Indian Special Forces (archived)

Why are these guys watching each other? Mutual admiration is not situational awareness!

They aren't to discuss something? This is a solitary moment for just 2 of the team members literally a snapshot of them. You can't deduce that all they do is look lovingly into each other's eyes because of ONE picture can you?

Actually I think they were posed by the photographer, who I imagine has no idea how CT tactics work. The photog probably was just previously at a fashion show.

Oh c'mon, They are just talking about the deep meaning of life.

They should make it the standard Infantry helmet. India needs good helmets like these which would provide protection to ears too. I personally like these helmets more then the SF Para ones.

can anyone post some more pics on Nsg at BJP hq . . .

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Probably from his own pocket, Never saw these before, Probably a MICH or PASGT from outside with permission ..

PARA SF officer was wearing and only him, Can provide protection of level 3 that is only pistol rounds ..

Terrorist nor Enemy solider use pistols as their main firearm ..

=================

New generation are more lighter yet provide more protection, Now it can save a solider from 7.62 NATO ..

These are american helmets ,which were provided to indian contigent which has gone there for exercise. Along with helmets, assault rifle, knee and elbow pad were also provided by Americans,this is common norm.

Regarding fast helmet i don't think that is from his own pocket,I have noticed that in Indian forces new things first make it to the officers, then to the subordinates,eg new camo,new vest are few things, which were seen first on officers then on soldiers.Plus it might be under trials so have been handed to select few officers to test it.(i may be wrong but then i may be right)

The main purpose of helmet is to provide security from fragmentation ,bullets are secondary plus these helmets have been adopted right from Russian to German ,American to British and all the other major special forces(do not know about Chinese)so there must be something ,which
has made it favorite among special forces world over.

And on personal note, I think patka are just economical solution but not good as they leave whole top of ur head exposed.When there is a grenade blast the common tendency is to duck ur head,and this will leave top of ur head exposed to fragments plus no additional accessories, which will be quite common in future can be mounted over it.

MKU :: Manufacturers of Defence, Armed Forces and Paramilitary Solutions

Nah, I think those are indeed now standard issue. I know MKU got plenty of massive orders in the last couple of years for helmets. Seems like a very good helmet. Now, I wish accessories on helmet itself slowly but surely

I also notice, the two guys in the extreme left seem to be wearing some new camo jacket, looks very cool

reminds me of the hyperstealth design
