Kunal as discussd earlier that the patkha used by RR is effective agaist AK bullets then why dont we use if for regular infantry instead of the vintage steel helmets ?
PATKA is one of the best Head protection gear in the world, But it have its limitations, As it does not provide cover above the head.


Bullet Proof Patkas, BulletProof Patka, Bullet Proof Products


Hence it does not protect you from sharpnals and stones or bullets from above..

Deginers need to see this..

Also one more important thing is to use titanium allow with composite material instead of steel only to lower the weight and increase protection level..

Worlds one of the top of the self Military helmet is Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH)
& It only provides 9mm bullet protection .

US army is replacing there PASGT helmet with The Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) , MICH ranges in weight from about 3 lbs (1.36 kg) (size medium) to just over 3.6 lb (1.63 kg) (extra large). It uses a new, more advanced type of Kevlar and provides increased protection against handgun rounds.

Now the INDIAN Patka helmet weights 1.4Kg to 1.5Kg. PROTECTION : the front protects the forehead by defeating fire of 7.62x39mm (AK-47 family of weapons) from a distance of 10 metres. The remaining circumference of the head is protected against fire of 9mm family of weapons from distance of 10 metres. The trauma pads provided can absorb the shock/trauma in the event of bullet hit.

The new ECH is no heavier than the current helmets, offers better frag protection and can stop an AK47 round. But how much head and neck trauma is caused when a projectile traveling up to 2,400 feet per second slams into the side of it?Military officials have downplayed this but havn't presented any test data that shows the affects of catching a rifle bullet with your head

Here some idea:

“I saw something to my five-o’clock and called up to the gunner. As soon as I turned, I got hit. The round went through my Kevlar,” he said, pointing to a point above and behind his right ear.The Kevlar altered the course of the bullet, channeling the bullet around his head and down the back of his neck.Harvey said the force of the impact slammed his head into the vehicle, cutting a gash on his cheek. He went down and noticed blood flowing from his left cheek. In his shock, he said he thought the bullet had passed through his face.

ell when bullet hit the carrier plate or the BP vest the impact on chest does break rips, It can also damage internal organs and cause Internal bleeding, Indian army vest only comes with the BP plate not truma plates..

So how the hell that patka helmet could protect the fragile brain from internal damage , The AK bullet may not penetrate the fore head but person 'll die of the impact :shocked:. I think thats the reason no other country's army use Patka type jugad
they are wearing bullet proof metal plates on there fore head & calling it BF helmets :sad:.

but SF is using trauma plates?Plus how is the stoppage of ak bullet by western helmets?which is the best in the league which helps reduce trauma also?
