Indian Special Forces

I am talking about para jump while it is on tactical dive.
Again, why would they even need to do that? Do you have any video of any other military practising that? Doesn't matter Eastern or Western.

Even when the allies landed in Normandy under active AA fire, it was via Static Line jump. There are pre establised SOPs for different scenarios.
If its landing under active AA/Brigade/Division specific landings behind the lines - Static jump
If its landing small units deep behind enemy lines - CFF

Under which scenario would you have the aircraft first perform a tactical descent and then have the paratroopers jump out?
 
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.
So it is possible and can be done but it can be challenging.
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.
Should be tested in that case, including the strength of the parachute fabric.
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

Training will be required no doubt. Yes it is complex but element of surprize will be protected to higher degree. More over in Himalayan ranges, it will make it possible to deploy the forces in a concentrated zone especially in narrow valleys, which will again evade detection. Also for cross border ops, the banking arc for the transporter will be smaller while turning back.
 
Again, why would they even need to do that? Do you have any video of any other military practising that?
Well I think, Indian SF can have their own tactics developed too.
If its landing under active AA/Brigade/Division specific landings behind the lines - Static jump
If its landing small units deep behind enemy lines - CFF

Both are outdated in today's era when you have sensitive radars looking at you.

Under which scenario would you have the aircraft first perform a tactical descent and then have the paratroopers jump out?

1. When you are already detected by enemy radar while dropping.

2. When you are entering high altitude area especially in Karakoram, where you have narrow valleys running parallel to LOC or LAC. You can't risk to be seen by manpads and radars.

Horizontal direction the aircraft travels more, while in tactical descent it will have two axis motion both vertical and horizontal. The deployment can be concentrated better on landing zone without traveling further.
