Indian Special Forces

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

Money talks and India has money. The fact F insas is even thought of means they have, will have the money. India doesn't need to wait till 2022 to equip IA soldiers with ballistic helmets, etc. Iraq, Afghanistan, etc examples are given to the whole stress in hot climates. Their soldiers are wearing proper gear in hot weather. Indians can too.

Man,Iraqi SF doesnt do road marches of 30 plus kilometeres.You are comparing Indian Infatryman to a SF operator in Iraq whose primary skill is CQB.

Who would wanna wear his BPJ,Backpack,plus kgs of other equpment for a mock up???

Moreoever F-Insas will take a decade...we dont have money to equip all soldiers in 3 years like you are suggesting.

No, I dont mean equip all of them at one go. Start right NOW. This should have happened 5-10 years ago.

Give them something that doesnt belong in the Vietnam, Korean war.

This isn't something Indian soldiers cant do. Israelis do it, NATO soldiers doing it everyday. Give these guys proper vests and helmets. These tins can helmets are probably heavier without the added protection.

Im not even talking about Iraqi SF.

Iraqi soldiers are patrolling just like NATO soldiers, etc. with their gear.

And what do you think F-INSAS is for?

Why couldn't they start giving them these things NOW, or 5 years ago. It's about to be 2014 and there are Indian soldiers with these. Like they're in the Korean war!

God only knows how long this F-INSAS thing is going to even take. Give these soldiers proper helmets, vest. You dont need to wait on everything in the F-INSAS program.

The answer to your why has excatly the same answer as to why hasnt the Rafael being inducted till now..why isnt the Mig 21 being replaced when our young pilots are dying?

And stop polluting the thread with these pics.

IA might be in a situation if this program keeps getting delayed, because those tin can helmets, INSAS rifles, antique ammo holders, etc. are going to be it's MIG-21 waiting to be replaced by LCA, MMRCA.

The last thing I want to see is regular IA soldiers near 2020 like this. We're already in 2014!!

All of this is riding on one insane program.

It will only be safe if we assume that the programme is gonna be delayed considering how things happen in india.In the meanwhile the IA is inducting various weapons and equipments.Like there are currently 2 new helmets with the IA apart from the Patka,UAVs,hi tech survellience sevices and BPJs are all being inducted.

Patkas are given to few soldiers doing CT ops in Kashmir.

Regular IA soldier are getting ballistic helmets when ever F-INSAS takes shape. <<< No clue

The equipment required is already available in country but the OFB and the gravy train have scuttled their employment. So tough luck.

Patkas are given to most soldiers in CI ops.

Patkas are given to most soldiers in CI ops.

Which are few compared to the bulk of IA.

RR only uses Patka and Ghataks also use Patka.

Such a shame the Sherpa is almost entirely cropped out. The journos/photographers who go to these events completely miss the woods through the trees- ahhhhH!! Why haven't we got extensive snaps of this beast on its first public outing???
