Sorry for,an off topic comment but I think IA should seriously consider to set up a dedicated sniper training school.They can take help from US Army if it is needed.

That is not off topic but this is what i thought for years.Army has a Sniper School in Madhya Pradesh and good training is imparted there.But i think we should train with US Army in this.Moreoever the use of snipers in operations has only increased in the last decade with now IA using Snipers on helis targetting terrorists.

I will take it as a compliment.Thank you.I am 23 and i have a long way to go for that.

The Commanding Officers rate them as SF only but they are not.
Well..the size wont be increased but they will get equipped like Para SF in the near future.Army is short of budget to equip 2 companies and they are specialised troops.

We should infact reduce the number of operators and concentrate on better equipping them.



In who?..I am sorry i am online after 2 weeks kindly share the articles with me.

Well the articles are not really new, there was this book on SF which claimed of training not being in par with other SFs and some random rejection rates, I started doubting the book when it stated websites and quite possibly blogs as sources.

It was a complement alright and I did mean that too,you should seriously consider.By the way,I have always wanted to join the army after meeting Gen Shankar Roychoudhry in our school.I even appeared for NDA but coudn't clear the aptitude test.

Though I doubt we have anything like the USMC scout sniper?

Mate,i am no one to claim anything infront of a Lt General of the IA but i think he was highly critical.

Para SF now in 2014 are by far the best SF in the entire South Asian region that too by a big margin and that is what matters.I dont see Seals going on a 1 on 1 with Para.We just need our SF to be better than our enemies and i think we are a lot better equipped and trained when we compare with both the Pakistani and Chinese SF.

The 5 man teams excluding the Platoon leader which the Para SF deploy are the best small teams that any Army cand deploy in the region.You should watch the NDTV documentary where they covered this in detail.

It is a constantly evolving process and in next 5 years you will see Indian SFs match with the best in the business when talking about equipment too.

Lastly,i would say that Para SF is a ruthless force.The training which they get makes them ruthless.Some of the things they face can only be compared to Spetsnaz forget about Seals.

General Choudhary...He is a straigh forward talking man.I love his moustache.

Nothing like it.

Yeah,I know about the MHow sniper hub.But as far as I have heard from my sources,it is more like a designated marksman training centre than a sniper school of US Army.But I would love to be corrected if you know otherwise.

MHOW or the Military Headquater Of War has a infantry school where the Sniper course is carried out for 90 days.The people i have met have always maintained that it is one of the toughest courses a infantryman ever does.

The best Snipers are with the Para and NSG in the country and i seriously have no idea where they train.

What i can confirm is that in the year 2000-2001 a few US Army instructors came over to MHOW to train IA snipers.Right now as we speak there are many US SOF personnel involved in training the Indian SF and israelis too.The media made a mess of the issue in the past so everything is kept a secret.

Alright!!Now we are talking.By the way,last year I visited both Sikkim and AP and the good thing is that sanghars have largely been & beeing replaced with both concrete and steel structures.But the roads were still the same like they were 5 years ago.

BTW on the Army Day a Seargent Major from 9 Para SF got SM for his brave actions on 10 January 2013...Now on 8th January our 2 soldiers were beheaded.

So,that means the 9thPara SF was called soon after and they carried out some operations on the LOC.
