The scary part first. Brit in the video mentions 'Coalition forces' in the context of joint COIN ops with Indians.

The following is what I found strange. If some better informed member can help me understand why the people are doing the way they are doing it in these videos.

All Indian SF run fast towards first available cover at the same time and at the top of their capability
Then all begin to slow down at about half the distance to nearest cover. Could this cause the whole
team to expose themselves to risk all at the same time and everybody reaches the safe point at the
same time. Also at no point are they in any position to shoot while moving forward. Their positioning
to bring down fire on the opponent is very small because of this form of advance.

here the first few minutes of video shows how people move in with the advantage of fire cover with
least amount of exposure. But the single file advance may have its own problems. The opponent
has to set aim with minimal amount of change while the SF team members in the back of the file
cannot bring to bear their own firepower. Once they down the door and enter one at a time, again
the cover is not there. Team is relying only on the speed of ingress. However once inside they are
fast at covering all points of the imaginary room.
Also I like the fact that we have different types of schools for training SF for different purposes with SF guys getting some great exposure both within and outside India.
