Daily dose of reality, US and U.K. SF members of task force black (mid-00s)
All of their equipment is still significantly ahead of what any Indian SF unit is using in 2022. Main point though is looking at how ‘squared away’ these guys are-everything Has a purpose on their person. Can also trace the development of high speed gear from the days (improved LADs, high cuts because of COMTACs, improved uppers and suppressors for their rifles, battle belts, integrated knee pads etc) meanwhile Indian SF are only aping what they see these top units doing- high cuts without COMTACs makes what sense? New PCs but square cut not shooting cut? Etc)
Expanding SF battalions is only going to further dilute competencies and efforts to modernise
