no afterall rangers and pathfinders performed well in Afghanistan too. The closest to 10 Para's type of ops are SAS/SBS/Pathfinders mobility troops. But the thing is those SMUs train alot for other types of ops too. What do we see from 10 ? They sometimes dress in black and slither down windows but that's about it. That too room intervention with an Uzi
A company size troop is sent which is an attachedment and not the whole unit moving to Kashmir.
Their inability to operate as small teams is what costed them high casualties in sri lanka...
han han that only ofc Kashmir is not their AO. They are even placed with MARCOS up top and as I have read in some citations of MARCOS guys, 10 Para guys are usually the support element while MARCOS served as the assault element
More of an augmentation than support. 10 Para has operated in Ganderbal distt and Bandipora distt too which comes in Marcos' AO. Op Lawanz (2008) was one of their biggest ops. Many Hikers used to meet them at the penultimate point of Great lakes trek
Offtopic ; in DFI we had chatted that only 9 had small team concepts in Lanka neither 10 nor 1 had.I had chatted with Sapru sir in insta and asked why they never tried the small team concepts to which he said 1 had experimented with that concept in Lanka but with bad results against well trained ltte so they worked in 16-20 man teams .They lost some 35-36 men .
Teams of 10 are deployed in various times.Not the entire unit.Only 21 is not deployed in recent times.Others send men in rotation .4 and 9 has permanent presence.
Aree I know the only units that deploy as full size units are the ones which are based there 4 & 9. Not sure about 1 but dont think so cause they are not under NAC
The only purpose they serve is to promote ( false) naari sakti.
WTF is even a 'PARA-SFF' badge? This chutiya ghatak don't know shit...
Brother I was talking sarcastically xD
Thats not clandestine ops my guy
This one isn't but heard half a dozen cases in past few months where a TTP cdr got killed mysteriously.. but the opposite happened 4x more towards paki forces
Exactly, A company is sent on rotation.
A squad from 10SF is always lurking in the valley!
Never seen a whole team of any SF unit moving in!
