The first thing that Army is trying to have better with similarity of spare parts in almost all fire arms ( Rifle, LMG, Carbine, Sniper Rifle ) also similar ammo for all except few..

And Indeed with better tactics and training one can beat the other lesser trained one but this is not always..

""but this is not always""".....I think you are pointing at - soviet invasion of Afghanistan / Vietnam war and you r right, but than again their tactics have been failed although they were well trained than their counterparts. But mind it (as Media portrays) they are not defeated but failed in fulfilling their objectives.....

Any organisational structure that is built requires rational.

What is the rational for the various teams. their manpower and their weapon and equipment as given by you?

Modernize AK-47 looks Mean....
Looks doesn't bring any results and it still fulfills its tasks.
RR should induct LMGs of 762 caliber instead of 556 as it will have common spares as the ones used in kalashnikovs.

Btw, Do we have Sniper School ???
Which sniper ?

Long range sniper ?
Stalingrad type sniper ?
Silent killer ?
Covert Surveillance sniper?
Vehicle and ICV sniper ?
Jackal killing Degol type killer sniper?

Yes, people from world over attend special firing skill at CIJW School and Infantry school as given in MoD web site.

Unfortunately MoD is too pauper to give them assortment of sniper weapons and DRDO is too busy to think about it.

Do not make mockery of of an objective based and functional result and mission oriented organisation called Army.

So you start with a fire team ?
So you think the mission of the Army in basic is to fire ??
NO that is the basic function of Tanks and Guns, aircraft and ships. Their movement is primarily to fire where movement of

The function of basic army bricks called infantry is to hold ground and close in with the enemy. For that, something more than fire is needed.infantry is to close in with the enemy and destroy him in close combat even with your teeth and nails.


The basic tactics of infantry is fire and move. It is not only fire. Fire is only a support and destructive element to cover the movement. Movement is the winning element as that helps one to close in with the enemy.

Therefore squad consists of fire support element and assault element who function part of the one single whole reversing roles as the situation so demands.

Rest all you wrote is just bunkum ! A platoon can never be 70 men... the resources of platoon are inadequate for those number to be kept into a tight organisation.

I hope we all understand "organisation".

Can we use Indian Army terminology when discussing the Indian Army?

Or is it a fashion statement being made by using US terminology?

Let's have our feet firmly on the ground and not start flying into orbit.

No, But yes Sniper Hub where infantry get training..

The best in Army send outside for Sniper training..




The possibilities are endless if one try..

Snipping essentially is an infantry speciality ( more speciality for SF) > Infantry is the only arm where Sniper could be authorised to be part of the organisation. Hence the hub of Sniper training logically have to be infantry training institutions.

Other than that snipers are very good assets for intelligence organisations and special operations groups or organise hit operations.
