Indian Special Forces

Maybe 25-50 years from now they might do that.

We will have attained a "not-to-be-fucked-with" status by then. Unless they magically open 10 naval stations from Vietnam to Indonesia and Burma, they can't do jack here without getting bombed back to the jade dynasty.

The anti-drone contraption has even reached the islands.

2030

Bangla Para SF will be better equipped

Or

Indian Para SF will be better equipped?


Before you laugh i hope you know Bangladesh is receiving foreign aid for a very near war..

And we all know how Afghani and Iraqi SF have progressed with aid…so have many other countries like Philippines and Malayasia?

So i ask this question in all its seriousness…what will the next 5 years change in Para SF?

Can we expect a 2017-18 kit of European standards to be achieved in 100% Para Units with 80 % soldiers being decently armed or not?

black on ucp makes as much sense as coyote brown does so maybe just get them to balance out multicam as well

yea but that doesnt work because they still operated with Indian SF in sierra leone

Correct me if am wrong. The SAS provided a Chinook and air crew for Kukhri. That was more like the Multilateral/UN forces pooling resources as such.

The SAS as such were doing their own thing and had been in country for a while. A chuck of the Indian rescue force was sent from India directly for the OP if I remember correctly.


Irrespective - the above was what I was told in the early 2000s and ofcourse things change and nothing is permanent. Though we have zero contact today with UKSF - while regular infantry has done jt training ex of late

I dont think if I can agree with you on all aspects here, I do agree that Op Kukri had all our own manpower in it, the Brits provided us equipment and air crew, Chinook yes

I have heard this interview of MARCO Lt Cdr Ajay Kandwal where he says they train with SBS. The highest India trained with UKSF was in the 1980s, a bit in 1990s too probably but it has gone slow these days. I think MARCOS still train with SBS Reserve and 43 Commando (which sends men to SFSG from Royal Marines) for MCT.

SAS trained Paras atleast acc to public sources as late as 2002-3

The vests of NSG looks just like those of Deltas of Panama fiasco of 1990

Let me restate my statement. I said UKSF - and thats not correct - the PNG issues which i am talking about (and they are no ancient - that generation no longer really servies in SF) were with the SAS - not the wider british forces.

THAT being said. i dont think Marcos has cross trained with RMC or the SBS in sometime (decade?) - was pretty active in the 80s and 90s yes. we were very close to the SAS in the 70s and 80s too. If i rememebr correctly RMC and Marcos had joint ex last in 2005 -2010 time frame or ssomething like that. But the lack time I think has to do with GOI US pivot more than anything else.

I highly doubt that. Though i have left a message with people who served in that time. will come back.

If i rememebr correctly there was talk that we trained with the SAS during the first Ajeya Warrior in the early 2000s because our SF was involved in the ex. However there is no confirmation other than Indian Fanboy sources. And if i am not wrong - any subsequent AW Ex - was all conventional forces only.

Remmber 2002 was post kargil and nuclear test and Godhra. we had diplomatic and economic issues as the GWOT was ramping up.

HOWEVER - at that time US Army Rangers, Polish / French SF and Parars, USMC - all came to HAWS and CIJWS for work ups before deploying to AStan and elsewhere - the SAS Could have come (not sure) but I doubt it had anything to do with cross training with SF.


Again - just as a FYI - i could be wrong and we do train with the SAS today and its not a PR Stunt (no press release) - I am just saying what went down in the 90s - its almost ancient history now so times could well be different with a new Gen/culture of soldiers and officers within our SF

Nah, my hunch is we don't train anymore. We could be sending people from AFSOD to train there maybe but that too would be us/rus/isl not uk
