Indian Special Forces

Thatswhy i never abuse the Defence minister or Prime Minister..At a time our Chiefs should be asking more they are returning money..What does the poor minister know about NVG and Helmets??

There was one defense minister who seemed to know but he's in heaven now.

In any case it is the force's responsibility for gear and all, can't have to Govt telling them how to do their own job.

Gear for the boys is not some big ticket purchases like 114 jets or expensive warships and submarines, little by little they can purchase a standard set of gear and weapon and equip the boys with it.

It's even cheaper if they had a proper special forces group like marcos, they can import also since it's small quantities, maybe even a tri-service order if it's guns.

This is where i disagree. Its extremely apparent that the current crop of Mil Command are Modi Ideological Yes men. They aint asking for shit. they are going to be told what to do. The days of Manekshaw telling the PM for F off are over.

If this is the case then why do they return the money?

Why not use it for equipping SF knowing very very well that even this year we will get ambushed?

I will not get into Agniveers bcoz that is a different and a smaller problem?

Except from giving funds what can the ignorant minister do?

I am not saying that under Modi the Army has become better ofcourse it is not and i can tell you 10 others things that the govt has done wrong over a mug of beer in Mumbai but what about modernisation.

Whatever Modi is …i dont think any General can walk upto him and say i need funds and he wont give funds.

Ok so how does this sound:
I think we should not go back to original 3-4 SF units for PARA and also not this current 15 SF units
We should have permanently 'location' based maybe 7-10 units with a lower troop strength per unit [<400] (not to be treated as a battalion)

And pull out that shatrujeet brigade out of that 'brigade' system and turn it into an ARMY SF HQ or Command which can be linked to AFSOD
Separate out Airborne and keep the support units of Shatrujeet brigade with SF (or maybe divide, Airborne also requires it)

More Ideas like: Joint selection, Or maybe rotation of squads among units (limited to units with similar role)

Correct me if this sounds BS
