Defence Expo 2012. Armour by Starwire

Star Wire manufactures the following bulletproof vests and helmets along with many defensive products. Following are all made of Kevlar. First helmet looks like German helmets of WW2. The jacket and the armour plate weigh approximately 7 kg and 2 kg respectively.

That's the upgrades from the last summer. It's not the fully upgraded mark 2.
Mate even the fully operational Mk-2 will look like the same Mk-1 except the new mine plough added in its front and anti-aircraft gun. And maybe you can notice the new sights and AWS thats it. No alternation it its design.

OMG!!! 7th Generation tactical weapons unleashed.
These were the primary weapons with which people used to fight before the introduction of rifles, and they are not less than Gods for any warrior(including your future soldiers). Ask a Gorkha what his Kukhri means to him. Those were the real soldiers who used to fight with these weapons. Daad deta hun unki himmat ki. With an armor(mostly chain-mail) or body armor weighing not less than 20 kgs, Sheild of 7-8 kg and their primary weapon( a sword or lance I guess not less than 5 kg) with a pure uncomfortable metal helmet. And many other thing they were to fight the enemy face to face! Can you imagine that! It need courage man. Mental as well as physical.

No training is complete without them. A person may be able to fire from a rifle but cant move can perform with a sword. Just go once and pick up a real sword and shield in each of your hands and you`ll feel what I`s talking about.
I love those weapons and always search for them where ever I can get them. I love to practice with them just the basics. Usse zada mere bas ki baat ne h.

I said all this because I thought you were cracking a joke over those weapons and I respect them the most above all. If you were not then dont mind this.

Out of all the things only the Patka is admirable to me with increased protection from top. Other are useless. That body armor is too heavy.

Indian SM Group and RAFAEL JV on Bullet proof Plates and Helmets..





The Company is specialized in making BP plates and Helmets of Boron Carbide..




This is the vest they showed, though its not very impressive just regular vest already used in Indian armed forces.

Boron carbide is expensive. Most armours both for vehicles and for infantry use Aluminium-oxide or silicium carbide.
