Born to fight, trained to kill: Indian Army team clinches gold in Britain’s Cambrian Patrol exercise

No. Rather it confirms my contempt for Indian ability to fight - excluding Sikhs.

Ok, feel good and enjoy.

Who are they though? I know they were born in Nepal to fight for other armies which currently are -

British Gurkhas
Brunei Gurkhas
Nepali Gurkhas - their homeland
Indian Gurkhas


British Gurkhas - Guns for hire?

Please show some respect, towards, your own armed forces.

I have enough respect for my armed forces. But I may reconsider it the day they start fighting pigeons and balloons. But some fools across the border won't question their forces in the fear of being called traitors. .

That might make sense in a country like UK. To well off. Too many young live it soft. Too many young have other opportunities. Too many prefer Club Med 18-30 holidays then grunting in fields with guns for few pounds. For those tax pounds you can get 3 Gurkhas for one reluctant British recruit.

But India. I.3 billion. That is lot of humanity. 750 million males. 375million of fighting age. 187 million for for military service. 200 million under poverty line. Surely those jobs should go to Indian's then hiring foreigners?

Or do the Indian's not have the gonads?

I do not understand the rationale for hiring Nepali Gorkhas. Keep in mind India has a significant population of Gorkhas

With the recent accomplishment by a team of Gorkha Rifles, every nation in the world will come to know about the colossal strength of the Indian Army.

Setting up their unmatched combat skills in plain view, a team from the Indian Army's Gorkha Rifles has secured a gold medal in Exercise Cambrian Patrol organised by the British Army.

The exercise, which is touted to be a standout amongst the most difficult ones in the world, saw the eight men team of the second Battallion of 8 Gorkha Rifles outperforming the other Army men who took part in it.

On the micro-blogging website Twitter, the British Army acknowledged the feat by the Indian soldiers as it put out a video of our Army men receiving their respective medals.

"Congratulations to 2nd Btn 8 Gorkha Rifles on their gold medal at #CambrianPatrol. Consistently superb," the British Army in Wales tweeted.

Post the medal ceremony, the 2/8 Gorkhas handed over a traditional khukri to the Brits, which happens to be the central element in the regimental insignia of the Gorkha Rifles.

An annual international military patrolling exercise, the Cambrian Patrol is conducted in the rugged Cambrian Mountains of Wales.

Making up for the toughest challenges for modern-soldiers, it is a mission and task oriented exercise that is carried out on a 55-km long track.

As per the rules, all the patrols have to carry their full personal kits and finish up the tasks within 48-hours.
