Indian Special Forces

[IWIarad11]

Did SG take part in Kargil? I read about a bunch of Vikasis being attached to another battalion in some book I can't remember - it said their performance wasn't v good.

Para's role in Kargil too is often scrutinized.

Can anyone share some actual accounts?

Has anyone been studying the Ukrainin DRGs? They're doing some mad work in Kursk right now. Chachro raid but on steroids.

Are paras today even capable of performing DA missions like the Chachro raid?

Mainly comprising Tibetans in-exile and Nepali Gurkhas, the unit became known for its mountain warfare skills and went on to secretly serve in highly sensitive military operations such as Operation Eagle (Chittagong Hills, 1971 India-Pakistan War), Operation Bluestar (Golden Temple, 1984), Operation Meghdoot (Siachen, 1984), and Operation Vijay (Kargil, 1999).

About SG's role in Kargil
"At the height of the Kargil war in 1999, prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee summoned the director-general (security) at the cabinet secretariat for a one-to-one, hush-hush meeting. He had one question for the officer: Did he have men who could carry out an operation near Pakistan’s nuclear facility in Kahuta, located in the Himalayan foothills in their part of Punjab?

Soon after the meeting, a band of 40 bearded men in plainclothes left their base at Sarsawa in Saharanpur district in Uttar Pradesh for a remote location in Jammu and Kashmir, the terrain of which was similar to that of Kahuta. The men were part of the Special Group, India’s most elite special forces unit that was so discreet that it was considered nonexistent. Their objective: train for a suicide mission. “For almost 45 days, the men were made to run up and down the hills for the mission, which did not happen ultimately,” an intelligence officer who monitored them from Delhi told THE WEEK. "

Close encounters of the covert kind

An all-out war with Pakistan? Not feasible. Diplomatic offensive to isolate the enemy? Recommended, but may not be effective. Surgical air strike? Runs the risk of escalating tension. Covert operations? Good idea, but how battle-ready are our special forces? THE WEEK investigates

As sad as it sounds, I would wager not, atleast not without retraining back into a mindset and training made of conventional mobility warfare(and that includes modernized gear en masse for the regular infantry too because without regular infantry there's no points in doing raids)

AFAIK only some part of the Army even tries to wargame a conventional warfare scenario.

Let me know how does the jacket feel pants I have no use of so it's useless to me

What is the review of the pants?

The Frostguard Mk.1 jacket is bloody good. It got warm fast and I didn't even have to close the zippers. Speaking of the zippers, they are real good quality, smooth. Pockets are tough as hell as well.

As for the Crusader Mk.2 pants, they are stupid comfortable. Pockets are great, zippers again top notch, ankle strings don't come loose once you tighten them, and I just went out on a light run wearing these.

Good things have already been said here for the Mistral Mk. 1 tees and I have nothing new to add. Overall everything I bought, I highly recommend.

In this video you can very clearly see the flashing L of the LITENING targeting pod which means it was the targeting pod that was lasing with the laser in combat mode, which means you could not do that if you were in laser search and track mode, i.e tracking someone else's laser.






Also I've not heard of them utilzing Para SF for any such operation even in several podcasts(like the Blue Skies Podcast) so if I have some gaps in my knowledge do let me know

Mate this video is only one of the several bombing runs carried out by the M2Ks, Ik litening pods were used for both Recce and Targeting. My point was it was not just the fighter jets alone which were lasing the targets for th LGBs. SF and even Arty chaps we doing that on ground at some instances!
