I would hope its the former. Sorry for asking that out loud but just got off shitter and seeing so many bash the 21, disregard the veergati of Ptr Gautam Lal(hell not even many are talking abt it even in media) I am feeling so sad and anger. Lost all hope in our countrymen today and the only hope and whom that I will forever stand with is the armed forces no questions asked, no terms and conditions. You wanna the know the worst part abt it, fking rwingers/raita wingers handle are acting dishonorable and spewing venom against the army.
Those six civilians who died were Indians too, it was a huge tragedy. Taking sides wont solve anything both sides were responsible.

Army is way behind the Navy and Air force when it's comes to providing tactical equipments to soldiers. Para sf too have highcuts but numbers are not adequate, most of them still use PATKA in combat (attaching latest footage of para sf in ops, during a caso in baramulla)


I don't understand the love for PATKA even most of the GHATAK
switched back to PATKA Helmets in kashmir



ok but why Para SF is here?

MARCOs being put to use in legitimate land warfare role. Read the accounts of retired MARCOs from rhe 90s/00s, they understood their role to purely be maritime and that’s how they were treated.

hope Garuds are too being pushed into these harsh scenarios too as theatreisation and joint-service coordination is emphasised.

this is the kind of thing AFSOD/SOCOM would try to bridge

Pal, things needs to cool down as things have gone from bad to worse.

Many here are just too juvenile to understand the gravity of this unfolding crisis.

This one single incident has undone decades of goodwill achieved and hard work done by our military,political leadership and intelligence agencies.

As thing stands,the government has no options but to repeal AFSPA.

Unlike some 20 something newborn keyboard warriors who will struggle to located Nagaland,let alone MON district on the Map of India,many of us have seen how things unfolds.

Our civil and military leadership worked extra hard to bring a largely disgruntled population to mainstream.
So much goodwill and trust that was earned got washed away with just one incident.

Yea a truck of civies of coal miners who were carrying hunting rifles. And do tell me which country is fighting insurgency in their own land? When it comes to fighting terrorism there is no legal procedure to be followed. It's like saying if a guy came at u with a machete then u won't defend yourself by using anything at your disposal but u will go to a court of law for justice provided u are still alive. AFSPA gives full power to armed forces to carry out search and arrest without any legal proceedings. What u want the army to go to a terrorist hideout and kindly ask them to follow legal procedure to arrest him? Yea right dude whatever.
Ya'll Nibbiars if AFSPA was such a issue then in would have Been a main topic of election in the NE. But after seen how that Anti AFSPA activist lost the election with single digit votes hardly it's a issue there. As shown again and again how IA is restrain's when using this special cases.

They do that because they accept it, our political leadership aint gonna accept any gift or aid. Comming to training i dont think we should train the way US SF does they are mostly focused on HVT Raids after their GWOT and alot of emphasis goes on CQB which 1 Para might find useful others wont.
US SOF conducts SEAD, FID and other ops by and large, CQB is an integral part of training for any special forces unit

They do but after the GWOT they completely changed the focus both in Afghanistan and Iraq. They became focused on HVT Raids which were either in Compounds or Caves. Ofc they will train but the need dictate for what they will be training more.

Please keep this as an SF thread, guess time for a separate AFPSA thread.
FYI AFSPA Whole of North East.
Assam, Manipur(Imphal Municipal in not under AFSPA) and Nagaland covered, Arunachal Pradesh some district and police stations, Meghalaya NO, Tripura NO, Mizoram NO, Sikkim NO
Ya'll Nibbiars only hope this doesn't becomes a Witch Hunts.

Don't our guys(the SF) raid terrorist hideouts in Kashmir which are generally houses located in desolate places?

Kashmir is a mess anyone raids the houses or blows it up. Any way our SFs priority is never gonna be CI/CT jobs. Pakistan ka ata pata nahi sale kab aajaye.
