Combat experience matters more than training: Kanwar
In a conversation with Raj Shamani, Shivender Kanwar, ex-Special Forces operative from 7 PARA SF and counter-terrorism expert, emphasised that combat experience matters more than perfect training. He noted while China may have large numbers and advanced gear, its soldiers lack real-world exposure. As Kanwar said, “Until you've fought, you’re not really a soldier. You’re just prepared in theory.”
