Umm.....I am talking about dedicated air assault unit not airborne unit, the two are VERY different.......
Yes I know, our own "Airborne" division was used for Air Assault but the 2 concept is very different. the 101 keep their airborne tab for namesake only, not because of anything else......
Well, depending on the scale, running tank alone no doubt will be a suicide but what if you are facing a combine force??
Problem with tanks are they are vulnerable if they are alone, in fact any independent unit are vulnerable if they were left alone, that's what Yom Kippur taught us. Hence we are forming Joint Brigade in the US instead of forming a Unison division
Well in that case, India has nothing that can really compare to your 101st Airborne. The IA is only just now playing with the idea of setting up such units which will not come into play for atleast a decade.
