Exactly bhai. Am waiting for his 4th book eagerly! He should be the brand ambassador of SF in India. 1 Para is a breed apart.

Very articulate and mature points!

Plus love his Rolex!

The man who's done real epic shit and still writes it off as fiction is Major Sapru. Brought all three of his books as soon as the last one came out and read them. What fun

Those books, Bloody hell man, makes you wish for more

More soldiers dying due to accidents compared to Ops.

@SKC @Suryavanshi @Blademaster @mods Could you guys move this post to Indian Army Updates. I just noticed that I posted this in the wrong thread.

A lot of old-school guys have it, particularly those who went through combat dive school or were part of IMSF.
The Rolex Submariner, still favoured by many frogman, though replaced by the cheaper G-shock was the quiet assurance of gear built to last and suiting it's name

They should loosen the black gear altogether with multicam and only use it with black-multicam or UCP

Why is are only two guys in the open-leg prone position while the other two aren't?

The whole purpose of the open-leg prone position with their inner ankle bone resting on the ground is to enhance stability, minimize recoil disruption and improve ground contact for consistent positioning and stability while maximizing both comfort and accuracy

There is a lot of wrong in this pic.

Hope they invest in training!

Dont want to degrade them.

You can see the GB influence on them. Guess its just the Paras who are slow in evolving.

Think its the French

French IIRC had the Legion deployed along with some SF elements. However DR Congo also has a sizeable US mil deployment including multiple ODAs since 2020-2021 for ops against IS.

The country that does the most (bilateral) joint exercises with the US in the world?


…..India

Yet you see 1940s infantry kit/tactics for infantry and ‘special forces’ running around with bandanas screaming COMMANDOOOOOO

what is it about Indian mentality/psyche that makes it so oblivious to intervention or even critique?

Online Indians are always benchmarking and declaring India ‘da best’ at XYZ but why is there not an actual interest in creating excellence? Poverty argument only gets you so far. SF units cost peanuts in the grand scheme of things to train and equip- if the Indian army can drop $1bn for 6 apaches then this argument is dead. It’s all about mentality. I genuinely have to wonder about the average IQ level of Indian SF/military that look at this in 2024/5 and are pleased:

FYI for as bad as you think things are they are ALWAYS worse, if you want to delude yourselves that kit is a secondary issue but these big brains with decades of ‘experience’ are somehow master tacticians:

Yep, all that makes someone ‘special’ to big brain Indian generals is a Tavor (which most of the world’s SFs wouldn’t touch with a barge pole)

The entire Indian army’s plans seem merely to jam the tracks of the enemy with bodies whilst having a tiny amount of ‘futuristic’ kit (jet packs, robodogs etc) for parades and to impress dimwits in ministries and social media

Meanwhile NSG waiting for another big attack for modernization

Controversial take- Indians develop humiliation fetishes at a young age and only learn by getting a hard beating

NSG has barely evolved since 2017/18 and outside from some niche areas of expertise I’d doubt their dynamic fighting abilities- a lack of permanent cadre and serious training efforts severely limits it

If you remember I had pointed out atleast one or two in my posts just from their YouTube claims.One is that Major Pooniya.If you again watch his old TedX speak you will know.
We are discounting the exaggerated stories told by every uncle in military . Telling some non harmful exaggeration’s to family and friends in closed circles is a joke but telling it in open events or podcasts for business gains is another thing.

major pooniya seemed pretty level headed in his interview with maj nirmith, had some good combat stories as well. Mind pointing out what he exaggerated?

Have seen these mostly with 23 and 29 para in recent times' ops in JnK, funnily enough some of their team mates carry Opscore helmets too

This sh!t getting 7+ upvotes on a defence forum is part of the problem

2000s spec M4 with stupidly mounted sights held bt someone merely trying to flex

Trailer park trash have more spec’d and tactical weapons than this

 

[abingdonboy]

I've said this before and will say this again, 'Bisleri ka pani peete hai western SF hahaha' shit is a joke, maybe applicable to the Americans. But the brits ? They have it all - technology, mandate, skill and mindset

Delta is another world above any other unit on the planet, even SAS today will accept they are leagues behind D boys purely in terms of support delta has, they are like a military inside an already elite military

Cause it's just a photo that captures a single frame ? If two guys from the same outfit are doing it logic says that the other two also deem to posses similiar knowledge on snipers ! Or maybe they are just trainees ?! No need to go hyper over a pic. chill
