I meant from a ORBAT perspective. Not capability perspective. SFF is to Paras what Rangers is to the 82nd in a loose sense.I don’t agree in any way that Ranger Regmt is comparable to SFF
Why doesn't Para SF go for the UZI pro?
Hmmm I'm not too sure about that either. 82nd has there own pathfinders and aren't under SOCOM, Rangers are SFs in their own right. SFF-Ragner comparison just doesn't add up for me.I meant from a ORBAT perspective. Not capability perspective. SFF is to Paras what Rangers is to the 82nd in a loose sense.
I mean there's a few isolated cases of this (which I guess makes sense as they are outside of the Army HQ babudom) but it's not a universal rule. Their equipment standards today are about on par with a Ghatak platoon deployed on the LoC.They have been at the forefront of testing new specialized kit that laters get distributed to the wider army.
This I HIGHLY doubt, I've actually spoken to a couple of Paras privately and asked them specifically about SFF and they have never had any cross training with them so there's no battle plans that exist for SFFs to be used in that role nor would they seem to be needed for that as Paras have their own pathfinder companies in the battalions furthermore what little opinion the Paras did have of SFF were not glowing.Their mission tasking will go miles ahead of what the Paras will be tasked to do or ghataks. They will be our pathfinders if ever the border goes pound.
Now that is interesting, these are the 'big boys'- 51 SAG, I always wondered if they were present during these events as usually when you see NSG deployed during R-Day it is SRG and they are there to act as a CAT, 51 SAG are, I guess, forward deployed in case of a hostage situation.NSG providing security during last year's R-Day Parade
For a second I thought why does he have a suppressor that just put out a 1,000-round mag dump.
NSGWhich unit?
, I meant SAG or SRG or something else
