He gives amazing insights

Nazi Germany had one of the greatest economies

Economies - NO, Production capacity and workforce - Absolutely yes

probably the strongest military to ever grace the earth.

Absolutely One of the strongest. The tech and engineering developments back then lead to a lot of modern day inventions. Nazi scientists were miles ahead when it comes to innovation, they however lacked time and funding to get those ideas to be a reality.

Keeping the anti semitism aside, its worth a read. English translations simplify a lot of things compared to the original German version.

never used supplements legs are really good but shoulders remain shit even though i can bench press around 150 lb shoulder struggles even at lighter weights

Please mention your perfect push ups ( full range of motion ) count in one go

Very grim chances of them learning Heliborne sniping without western high end trainers ...basic PMC trainers can't teach these stuff .... the setups with the suspension cables and all are also same as western SOPs implying direct influence .... or maybe they leant those stuff in a joint ex

I have read it....and I was quite a fanboy for 2 years when I was in school until I grew out of it. It's just that this book is quite famous in Asian countries. I have learnt German and a little bit of French, though I never bothered to read the German version. Regaurding his idea of industrialization, preventive measures in nation's defence policy and learning and question pre-existing order. He is fine, however the way he inadequately describes the jew as a rat, collonizer, threat to society is just abhorent and stupid.

Reading the book I was very well able to see how easily he could tap into the existing notions of people and make them belive it was a fact. Hitler was a sick bastard who is quite apealing for youngsters because he appears like the Andrew Tate of Governance. Both the takla kickboxer and the failed austrian painter are two pimps. Alot of what they say if you subtract the misogyny from one and anti-semetism from the other might be good insights but still rather very politically uncorrect

The training is no longer 2 years, earlier it used to be 8 months Clearance Diving and 14 months MARCOS course that included 1 month naval commando training, 1 month belgaum commando school, 1 month with NSG, 3 months with Special Group, 1 month at CJIWS, Intellegence course in Pune, Photography course, Defensive and evassive driving course and then back to naval commando training

Then in 1996, MARCOS course became 4-5 months excluding the diving course. All my sources are MARCOS guys from interviews only. By then MARCOS either did 2 months ship diving and 4-5 months MARCOS to become MARCOS (Basic) and serve for 3 years (officers) and 5 years (sailors) or 8 months Clearance Diving followed by 4-5 months MARCOS course to serve as MARCOS permanantly

Now since 2017, instead of CD course, they do Combat diving so their training is 7 months long, with MARCOS course being 4 and a half and Combat Diving 2 and a half. Additional 1 month is in the beginning called Build up phase so training goes on as 8 months.

It was/is a pretty good optic for its time even revolutionary to an extent , when using viz laser was a thing .

Funny why they are replacing it with Mor when they have an inhouse Optic development and mfg

They developed their skill inhouse by ' figuring it out ' or there was some western influence involved ?

Gen Padha was commissioned into 4/11 Parachute Engineer Company. Later on he went into 9 Para Cdo. From Col Awadesh Kumar's book - "on eve of war on 30 Nov 71 he had to be evacuated to Military Hospital at Jammu due to severe kidney infection. On 4th December night with 102° temperature, he managed to “escape “from MH and somehow reached Alpha Group at the Chamb Bridge site just before the 4th Paki assault on the morning of 5th December. Though perforce due to worsening conditions he again had to be evacuated along with BHM Bahal Chand and was back as “POW “of MH Jammu"
