Indian Special Forces

Why do we call indian sf operatives or operators? Do indian army themslves use this term or vets? From what i’ve seen para SF at the very least still considers themselves to be para commandos?

Plenty of new officers call themselves "Operators" nothing odd about it

What is Indian satellite capabilities like? I remember a huge portion of Gulf War and 2003 victories against Iraq were credited due to Satelite Imagery which allowed for not only airstrikes to vaporize whole iraqi divisions but for SFs to do SADO ops on artillery batteries and wipe out entire Artillery units. Does india have such capabilities?

I remember the core reason Operation Riddle turned into a disaster in Sept 6-10th 1965 was because IA was clueless of Pakistans 1st armored division in Kasur, as a result the indian thrust to Kasur was completely stopped. Satellite imagery would have given india oin point precision on Paki armored divisions and have allowed for the IAF to wipe them out.
 
Man i have to say after reading about US SOF operations I am a bit humbled. They are in a league of their own.

They have dedicated comms and consistent contact with the airforce so when something goes wrong, to avoid life of operators, they can call in airstrikes or reinforcements. Not to mention they have far superior intel capabilities via satellites and infiltration capabilities. They operate completely differently as to Para SF which sitll operates in an infantry manner. How is the combined arms warfare skills of the indian military? Let’s say para is deployed in Syria one day and they get ambushed, can para call in airstrikes to get extracted or will they be expected to thug it out?

Meanwhile our men still operate in a cold war manner. Smh!
 
One question- Could proper Satcom and satellite intel have prevented the disaster in Jaffna University of 10 Para?

Let’s say something went wrong during surgical strikes. Pak intel knew they were raiding and a group of 50-100 pak ssg and militants lay an ambush of 9 para, what happens then? Would 9 Para fight till the end or do they have the Comm abilities to call in an airstrike like wetsern sofs would do and get proper extraction?

God we are so behind in not just equipment but literally everything

This country’s leadership doesn’t have a mindset to counter 2 front war at all times they are lacking we should have been cleared of Pakistan a long time ago to an extent that they are afraid to do proxy but here we are competing with them everyday who have nothing and they are still giving us a tough competition.
And let’s not talk about China that’s even more embarrassing.

Everybody knows.. some admit some don't. But the fact remains that today whatever way we know SOF as, most of it is defined by USSOCOM
