Hey guys I want you opinion on comtacs we know para went for in ear comtacs as it sound is more detailed and it is light and compact and can be used for longer duration than traditional or over ear comtacs so i think in ear makes sense right

And I think using in ear comtacs on full cut helmet won't be problem as it is with traditional comtacs so you opinion on in ear version for sf and ghatakar in future ? (Atleast by 2050)

Okay, a lot to unpack here.

You're right. Para SF going for in-ear COMTACs makes sense based on their nature of ops. Over-ear COMTACs can provide some additional protection from shrapnel, which is being sacrificed here.

Based on where Ghatak and the regular infantry are, they still lack uniform helmets, plate carriers, or even sights on their primaries. And I do not see that improving much anytime soon, maybe by 2035. By then, conventional warfare might have moved on from on-ground human conflict, altogether. By 2050, it definitely will have. So I do not see that transition period ever coming, where we'll see widespread use of COMTACs in any infantry units, even Ghataks.

Recently in few ghatak units are fairly well equiped so it might be possible in upcoming years
Rather than hicut why not use full cut with in ear as additional protection was being sacrificed even with hi cut helmet and over ear comtacs it won't provide same leval of protection as full cut
On rest i agree

Maybe ig. But it can only happen on a unit level like it has happened for Para SF. I doubt the Army brass will have the tactical dexterity to make this standard equipment.

If army brass had any technical dexterity they would have made them in India till they dirt cheap but apparently army brass lacks it
 
Bring Para SF directly under MoD headed by IPS, but no change in intake and training methods. All personals should be from within army.

There is no other unit in Army which can do this job plus its also good for the resume.

He will get hired by Ambani and make money.

HR is part of special forces mandate. Just because para SF aren't trained for it doesn't change the fact.

In US military even ranges do tactical HR operations if situation arises. Yes I agree, Training level of para SF is poor, training infrastructure is pathetic compared to other foreign special forces. Look at the casuality rate of para SF.. 3 to 4 trained terrorists are talking out whole SF squad.. multiple such insiders happened.. always casualties on para SF is far higher than their counterparts who are facing far better trained enemies. But Army is filled with ego which prevents them to consider improvement in training, instead they justify their failure with other excuses.

Father had priority of saving his family. Why would he inform army which might harm his family?(Exactly what happened after army got involved).

Lack of confidence in their own capabilities made them return and opt for less dangerous (for para) way.

It doesn't matter if the the hostages were non Kashmiri or Kashmiris, para SF are still the same. Ya if the hostages were non Kashmiris and highly influential then NSG might have involved in the operation instead of para SF.

They didn't return and opt for the "less dangerous way".

When they found out the kid had been killed, they neutralized the terrorists.
