Indian Special Forces

Thanks for going back to the books and writing this.

What I'd also like to add is Capt Mahajan was returning from a 72h op when he was redirected to Pampore.

He had trained with Seal Team 5 in CQB and even Om Prakash was part of SG but problem was lack of coordinated training, comms, and other stuff you mentioned.

Top down entry would have been better but the problem happened during RI anyway.

Lastly I don't think 9 Para or any other army SF unit is adequately trained in RI/CQB tbh. They're more suited for these ranger type cross border/long range recon ops and stuff.

Whenever I've read instances of them doing cqb before, they've been found to be lacking most of the time.

But still a good op considering they finished off the trts and cleared all hostages with such minimal support.

Afterall balls is what's keeping this nation alive!

Captain Mahajan died of exhaustion. This is an open secret. The guy was overworked. Should have never been in that Op.

Unpopular opinion: the 25,000 SF allowance should be ammended in a way that you can only spend it on PPE and get refunds when you show proof of purchase.

Absolutely that would improve things

Something similar in Russian units ongoing thats why we see lot of diversity in camo and ppe in Russian units

Some weeks back Hellfire (if you know him) on X suggested the same, some IDF units also do this

Let soldiers buy the gear - you just pay them that amount
But I think that still will be spent on MAA DURGA ENTERPRISES
Mindset on equipment and exposure to quality is required.

Armasen tactical etc companies will not stay silent.
They will go and highly advertise their products.

Yeah, he was advocating extra allowance. My point is to amend the existing SF allowance for the same. This is will leave no chance of backnforth negotiations as MoD doesn't have to pay extra from their pockets.

Hell armasen could even become our domestic cyre equivalent if this becomes a thing (Won't be as good as cyre but will be very decent, more equivalent with agilite standard if armasen expanded)

sadly jawans are not trusted with money at all by our officers, and I don't think this will be changing for a while

Edit: will be a slightly different scenario for SF I hope

SF sent a good amount SF operators into NSG So that they are trained for these roles Col Shivender Told his unit are known for Sending most operators into NSG.

The point here is what the army is doing to use them for the skills acquired in NSG.

Brig Sanjay Thakur mentioned it to Yash Mor in their second interview that once a hostage rescue situation occured in Srinagar and they had boys from 9 - all those who were available and had the NSG experience, they went in and cleared the multistory structure top to bottom and it was a success
