Man, if I was unbelievably rich like Ambani, I would bribe gernails to first of all get rid of that yahoodi scam rifle tavor, replace it with an M4 pattern rifle and then equip all SF with all the gear repeated here in this
infinite times. I think this is the only way. Either that or GoI somehow takes a very deep and micromgmt approach to SF modernization and drags the gernails kicking and screaming to upgrade our SF equipment and training and establish a separate SF regiment. Short of this nothing will happen and we will keep discussing....
You don't really need all the fancy gear fanboys go gaga over in this thread
Basic equipment and standardization of gear can still go a long way with many units already having a part of the below mentioned stuff in their arsenal
1. HCBHs' from MKU with helmet cover matching the unit's camo
2. IWI Arads for their primary assault rifle or have MARCOS/NSG assess SSSD's M-72 to modify it per their requirements and develop a 10.5" barrel variant for CQB
3. Astr defense's sidearm/handgun and SSSD's Saber .338 LM snipers
4. Armasen's PC and battle belt (modified to carry more pouches/accessories) and ensure they match the camo
5. SMPPs' ballistic plates (lvl-III/IV) for AT's PCs
6. Ask Tonbo/BEL/MKU to make a holographic or red dot. Maybe add a magnifier/thermal at least for a few operators within a unit
7. Tonbo's Quad NODs for Team leads and lead assaulters while everyone else gets Binods
8. Integrated elbow and kneepad inserts instead of the current external ones
9. COMTACS - I don't think any Indian firm makes these but someone like Adani or TASL can with ToT
10. As for camo, MARCOS are pretty good with their multicam and black multicam but they should let go UCP, NSG switches to the same black multicam that MARCOS is using, Paras adopt the new Russian digital green camo we've been seeing lately for units in Kashmir & NE while Garuds remain the same
Most importantly, hire some western/Israeli SOF vets to train our guys
