Haha GROM is probably my most fav SOF unit of late.JW GROM, I actually posted in world police thread by mistake
Peer unit to STG and Delta and treated as equals by them as well
They dont even do combat, and look at their equipment.. Compare it with ours..
But that was back in 2000s and they probably sent less than 50 operators.. They don't have any existential threats to their own country. Nothing that warrants even an army in the first place.. But they are operationally prepared and trained and equipped to combat threats. Indian SOFs are trained and prepared, but not at all well enough equipped. Their technology and even knowledge is seriously lacking.. Its changing now but not fast enough.
Why SOF of a small country like Poland so revered?Haha GROM is probably my most fav SOF unit of late.
The strength of Delta is the American establishment and funding. GROM or any other unit can never hope to match delta in any way. Maybe individual training of GROM is on par with delta, but they can never compete with any American SMU as an organization..Haha GROM is probably my most fav SOF unit of late.
That goes without saying. But the skill and quality of GROM is peer level to JSOC operators on an individual level not organisational level
About JW GROM, wiki says they are modeled after Delta, but seem more similar to SEALS and SAS, and to an extent Green Berets. I think that would be a more apt comparison. And JSOC is mostly Intel oriented. Imo there is no organization in the world like JSOC...
NZSAS has seen plenty of combat. Wiki has a list of their deployments.
GROM was raised by Delta. But developed a Waterborne capability as the DevGru also got involved. GROM has been part of jSOC task forces in Afghanistan and Iraq for a bulk of GWOT
I don't know when indian sf will look and train like this
Well simply put competency. A small country was able to produce, equip and train a small group of soldiers to run with fhe big boys and hold their own.
