Had some time to put this together. Proposal for our very own SOPMOD-style upgrade package for existing Para SF M4A1s. Will explain the rationale that went into some of the choices for parts shortly, will expand this post into a thread at that point. pic.twitter.com/Mc698h26ZR

Frankly do we need this all these weapons in non-disturbed areas? I think body armor, comm equip , fit clothing & better transportation is what we need the most. Especially clothing looks some what totally unfit , we are copying western forces model but for our conditions they look more unsuited and might end up hindering movement.
Who said they're deployed in non-disturbed areas? These are not regular CRPF troops but QAT which is the special forces unit of CRPF and they indeed need such gear since they wouldn't be handling regular ops but specialized interventionsFrankly do we need this all these weapons in non-disturbed areas?

Isnt CRPF under army command in disturbed areas? As such dont they have access to better gear.Who said they're deployed in non-disturbed areas?

This is how regular CRPF deployed in naxal areas look like

CRPF with proper Eye protection, gloves and com set... Army and even paras should learn from these guys.
With the ongoing budgetary constraints, there's no way we could afford to equip IA with such kinda gear. We should start with the frontline troops deployed along LoC & LAC since they're already receiving Sig-716s, Negevs and Carl Gustavs. But, it's high time Para SF should achieve standardization since I've noticed commandos in the same unit using different gear and equipmentCRPF with proper Eye protection, gloves and com set... Army and even paras should learn from these guys.
PS: need better head gear that includes integrated ear protection
Following the events of 26/11, the NSG undertook a program of modernization across its arsenal of equipment. The H&K MP5 being one of the primary weapon systems of the unit, received a substantive upgrade. In later years, this kit was standardized across the unit. (+ Thread👇) pic.twitter.com/2kmjNe2ydB
