Arrey yaar, if some one doesn't buy toh Pangaa, if some one buys it another Pangaa. Karey to karey kya. In this case I don't know if the one bought are of same model or some new things added in it. But any case price is too much overrated.

They are same as silynx clarus dual comms
Sos and silynx are same company
Here we are not questioni g there purchase but rather cost it is like paying for 3 comtacs and getting only one
And in General trend in military procurement is if a equipment in civilian market is 1000$ military buy it for 600-900$ military gets it for cheap in our case it seems to be opposite we payed three times for it
Now I am happy if they purchase something but paying three times the price for already expensive is insane for context you could easily get over ear comtacs used by nato sf for around AVG 500$ (there are expensive one sure but we are talking about good one with normal budget) now compare it to ours 3,363$

The U.S. Army’s 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), along with partners from the Indian Army’s Special Operations Forces and the Idaho National Guard’s 124th Air Support Operations Squadron participated in Exercise Vajra Prahar Nov. 2 through 22 on Orchard Combat Training Center ranges and facilities. The exercise is designed to enhance cooperative relationships between the elite units, focusing on realistic training scenarios that challenge participants in complex environments.
The 124th ASOS was tasked to provide the Indian soldiers with Joint Terminal Attack Controller and close air support instruction to enhance interoperability between Indian and U.S. special operations forces.
“We helped build stronger relationships with the partner force by demonstrating the Tactical Air Control Party’s commitment to their success and providing them with valuable training and resources,” said Master Sgt. Douglas K. Brock, a JTAC with 124th ASOS. “In the end, the 124th ASOS showcased their ability to work with anyone, anywhere, at any time to achieve mission success by maintaining a high level of readiness, while also building a foundation for future training and development opportunities.”
Vajra Prahar is an annual exercise, now in its 15th year, and changes locations annually between U.S. and Indian training facilities to improve the special operators’ ability to work together in a variety of terrain and climate combinations. This is the first time the exercise has taken place in Idaho.
“The airspace and training facilities have been awesome at the OCTC,” said a member of 1st SFG(A). “They’ve given us the ability to run CH-47 Chinook missions, live talk on JTAC training, conduct sniper training and make direct-action assaults on multiple urban objectives.”
The combination of the realistic training environment and integration of skillsets from each of the participating units fostered tactical improvements and stronger relationships among the partner-nation forces, according to the 1sgt SFG(A) Soldier.
“By engaging in this rigorous training, participants develop their skills improve communication and foster a spirit of collaboration that is essential for successful operations in real-world situations,” he said. “Working alongside our partners across the Indo-Pacific region increases security capacity and interoperability among our forces.”
The OCTC, a 173,000-acre training center is a premier joint combined arms training site located 18 miles south of Boise, provides world-class training facilities for war fighters from all U.S. Armed Forces and partner nations from around the globe.

I said and wrote all of this because you were saying para under ips will result in better budget but thing is they already have budget even affrican sf look better equiped than para sf
Lack of mordenisation is all due to officer , unit co and top brass
Well I hope you have seen it but this is what looks like when unit co actually wants to mordenisation and put efforts into it

Except for the platecarrier, everything is going to be there in every para battalion

10 or 3 para Ig

pc Jacket without any plates...
High cut helmets without any NVGs
Went to do urban sniper training centre with galil DMR.
I don't think indian army consider SF training with US seriously. For them it's just a picnic to a foreign country.
US army consider para SF as a friendly militia forces.

We've seen pics with full comms setup too. If it was not for those pics we would've never known

Probably 10.
3 para are the same clowns who did shit show in vajra prahar 2018.

Oh yeah, same 'clowns' who curbed militancy in NE even before getting converted into SF...

 

[Arad Operator]

Finally we'll see NSG getting utilized for what its meant to be! Explains why GoI retracted them from VIP protection duties(11,12&13 SRGs). Also a good news for the SF which no longer will be utilized as a CI/CT force...

So empathetic of the US of A for they are training alongside meagre ragtag subcontinental militiamen equipped with sub saharan level of gear in one of their larger facilities to make room for enabling the inclusion of air support in special operations. Second best militia partners since kurdish ctg i suppose ?

I would love to listen in on a convo between a Navy SEAL who's participated in RIMPAC 2024 and a Green beret who's participated in Vajra Prahar 2024 cause I'm sure they'll have very different views about their Indian counterparts.
Also, it shows how stubborn the Army is in its ways. We already know that if this were MARCOS they would have turned up in their best kit and tried to learn everything possible from an SF as capable as the Green Berets. The Army doesn't even bother to. They're still stuck with their US soldier = Bisleri boy ego, whereas, based on what they usually do from an operational POV, the Green Berets can teach them more than possibly every other SF in the world. What a waste of opportunity. Honestly, Garuds would probably have taken more from this exercise than Para SF.

At this point, I'm 100% sure that the pic we saw with the full loadout was all-American minus the helmet. Cause why on earth would you wear the kit to take a freaking mirror selfie and then take it off during the actual training.

americans don't use that specific comms set and headset. They std issue of us army sf is prc 163 and even the rundown/redundant comms is a prc 152 brick further rundown would be a prc 148. The headset since GWOT has been the whole peltor comtac series that got refined over time
