Indian Special Forces

Can please someone riddle me how a virtually bankrupt Argentina has better homogenous gear than we afford Para SF ?
Beacuse it's not about money.
It's about standards and vision.
"Chalta hai atitude", high cut helmet aagye Bina comtacs ke bhi chalta hai.
Purani load vest with plate inserts chalti hai, naye plate carrier kyu kharede.
Purane time tested tactics chalte hai name tactic kyu adopt kare.
Etc.
 
Guys does the US participate in more than one annual jtex with paras ? Because I had a convo with a friend of mine (he ran that scramjet handle alongside me on the old forum) and he pointed out that in 2021 there were three jtex with US. One was Vajra Prahar in march @ SFTS Bakloh
second was Ex Tarkash with NSG and third was an excercise in US in November where guys from 21 and 11 went.
Yes., in some years they do JE twice.
One as vajra prahar, other as some other name..

Day end on high.

This is a bitter truth, but someone needs to say it. It's the result of 'Martial Race' i.e. caste/ethnic-based recruitment predominantly from North India(for infantry, my estimate is 70%), and the lack of human development of the recruits vis-a-vis the advancing world. They might be brave, no doubt about that, but just cannon fodder. There's huge difference between an Indian infantryman and a NATO infantry...starting from tactical gun posture, to battlefield movement. This can only work under colonial rule like in the pre-independence times, with European officers and native soldiers. Lack of Benchmarking vis-a-vis the NATO forces. The army should also look towards recruiting youths from urban/metro cities and empower the NCOs and JCOs. The officers who are Airborne/SF qualified should be given preference for promotion.

Nothing against vegetarians but sometimes it is too much, 'Koi kisi ko maarkr kaise kha skta hai'...

Even the attitude towards protein shakes and other outsources of protein, fuss like 'heart-attack aa jayega/ lever khraab ho jayega' eliminates the only the chance of suitable protein intakes for our SF chaps!:D
When it comes to protein peanuts have more protein then chicken and many other alternate options are present
If you want to say that protein intake makes body bigger and bulky it's your misconceptions
It's totally based on genetics and lineage
South Indian are mostly non-vegetarian and includes fish in daily routine still shorter and lean than Indians from north where half of the population never touch flesh and other than tastes once a while
Same concept with japanese chinese Indonesians etc there is plenty of non veg in their food still shorter and lean
So on my opinion body of a person depends on his lineage history and geography
