Indian Special Forces

They are MARCOS. It's the same camo pattern as previous exercises.

On a side note MARCOS has standardized their kit to NATO standards. PARA SF except 1-2 units that look like Tier 2 Israeli SF aren't even in the same league as these guys.

NATO tier 2 maybe (like Greeks and Romanians) for MARCOs

You are delusional if you think Paras are even in the same century as a NATO SOF of any tier

If we are lucky we deserve a small thrashing by China.

But most importantly only if lessons can be learnt for a major war.

Bcoz the way this Army is going it is looking like School Boy Scouts.

There will never be a full war with China

Delhi will keep quietly ceding territory and strategic value to the CCP

Growing up is realising Nehruvian Pacifism isn’t
idealogical but a pragmatic compulsion for Indian elected leaders, I doubt we can even imagine the depth of the rot inside the Indian military- there’s ZERO public oversight or accountability in these things. Who is to say the declared ORBAT is real? After the fall of the Cold War you’d hear about ex Warsaw pact generals selling off entire warehouses of military stockpiles to the highest bidder.

When is the last time anyone conducted an audit of all the ranks of the Indian military? Read up about the ghost battalions of the Afghan security forces- Western taxpayers gave unit funds to COs who invented soldiers and pocketed their salaries

This is before you even get into the flagging every Indian ‘elite’ unit does to an insane level in every video you watch of them demonstrating CQB

It is mind blowing that these units have all been doing this work for decades in JK and NE yet are perhaps one of the least capable at it of all their peers in the world. I’d love to read a management case study on how you screwup this badly, 10,000s of officers have overseen this even all those ones getting their social media clout nowadays, and done nothing about it.

Yeah, also this establishes the fact that you can’t compare Para SF directly with units like SEALs, SAS, Delta Force, or Green Berets.
Para SF has primarily focused on:

• Jungle warfare
• Pseudo-operations (similar to covert ops, where soldiers disguise themselves as enemy forces to fight from within—a well-established counterinsurgency tactic)
• Heliborne insertion and extraction
• Counterinsurgency operations

Based on their combat history, they are closer to WWII-era SAS or the Chindits rather than modern special operations forces.

However, Para SF shares the most similarities with the Rhodesian SAS, especially in their approach to counterinsurgency, deep-penetration raids, pseudo-ops, and unconventional warfare.

So the most trained personnel in the Indian army failed at literally the first hurdle and at the most basic of things?

Every time the mask slips you see how inept these guys really are- any actual conflict against a serious enemy (Pakistanis are definitely not that) will rock their world

Won’t even try to pretend I won’t take pleasure in seeing their tears about losing their special privileges like cantonements and batmen (hopefully) in a few years. If they want to be colonial era LARPers they can go play at it somewhere else. I just wish Modi had the balls to take away their polo and golf courses

There have been Indians who have done excellent service abroad for Russia, Ukr and France in the forigen legion and we have interviews of them talking sensibly about soildering. We do not even hire them for training ?
Infact we will never, India will bleed by a thousand cuts of it's own ego let alone those funny bearded men with AKs jumping around Kashmir to attack our soilders. They will be delt off, but any near-peer conflict and we will see history rhyming with itself as it did with the Tukric invasions
