The fact that we already have strong intel of where these cunts come from, their handlers, their names and their whearabouts but no action is taken.
Indian intel could probably tell you what colour Dawood’s bowel movements are.

this stuff is all political

9 years after making every effort to de-hyphenate from and Isolate Pakistan these clowns are still happy to keep taking these wounds simply because they don’t want to upset daddy USA? Nationalists my backside

I 100% believe Indian army and (ch)air force officers have poor knowledge, education and training.
There is no knowledge of latest tactics even, let alone equipment.

This is created by a culture of zero accountability. Soldiers are worshipped and even shameful defeats are turned into 'they fought like lions against hyenas'

Then 10 years later somebody reveals that no, they did not fight like lions. The rifles jammed, the officer who was in the first jeep like Hrithik in Lakshya was shot first and the jawans ran around like headless
chickens until they were shot as well.

Proof is in the pudding. They probably copy specifications from Jane's to create acquisition requirements.
This is why I hate the worship culture- 'best ofthe best saar, we defeat USAF in excercise saar, bisleri boys saar'

The navy is a shining lone star in the darkness.

You'll have to take a hard look at the quality of officers we are getting in the armed forces. On the one hand you have cadets from West Point being awarded the Rhodes Scholarship to study at Oxford and on the other hand you have several SSC army officers displaying their dismal marks in class 10 and 12 board exams on Instagram. We see so many professionals around us studying, undergoing training in their respective fields. Autonomous learners and life long learners who know the technicalities of their respective disciplines. Are our infantry and special forces officers passionate about their respective fields, do they keep up-breast with the latest developments in tactics and weapons taking place around the world? learning reinforces our passion.

Green Hunt was made a success by IPS like K. Vijay Kumar only. If Job of catching Veerappan was given to our Jernails, he would have ran and set up a breakaway republic in Kerala Jungles and our jernails would be advising GOI to do chai-biskoot with him.
Naxal insurgency did not begin in recent times,it has been there since the 60's.

The movement was crushed and decimated for the first time by the Indian Army soon after the 1971 war under the leadership of Gen JRF Jacob and Gen Sam Manekshaw. Unfortunately, the government did not do anything for the socio-economic development resulting in a resurgence in the 90's.

The Army crushed the Kashmir insurgency, once a massive volcano with 10,000-20,000 insurgents into a very manageable low-level insurgency that it is today, all of that with nothing more than an SLR rifle and no fancy MPV's ,drones,cutting edge night vision equipment.
Insurgents of those times were not some local rookies like we see today, they were all well-seasoned insurgents from other countries, Afghan war Vetrans and Pakistanis with combat experience and training at military bases.All of this at a time when the Army had just come out of a brutal conflict in Sri Lanka and a facing raging insurgency in North East.

Imagine what would have happened had the charge been handed over to the CAPFs.

Battling insurgencies is a thing that cannot be taught in class through power point presentations. This requires a lot of on-field experience which the IPS cadres don't have.

People just a thought, could the Para team have used Black Hornets to survey the route ahead before advancing? Could that have helped in any way? Given how small and nimble it is, the drone looks operable under dense foliage canopies. thanks.

It's not physically possible for an operator to avoid obstacles like foliage and tree branches while flying the drone. There is technology that exists in the form of AI enabled drones that can avoid obstacles on their own but afaik, Indian Army doesn't have it. And yeah, some kind of aerial surveillance with thermal cameras could have given the Para SF Team a definite upper hand and could have allowed for a more robust plan of action.
There were plenty of better ways to have gone about this op. But obviously, the overconfident non-Bisleri boys that they are, they chose to go gungho on this op and then found out the price for that the hard way.

I mean since they don't wear helmets, they could repurpose that money to buy some Hornet type drone with FLIR. It just struck me and can't stop thinking about the fact that a proper drone recon could have changed the outcome.

It's always curious how NSG avoided the tavor and x95 series even when literally every indian unit from all three special forces to police SWAT teams buying them.
Most units worldwide are reverting back to AR style rifles, and dumping the alternatives like tavors or F2000's or even SCAR L's. Indian SF will follow suit if they aren't already in the process.

More suitable in an urban environment
Not plausible to cover a large area

Better foliage penetrating sensors are in the market, flying far above and seeing much more
