i dont get the reason for NSG to do that Israeli thing, it is done to increase the safety since most of the soldiers in Israel are conscripts or reserves not full time soldiers while their Top Units dont do it this increases their reaction time. Also the issue with para sf is that its hard to asses what they are actually trying to do
1st Video Para SF shooting in a much better stance, 2nd Video Nsg doing something similar to that 3 Para Guy
PARA SF in the first video did the Israeli rack too

this maybe made some sense when they were using those ancient high powers but with a a glock and modern holster the risk of a ND is almost non-existent if you practice any kind of trigger discipline.

I know force one explicitly got trained on this by Israelis but not sure why other Indian forces are doing it, especially NSG who would need their sidearms ready to go in milliseconds during a urban op if they get a jam or go empty

Contrary to popular belief, Airborne troop are not loosing their job if one could pull it right, we should try to increase our airborne and decrease sf

Contrary to that belief, airborne forces have lost their percieved role of massed rear area disruption long before with the advent of A²/Ad systems. The only credible and consistent use for an airborne element is rapid mobilization to pressured fronts or holding identified key terrain that's uncontested along the axis of advance to enable the ground elements. We need a more capable and seperate Para SF that specializes in LRRP, DA and RSTAD and has the equipment, assets and training to achieve it. The airborne on the other hand should prioritize building their capabilities in mobile firepower and transportation. They're absolutely fine in their current numbers, there are very limited points along the Chinese front suitable for a massed drop to reinforce our lines, the majority of the airborne force should be prioritized against Pakistan, where mobility is far more important and plausible.

we would need much more Airborne battalions, sf is a different topic. There is a lot of room to surprise Chinese near ladakh since there are lot of black spots for infil. On Pak front too there are many key assets like air port where we could utilize them + they could be the only expeditionary unit of ours if needed (they have acted in the manner before the Maldives op)

Nah, we need to restructure and modernise our understanding of airborne forces. You need to look at them less like forces that can launch surprise offensives by attacking the enemy from unexpected angles and more like extremely mobile forces meant to surprise the enemy by rapidly deploying and capturing positions of operational/ strategic advantage. While there is absolutely a place for heliborne assaults, the objectives and expected utilities should be conservative and needs to be cognizant of proper avenues of approach. The last thing you wanna do is launch a heliborne assault along open avenues of approach where the enemy's MANPADs can pull a trollface on your helos and then drop them directly onto deeply positioned objectives where they can be pre-sighted and gunned down immediately or encircled and destroyed because of a lack of support like absolute morons (ie. What the Russian VDV and especially their dumbass command have been doing so far). Point is, airborne forces are situational and pretty much rely on opportunity rather than consistency. In a war there's going to be very few drops made with maybe one massed drop within relative safety and a couple of heliborne assaults every now and then, especially in mountain warfare where highly trained small units of mobile troops are far more effective than conventional troops who have extremely limited avenues of approach when on the offensive.
The airborne regiment needs a lot more helos.
