its not abt weaponry or access to tech or resources. Its more life how u used yr weapons in yr tactics. In the LIC situations its all abt that. Its something yr friend from the SSG also tried to explain and called it 4th generation warfare!
A force may have the best of the weapons or tech the world would know. But if it doesnt know how to use them in tactics of such operations its failed. USA in Iraq is a clear example. Specially in early days where they failed to tackle almost everything after capturing Baghdad. And this all comes with experience and a diverse and up to date knowledge of area and its people.
Indian MARCOS, NSA or any other lack in this field decisively against any leading force in the planet. Because this all mentioned above comes from experience and in that SSG is on per with Israelis or Americans or the English. Indians certainly are no where in the picture. If u dont belive me then check how poorly they tacked the dec 5 attacks. 4 in 11 hrs. with Resistance finishing with a kill ratio of 3 or 4:11!
Their fighting capability is still very poor (comparing their SF performance from 2008's Mumbai to dec 2014) compared with high standards of SSG in this new 4th gen warfare.
SSW not SSG.
I dont post in this thread intentionally but when something as stupid as this guy comes again and again then i cant help it.
Lets talk about experience.The Indian SF started their successful operations from 65 when they destroyed PA batteries crossing the LOC in Kashmir to the famous air drop near Dacca.Till then they were used in conventional operations until Operation Bluestar where they faced CI for the first time which dates back to 1984.When your SF had no idea about CI ops.
Indian SF then formed NSG (this so called expert calls NSG a NSA) and did a few more CI operations in Punjab.
In late 1987 the Army and Navy SF were sent to Sri Lanka where they had a good run and developed new techniques and were the most feared by LTTE.Still in the time doing more operations and gaining more experience than your SSG with all due respect.
Indian Peace Keeping Force returned but the Indian SF had no rest as the Kashmir conflict waited.Camps inside deep forests needed to be cleared and the SF used the same tactics learned in Sri Lanka to grab a upper hand.Since then the SF has been involved in Kashmir so much so that it is burdened with ops in Kashmir.
In the Northeast where we are active since 1960 the SF had to counter guerilla warriors which lead to the formation of the best school in jungle warfare named CIJWS.
Then came the attack on a Gujrat temple and 26/11 among various other rescue operation which the NSG handled.
Marcos has been active in the Gulf of Aden and Kashmir plus they were active in Maldives and Sri Lanka.
So now i ask..how are we inexperienced?
Just because you are fighting the taliban for 7 odd years makes you no hero.We have been more active than you in the past and we still are active in Kashmir and North East.
Our SF trains with everyone from the Israelis to SEALs to GSG9 and everyone respects them.If you dont trust me then youtube is your buddy.
And guys lastly..i want to say something indirectly...our SF have been pinned down once or twice in our glorious history...but our men dont surrender.
