Indian Special Forces

Fun is diving out from globemaster when it is on tactical combat descent, or combat flying.
Mate there's probably no doctrine where you conduct a jump while on a "tactical combat descent". Do you mean Sarajevo Approach? No one in their right mind can jump out of that or something similar to that.
This only exists in Michael Bay movies and that too he used V22 Ospreys for that.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Outside India in west bacha bacha drones, skydiving, operating a weapon main trained hai. Bhai kis zamane mein ho?

During actual combat itna time nahi milega now days. Lots to learn
This is clearly a training free fall jump. Why rush? the only time they rush you while jumping is during a static line jump where the number of soldiers jumping out of the plane are significantly more and is the most used method in a combat scenario apart from CFF/HAHO jumps. HAHO jumps are freefall and wont require such rush as well.

Yes people skydive here for fun. I have 6 Tandem and 10 solos(With instructors) but you cant equate that with combat jumps.

Useless Rant
 
Anything which Para SF learns from west is amazing, rest is useless because can't create own tactics right? Last time your Para SF guys were plying in firozshah kotla with guys from our side, aisa dhoya ki moral down ho gaya SF walo ka. The the chief said let the army win .. lol
Bhai konsi side hai tumhai?

No I did not mean Sarajevo approach. Tactical descent begins at higher alt, aircraft plunges at 5000ft-10000ft per min. Pilots would know what I am talking about. Now if there is a pilot here, can clarify if SF can be trained to conduct jump during a tactical descent.

Why I brought it is because it will save the time plus this tactic will be very helpful in evading enemy radars, special in areas like Siachen and Skardu or even Tibet.

Pointing out some potential issues with jumping out of a C-17 during tactical descent. I get where you're coming from with tactical descent, but I've got some concerns about why SF can't just jump out during one of these maneuvers.

First off, safety is a huge issue. Tactical descent involves some crazy altiude and airspeed changes, making it super tough for jumpers to exit the aircraft safely.


And then there's the jump conditions themselves. The high descent rates and turbulent airflow would make it tough for jumpers to maintain a stable body position, increasing the risk of injury or equipment malfunction.

Canopy deployment's might also be a concern. Plus remember Combat Freefall generally happens above 25000 ft if I am not wrong, now the aircraft can go down by serious rate in the descent, less altitude during jump will also result in lesser time to tackle any malfunction that happens.

Lastly, SF operators would need some serious training and certification to pull off jumps during tactical descent. We're talking a whole different level of complexity compared to standard parachute ops. Why complicate things up

I'm not saying evading enemy radar isn't crucial - it totally is. But there are safer ways to do it, like using stealthy aircraft or flying at night.

Now I could be wrong feel free to correct me, regarding my previous comment 'Usless Rant' it was just against Bhosdapilling

Edit - Combat Freefall in Siachen is feasible or not considering the extreme climate conditions and gear they would need to operate after landing and the altitude?
@Airborne22, @Arad Operator please give your opinions
 
Arrey seedha static line jump karo na why to make the operators climb the long cargo bay of the c17 just to jump out the aircraft that too with battle-load.
Exactly. In any active combat airdrop scenario, it always has been/will always be a static line drop. Tactical descent as explained above is also used for recee troop insertion. Fly high, drop down low to land, ramp opens, vehicle and troops out and then the aircraft takes off.

I am talking about para jump while it is on tactical dive.
