This explains why so many UKSF books are just about the 1940s, 60s, 70s but mostly 80s and early 90s.
Since 1996 every UKSF member was made to sign a confidentiality agreement. This is why authors you see from then point on like Phil Campion, Jason Fox, Nims Purja, Ant Middleton, Dean Stott and Ollie Ollerton who have written their books have mostly written about their time doing adventure activies, as TV hosts or contracting...nothing much about the SAS/SBS or UKSF

But people before that...wrote extensivly like SEALs write today...they wrote life inside the regiment, life before and after...etc
 
When will they leave Soviet style firing stance

Are they still fine with the chicken wing during weapons training?

There is no one way to fire all rifles at all times. For a static shooting position for getting some range time, this isn't a bad stance. The knees bent, scrunched forward stance is high on fatigue, best saved for more dynamic training regimes.

Also, you can't go C-clamping a barebones AK like this one (not that NSG knows C-clamping, but case in point) as your thumb would block the front sight. Need to have an optic to even consider C clamp on an AK.
 
leaving modernization and standardization aside(which is subject to budget and bureaucracy), it seems military has gone borderline radio silent or the leadership is succumbing to internal politics/pressure. We don't see a personality like Gen Narvane or Gen Bipin Rawat.
Over the last 15 years or so, only Gens VKS, & Rawat have espoused some confidence. All the others, including the present one, seem to be weaklings.
 


Ah, I guess it's time for the annual reminder as to where Paras stand wrt equipment & tactics compared to Tier-2 US SOF. That is to say, nowhere even close.

I don't understand why we even keep doing this charade every year. It's not like we're actually learning anything. After nearly 15 years of these exercises, we changed zilch.

Either there's an inability to absorb lessons, or an inability to materialize the demand for equipment. Either way, there are clearly more fundamental problems to solve wrt the Para battalions before any such exercises can actually start giving us deliverable benefit.
