Garud with a Negev.

This is my friend who joined air force as an Airmen , and got into garuds , he later cleared Army SSB ( officer ) and now undergoing training for para SF.

I wasn't aware you could change service like that.

Blur his face.

He's actively serving. I understand it's trivial but don't risk it.
Misfortune strikes from the least expected routes.

The Navy leading innovation as usual.

I swear, a large Pakistan-centric naval commando unit would be so sorted under our Naval command.
Makes no sense for us to not keep a large coast hitting force considering our terminally ill neighbor has such a large coastline.

I'm not talking of a US Marine-esque island hopping force because Pakistan's islands are insignificant, too close to the land, would collapse immediately by a simple naval blockade and expecting to leapfrog the islands of China is laughably unrealistic.
Still, a naval infantry specialised to a certain degree (also capable of unloading armor, heavy artillery and holding ground) but not quite as expensive or time consuming to train as MARCOS won't hurt.

Just look at porkiland's map and tell me I'm wrong.

Bro he is trained and knows what he is doing , i won't teach a fighter pilot how to do a barrel roll when I don't even know how to fly ! Get my point ?

He may be trained in many stuff but dont expect him to be master of all.

Yep forgot to do that , but anyway bugger is far uglier than he looks on the picture

airforce person could join Army as officer and vice versa i think but navy personnel could join only navy as officers.

Except I'm not. IED initiated ambushes and heavy offensives HAVE happened in Taliban, in fact IEDs are the bread and butter of the Taliban and have been the leading cause for casualties by far.

I dint say that Taliban does not do it, i said IEDs attacks are regularly attempted on the Indian Forces, also in both the cases the sf is unlikely to be the target.

And no, Secure comms (both in tactical and operational domains) have never been a thing in the Indian military nor the SF, the IPKF is the worst example considering the operational compromise of the Jaffna raid, and the problem has persisted so far. There's still hasn't been a standardized procurement and distribution process for SDRs amongst other comms equipment

The compromise there was because of some other reason not the Comms, It was blunder with planning. secure Comms has been present for long time. A fresh order for new sdrs were placed some time back if i have to give a example.

And i don't see the contention regarding JTACs and TACPs here. The TACPs exist within the airforce to support their operations alone, my point was regarding the lack of JTAC qualified PARA SF and MARCOS personnel to coordinate CAS, or any deputations of JTAC qualified individuals in those two units.

TACP can support the regular army too there is not limit on the utilization and can vary from force to force also lack of JTAC in Marcos and Para sf is due to the fact we dont utilize AirForce in the same manner. If i take example of Usa, most of the time the Usaf CCTs are embedded with the other sof teams.

There isn't an official operational mandate (rather doctrine) of the Indian army, closest we come to is the under-developed cold start

Cold start succeeded the sundarji doctrine mate

Airforce and Navy actually has ppl educated in special equipment hence why they are leading in arms and equipping race. The Garuds and And Marcos are now light years ahead of Para SF in terms of tech and equipment, I'd say the Garuds are on parr with Marcos since both of them now have better bpj's and high cuts with NVG

I would argue, its them having the right people who are in authority to make the call, they have more autonomy in their Respective branches compared their counterparts in Army.

Marcos seems to be ahead of Garuds strictly my opinion. Marcos have started to deploy Utility Belts, High Cuts in higher numbers, PVS-31s in Higher Numbers. Garuds and Marcos both have quality BPJs for some good time now.
