Indian Special Forces

[Hydra7.62]

I keep saying it but having ‘new’ kit isn’t enough, they only have the basics but clearly don’t have the employment tactics to go with it

Where are the med packs? The chem-lights? The IR strobes? The drop bags? The flash bangs? The don’t even look like they have side arms here

Oh but but this is just training we have seen some of this before, well why doesn’t a professional freaking force consider these things standard?

Frankly I’ve never seen an Indian unit even close to what ASEAN SOF are now forget Tier 3 in the US, Tier 1/2 are another galaxy and I doubt India will ever get on par

What you're stating is right, I agree with you. We all are frustrated with the current state of our special forces compared to the rest of the world.

I have said this before and I will say it again, In case of MARCOS there is still a lot of room for improvement. But, they are the only force which have shown significant improvement in the last few years.

I can't and won't advocate for thier tactics and equipment profiling, there is still a long way to go.

There are making mistakes but, atleast they are open to learning and adopting tactics and equipments, unlike other SFs which are still stuck in 90s.

I am attaching some pics for reference:

IA claim to be professional and discipline, uniformity is the ultimate embodiment of that but you get 10 soldiers and you’ll get 30 different standards of equipment.

The excuse they haven’t got money for these basic things doesn’t ring true anymore, besides don’t they have 10000s of people whose entire job is to literally manage logistics and inventory?

So what’s left? They are unbelievably inept? Corrupt?

We all know that

It doesn’t make it any less valid to point out their weaknesses. Being less sh!t than paras isn’t hard, they are not there to look good on Reddit but do a job.

Poor tactics and poor skills is going to leave them messed up and the mission failed

If someone could please find that footage of MARCOs doing a drill at night on a civilian ship that would be great. Flagging each other nonstop

Someone write a twitter thread on nods , active and passive aiming and it's advantage in such scenarios.
Lets Push some sense in there .

Can try

Wtf is this ??they uploaded it seriously?

Guess what else they released to the local media!
A drone footage with body of a KIA soldier visible

My expectations were low but they are going even lower

Don't lower them just drop all expectations altogether
Remember when Northern Command released a video with a PAFF song in the background to give a 'Befitting Reply' to PAFF online

 

[IWIarad11]

In that too their admins forget to blur the name tag

Also no control over guys like wolfdevilbajwa, no dedicated team to spot such people both ours and the enemy chapri soldiers while other countries have such teams.
(Fun Fact: our guy wolfdevilbajwa was a friend of Late Hav. Neelam Chib 9 Para SF)

Why did bajwa not learn something good from his friend?

I think we didnt evolve after Brits left to be honest.

No sniper schools..No night fighting.

Just upgrading AR coz that makes them think they are cool.

An Alternate take will be lot of our old big officers were a product of Royal Army colleges and they were trained by Royal Army officers, since they have an expeditor approach they same seen in our early days of Army ops where we are ready to cut out Enemy Land. But after Independence our Political started to have an say in Military from early Nehru fiasco in 1962 and subsequent bond between Army and Political nature of our country where we are started to go with NAM and no war bullshit, our Army slowly lost that old nature and started to move into this new rigid bullshit where lot of officers can escape scrutiny where under their watch fatal incidents occured.

They didn't release it after the op, it was released mid op and thought that body was of a terrorist but then they retrieved and identified.
RIP

Poor handling of information is going on for long time. Even GoI can't able to figure out an way to advertise the policy.

Huh? To maintain a static cordon at night NVG won’t work? So stopping operations and letting terrorists escape in the night once again is the answer?

What’s the definition of doing the same thing again and again expecting a different result? You’d think after 30++ freaking years these guys would change their tactics even slightly or learn some lessons but then again it’s these same big brains;

Unfortunately we are going backwards and generals were crying we will win with X weapon when an indigenous weapon went to endless trials.

 

[GhatiyaOperator]

Don't think they will be creating whole another SF regiment after theaterization, SF units will be divided among these commands with some permanently or rotating units with AFSOD

The best we can then get is to convert some in each command.
(Assuming no. of commands lower)
Example: If 4 SF units are given to a command
One will be SF, one reserve, another airborne and another ranger type

Please correct if I sound stupid

How many freaking YEARS have the ‘Gucci gang’ been saying this?

It is SOP to stop operations when it gets dark and you wonder how so many terrorists get away?

Americans take pride in ‘owning the night’, this is a relatively low cost option in 2025

Imagine these jokers going against a peer force that has even rudimentary night vision, it will be like shooting fish in the barrel for them

Forget “peer force” I highly doubt the current IA could handle a militant outfit like the 90s Kashmir proxies or the LTTE.

 

[KumaoniReborn]

You are right coz we are using a tech the US used for Op Desert Storm.

This is the latest version.

Forget US evn the Ukrainians are merging the NVG and Thermal.

Its called application of your resources which we dont do!

The whole world is using NVGs. Indians seem to be allergic to modernizing and hold on to BS theories like “my race is more marital than you saar”. Well guess what, non martial kashmiris have kicked indian military ass left right and center since 2023.

 

[KumaoniReborn]

for Para maybe, but MARCOS I've heard were perfoming amazing after that in Kashmir

For the whole Indian Army I meant. If you read about how IA adapted in Sri Lanka you will find a stark contrast in fdiffcernecr to current attitudes. When they wanted new guns, they got new guns. Now? They know night fighting would possibly end the kashmir insurgency for good but refuse to use their brains.

I must know how retarded the average indian is if this is the people who are running the army in 2024

you’ll find more tactical innovation and change in the 3 years of the sri lanka conflict than you will since 2000 in Kashmir

We had a sniper school till the 70s.
