Ye mountain_rats ne shayad kuch 'SG is mostly Int. Gathering, AFSOD can/will be for action' (paraphrasing) aisa kaha tha bhot pehle

iirc two incidents come to mind one was nagrota encounter and the other one sunjwan encounter.. in nagrota one two trucks were there one with usual patka tavor gang and other one with those sprayed m4s and ballistic helmets.. even in sunjwan there were distinct groups one with tavors and the other group with sprayed m4s and mepro mounted pika lmg and wendy helmets.. now im not sure if the tavor ones were from crpf or different para unit but maybe the sprayed m4 ones were really not some normal sf ones

usual tavor patka gang sf during nagrota encounter

guys with sprayed m4s, better PCs, ballistic helmets, (2nd truck)


also two distinct groups of guys from para sf in same frame during sunjwan encounter.. one with usual tavors and ragtag chest rigs and other ones with sprayed m4s wendy helmets and somewhat better plate carriers

Bhai par woh Airborne coy. wali cheez sunke meri faati padi hai
They really think 150 airborne troops per SF unit is good for maintaining real 'Airborne Capabilities'

Not that hopeless they can form the qrt .
Unit ke khud ka qrt hona better hoga both for admin and psychologically.

I don't really get this tier system amongst teams, the only good source we have that rats guy - he denied anything like that but has contradicted himself on this too

So do all units have this tier system of teams?

Col shiv sir ne bola Tha ki they had an A team , better armed and trained .

Unofficially hoga hi , Har jagah tier system ban hi jata hai depending upon threat level and their capabilities.

Entire Indian Army is based on that.

In a regular infantry battalion you have ghataks and regular troops who are worse than ghataks.

Then some infantry units are well trained and some not so.

So i am not surprised at all if same system is there in Para.

Yup by teams I meant coy equivalent in Para, Col. Shivender mentioned ki max 20-25 bande hi handpick karke team bnaya

All of them are from 9 para sf, guys with patka, ach and other kits are support dets from the same unit - int/k9/uav/RL . Check all pics and see it for yourself, basantgarh, Samnu and countless other examples of the same

Side note - so many familiar faces on the internet are messing with my mind lol

col kanwar uses a lot of currently phased out cool guy Terms that would have sounded cool as shit during task Force bruiser/CoD4 Era XD
A,B,C teams are just company/squadron equivalent terminology Haan they can have individual roles as far as I have seen.

they could be from 9 para SF and afsod simultaneously just like delta and jsoc

AFSOD bana ke bhi agar Kashmir mei hi deploy karna tha toh nahi hi banate

what is afsod for then? india is not fighting any insurgency on foreign lands.. kashmir and northeast are the only places we will most probably see the tier 1 guys embedded with normal ones apart from any cross border raids they might be doing/ will do in future
