When will they leave Soviet style firing stance

Are they still fine with the chicken wing during weapons training?

There is no one way to fire all rifles at all times. For a static shooting position for getting some range time, this isn't a bad stance. The knees bent, scrunched forward stance is high on fatigue, best saved for more dynamic training regimes.

Also, you can't go C-clamping a barebones AK like this one (not that NSG knows C-clamping, but case in point) as your thumb would block the front sight. Need to have an optic to even consider C clamp on an AK.
 
leaving modernization and standardization aside(which is subject to budget and bureaucracy), it seems military has gone borderline radio silent or the leadership is succumbing to internal politics/pressure. We don't see a personality like Gen Narvane or Gen Bipin Rawat.

Over the last 15 years or so, only Gens VKS, & Rawat have espoused some confidence. All the others, including the present one, seem to be weaklings.
 


Ah, I guess it's time for the annual reminder as to where Paras stand wrt equipment & tactics compared to Tier-2 US SOF. That is to say, nowhere even close.

I don't understand why we even keep doing this charade every year. It's not like we're actually learning anything. After nearly 15 years of these exercises, we changed zilch.

Either there's an inability to absorb lessons, or an inability to materialize the demand for equipment. Either way, there are clearly more fundamental problems to solve wrt the Para battalions before any such exercises can actually start giving us deliverable benefit.
