Considering they have Internet nowadays, do they ever go on there and look at what other similar units around the world are doing? If you dont have plates in your "plate carrier" then whats the point? People who will justify this by saying its just for training plz stop. You train how you fight, they dont follow this simple philosophy. Scooter helmets used for para jumps, no rifle jumps etc.

Bu bu but pulling out the plates from storage, advances their expiry date. They-they expire you know. We only bring them out for actual ops haha.

man look at their setup , IDK if they are SF or not but
they have everything high power optics , good kitted out ar's , strobes , battle belts , good PCs ...

And they are not from the west and they are not exactly super rich either , they even don't have a big national threat like Pakistan or China either .

they train with western forces and have learned from them and invested upon themselves (unlike us) .
The Malaysians, Indo and Philipinos have execellent SOF capability - limitations come in power projection.
Thais as well but at the bottom. The Filipino Tier 1 unit is one of my fav SOF units - alot like GROM


Few misconceptions - the above countries are Middle Income Countries and as such multiple times richer than India. their per capita spend on the military is higher than us. India is a dirt poor country. We are a GDP per capita 2000 dollar economy - and if you remove the top 30million Indians that falls to $700 per person.

The above countries have higher basic education standards, litteracy standards which reflects in most aspects of their society.

Having smaller population sizes helps but they have enough internal strife that they took long term planning seriously.

Aligning with the Americans/West for over 30 years has obviously helped.

They equip these females will scopes, body armor, and proper uniforms but don’t even give out SF basic helmets and night fighting capabilities. Jai Ho. naya Hindustan!

I am genuinely convinced the army of UPA time was far more serious than that of BarkJP

The reddit post shows trained special forces personnel who actually have conducted successful reconnaisance, intelligence operations and most likely raids aswell in volatile territory and are trained for specialised tasks such as CFF, UWD, Demo, field medication and marksmanship.

The guys w/ american flags are armed citizens


Incase you were comparing kit and stuff, there are better kitted out american civiliian sof larpers photos on the net.

But they still suffer 5 KIA in single ambushes…

This right here is a good example of how a criticising comment should be made.

There's little to no nuance in most of the criticism by several members on this thread. There are guys who go full send on things they dont know about and in the end write "I may be wrong sorry pls sorry dont angry" nigga go learn something instead

9 para does, and 9 para is supposedly the best of the best. The delta group of India. How is this still happening?
There is no Delta group in India bro. Not even for the sake of comparison. The best we have in army is probably 75th Rangers level. Or green berets.

Got enough badges and high visibility ranks on there? Part of SF is to protect OPSEC and personal details right?

Just normal third world military things, no such thing as a silent professional in the Indian military
Come on boy. It's a press conference or an inaugural address. I don't see any pictures on field.

It's tiring to listen to people applying same logic everywhere. If it's on field what you have told holds true to its nature.

Now, if I point out saying that any military address is done with proper uniform you may not agree. Your logic has started to turn into despise and hatred. But as it is always, things happen the way they are irrespective of opinions from outsiders. Not only military but any forum.

I’m saying for comparisons sake. Ofc the Indian army has no delta group, Indian republic (not Bharat but the soshialist secoolar republic of India) isn’t even hundred years old.
