perpetuates the problem.
others learn from their mistakes, indian Units keep making the same ones
The thigh holster thing is important because it proves that these guys- India’s most elite- don’t even know the very basics of mounting, weapons handling or tactics. If every other unit on earth is doing things one way and the indian SF is doing it another is ther not maybe an eye opener? I’ve seen pictures of PARA SF putting pistols to their heads to ‘pose’ for social media pictures, this would get you disciplined in a western unit.
when I bring in the units that are unquestionably the benchmark (US SOF, SAS etc)because they have the demonstrated abilities that can be verified fanboys dismiss them as ‘dilsari boys’ or some other such nonsense because they take things seriously and actually care about the details?
I’ve come to realise this is a mindset issue- the mediocre look to find ways to find comfort in failures and dismiss the achievements the driven/successful look to learn from others and improve from failure
USN SEALS can paradrop into the Indian Ocean with all their gear to conduct a hostage rescue mission in the sea within 24 hours notice. PARA SF lose multiple operators on their home soil conducting daylight room intervention but there’s nothing to see here right? No difference in capabilities?
Again, keep living in your delusional world thinking everything is fine but then don’t be shocked or trying to come up with excuses when operational disasters like EDI or Patankot (at least NSG learns from mistakes) happen.
