Their performance with all those equipments movement time, response time, ability to carry all the gear should be tested in real situation.

Yes. That's what matters.
Unfortunately Marcos don't have a good training centre.

I think all PARA (SF) units should have more uniformity in their logos like maybe balidan badge + skull then build something on that

1 - no skull,uses balidan badge as it is

2,4,10,11 - no skull, no balidan

3 - no skull, snake on balidan
(seen new ones with a skull with a sword going through it, dont know if its fan made or official)
5 - no skull, paratrooper on balidaan
6 - skull as well as balidan
9 - skull with dagger, no balidan

12 - skull with hair, no balidan

7,13 - no logo as such
21 - no skull, wagnakh with balidan

23,29 - similar logos with roman numerals with skull

+ the balidan badge itself comes from the SAS but cant be changed as its really old and holds great significance for the unit and veterans
So atleast these logos should be polished further before they become too significant to change

Yes. That's what matters.

What??

Ever heard of NSWTTC?

Will still not look uniform if they go with my balidan + skull look
I meant like 6's logo with the skull customized for each unit placed on middle on below the badge

That (balidan + skull) combo was just a example, other elements can be used but should be uniform

7 has a coin with their OG logo of World, Sword and Il-76.

23 is Skull with wings

29 or better known as Warriors & Monks now(formerly Airborne Rajputs) have a different one.

Seen the 23 and 29 ones, could you share the 7 one? Also Is that sword going through the skull with a snake logo official for 3 para?

Uniformity of the logo should be the last thing that we should be worried about

 

[hkdas]

What??

Ever heard of NSWTTC?

You think NSWTTC is good enough!!?? That INS MANDOVI base is only 250-acre. How much space is provided for Marcos training when the base even have school, College, navy canteen in addition to areas for accomodation for all personals!!??

Look at the forum bhai almost 400 pages with even more on DFI and we also had an older SF thread on DFI
I dont think our 'worrying' part on the most crucial of things even reaches them

Ok leave it then, here's some info you'd like There's 2 logos usually, one has balidan with the unit's number inscribed on the bottom and the other is unit's own custom logo.
I'm listing out the custom logos -
1 SF - A bear/wolf with blood on it's face with clawmarks
2 SF - An Eagle
3 SF - Russel's viper on the dagger piercing the skull
4 SF - Four Daggers in the shape of 4
5 SF - A parachutist with combat load over the number 5
6 SF - Skull with beret and wings, scrolled tab saying death from above
7 SF - A globe being fucked by a sword and an IL 76
9 SF - Skull with inverted beret with balidan as the beret insignia with the word "Nine" written on the balidan. A dagger in it's mouth
10 SF - Scorpion with Swift Silent Deadly Tagmark
11 SF - Winged 11 with tagline Helleven
12 SF - Skull with hair (has changed now iirc)
13 SF - Thunderbolt with wing iirc
21 SF - Wagnakh
23 SF - Skull with wings
29 SF - recently updated (idk what's the new one)

 

[Airborne22]

Yes. That's what matters.
Unfortunately Marcos don't have a good training centre.

what's a good training centre be in your opinion ? An institute that imparts full spectrum of special operations training to marcos at a single place ?

Sorry but why use demonic looking things as symbols?

Are they motorcycle gangs or tattoo artists…or just want to look cool?

Or copy any Gora SF symbol?


21 Para SF uses the waghnak symbol so well..why not use other symbols from history?

Use Maa Kali or Shiv weapons…maybe some symbols from ancient India or make something of your own for which you stand.

Agreed. but
I dont think the SAS inspired badge can be replaced as I mentioned later its been around for decades hence its significance for unit and veterans. Similar case for 9's logo I think
Besides the general idea was uniformity no matter what designs are used , those elements were just examples
