Indian Special Forces

Who makes these vests? Doesn’t seems to be the unit tailor made ones.
These are chest rigs most probably imported only AT has something in this lines rn in indigenous options even then I am not sure if they have released it yet or naa haven't checked the website in a while

The chest rig on the right seems to be a Spiritus rig, and the one on the left could be the Razorback Mk II LBV from AT.
 
at 0:45 , civilian (maybe ex CCTs/JTACS) working in disaster relief .
That's more likely 101st Airborne guys maintaining the air corridor. They are heavily involved in rescue along with NG.
However, yes skillset is indispensable. If you have trained men taking control on the ground, things get easier and move in a pace that you wont see in civilians only teams.

can be retrained and redeployed in NDRF and SDRF
Don't the agniveers already have quotas reserved in these and other CAPFs?

Midnight rant.

Something, somewhere has gone horribly wrong with the Paras. The whole regiment.

Basically, there's been no change in the primary weapon systems for nearly 20 YEARS. The f@cking INFANTRY now has more modern weapon platforms than the so called SFs!

NV, Comms too in similar state of development or lack thereof. The Paras are simply stuck in a point of time & unable to move forward.

People like PC Katoch and from this generation Avinash Sahani have spoken about the organizational faults at length. Won't go into that now except to say that by turning every Para battalion into SF, the Army brass has perhaps broken two of the SOF Truths:

Special Forces cannot be mass-produced.

AND

Quality is better than quantity.

Cuz probably this is what happens when you disregard the SOF truths.

Within the next few years, MARCOS will leave the Paras so far behind that it'll become impossible to pursue operational jointness at the tactical level. A major stumbling block will be created in what AFSOD is trying to do wrt developing common SOPs. Because first we'll need to bring all the SFs on an equal footing wrt equipment as well as the knowledge & experience of working with said equipment.
