Woh toh siraf PC hai ! baaki sab std issue aur unit issued hai. @Arad Operator once mentioned long back that SMPP will probably be the std issue for the para regiment. BTWs this is how most of the unit looks like while operating in and around valley -

Currently, from my personal observation, the focus is on getting all of the new optics, I² and TI/comms/uav shit into CI-CT ops before the new standard PPE.

Is there any one unit using gearsmith or any other proper combat clothing (with features which were described in Col. Shivender's videos) extensively?

I'll wait. I've been hearing things will change for long but have seen very little effect on real ground. They've got a long way to go - decade of changes in almost everything to catch up with. Let's see.

Not been tracking. out of curiosity. Did any of team (Aircrew + Marcos) that did the Hijacked Ship Take down last year get any citation/awards?

Hmm marketing gimmic or something is cooking?? @KAB7777 if you could sorry to bother you again

I think he’s already mentioned it in the video, a lot of their testing people and others are ex-Para SF so they like to play around with the stuff.

COAS was speaking at a news company's conclave, if I remember correctly. Although, the COAS didn't take SSS's name, it was clear which company he was referring to.. in fact a high level executive of SSS even clarified on X, about COAS's remarks, when people speculated that the remarks referred to SSS... therefore, making it clear that it was SSS.

Do provide a video or article for the same please.

Thanks. Can you tell me the context. Given recent utterings of ACM against LCA - makes me wonder if criticism was in same vein?

Well, I don't recall the words verbatim, but it had something to do with small arms, their barrels, where/how they are made ( ans - not in India)... the COAS sounded pretty genuine.
And, it is not as if no Indian defense start-ups are getting orders.. they are.. albeit small ones... these SSS folks seem to be cry babies almost forcing the army to buy their products... &, I have not seen other defense pvt sector players hype themselves up like these sss guys.. that is why i don't feel sss are genuine.

Well initially this might have been the case, but given all their recent factory tours, they are producing all parts including barrel here except optics - which they also plan to manufacture inhouse as part of future roadmap. I do remember SSS was not able to participate in very initial tenders because of initial DPP stipulation about only allowing companies with certain pedigree. Company has come a long way from there. Thats why I have more hope in SSS, astr than any other screwdrivergiri Companies opened under big banner.

Geez, looks like our non-stop bantering about equipment is paying off. Hope I'm not jinxing anything

Fancy dress competition is going on.

The day a centralised induction process is started we shall see.

I am all for proper indigenisation, & not screwdriver-giri, and do hope that sss have improved since that time, & that they get orders.. but, i won't trust them just based on their words in a paid video (apparently).

I hate to be repeating what many have been saying but really the only thing that will wake these people up is a real fight for survival. Ukrainians woke up post 2014 (Crimea) and hence weren’t such a pushover when 2022 came

The India military has too long been able to hide operational failures because the combat when it does happen has been limited to skirmishes or COIN

When these guys are facing an opposing peer force and combined arms assaults it’ll be a different story- frankly no Indian soldier serving has any such experience, all this bs about ‘battle hardened’ is rubbish- fighting goat fkers are not the measure of a conventional military, the Indian military has been able to set the bar so incredibly low they make anything other than a complete collapse to be an operational success.

Watch any of the basic training videos of the IA and you will see this is not a serious force, most of the training is downright goofy, the other irrelevant

Easy for me to say of course that a war is needed, it’ll cost a lot of good men with the hearts of lions their existences but their ‘leaders’ have already forfeited their lives

I think both the GoI (not the era of war) and IA are hoping that our advantageous geo location with Himalayas on the north and open ocean on the south, with a militarily weak neighborhood (apart from china) as well as a large standing army ( quantity is a quality of its own) will serve as a deterrent to any peer enemy from attacking us. This may have been true for the last 50yrs, but newer tech, training and rapid progress of China will no longer guarantee that this approach may work. BD, Pak, Manipur etc...all show that we can and are being broken in unconventional ways and sadly our unconventional warfare units are way way behind in current modern spl warfare methods, equipment, training and thinking.....Unless rapid military reforms are implemented top down by GoI and shoved down IA's throat, things won't change, but for that you need a govt willing to bite the bullet, sadly the current one after a somewhat strong start has fizzled out into preaching shanti, buddha and mahatma BS
