Understanding Para SF's CQB practices

They are doing everything by the book, everything their manuals says is correct. But here's the problem - the rear element has no clean angle to return fire if a millitant were to pop with a machine gun or throws a grenade out the window. By the time they pulled back, the enemy had repositioned.

In the second pic, The last man is nearly touching the wall, meaning they have no room to maneuver if the team needs to break contact. Also, ideally, the breacher should be protected behind a cover man, or at least positioned at an angle to reduce fragmentation risk.

Yes we do see the rear guy keeping a low ready while watching the window, but - It assumes the enemy is static, unaware, and waiting.

Those who still cling to outdated techniques, those who refuse to adapt, are signing the death warrants of the men who will follow their orders.

Every time I see Para SF doing CQB, I see that the team is too clustered, creating a single point of failure.

If the enemy inside is prepared, they have ample time to set up crossfires, plant explosives, or bottleneck the entry point. This is exactly what happened during 2016 Pampore attack.

I am no expert but I'll tell you this, that it doesnt need a staff offcier to figure out that they need to stagger formation and space in
