This is like 3-4 years old, they don't use model 1974 anymore(except for training)...patkas are still in use however

 

[Scramjet]

Does anyone have the pics of our N-E based SF bns using helmets ?

Does M1974 helmet provide ballistic protection against 9mm rounds?

 

[AVINASH4061]

Instead of creating a tier 1 force from scratch instead we can just make 9th or both 9th and 10th to tier 1 lvl .is that a good idea?

Bollocks of an idea. And that is exactly what is wrong with the keyboard warriors and strategists.

Only if you're lucky enough

Very rarely we actually see SF units from the North East wearing helmets, is there any particular reason ? @AVINASH4061 sir
Is it due to weather conditions or does it impede movement and awareness in the jungles?

Don't know what's the compulsion for using different stuff. "Train like you fight" should be the mantra.

I guess the ACH are not available in enough numbers?

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

I was asking that whether they are getting better stuff than our men for example command structure, weapons, support units, tactics/trg...

Their utilisation is even worse than Para SF due to the fact that average Paki Infantryman is poorly trained and motivated for the challenge that Taliban pose to them.

Taliban are phenomenal fighters they are not what we face in Kashmir and always they have good numbers and equipments.

Reminds me of an old quote by a former Spetsnaz...
Russian Infantry - Not good
Russian Special Forces - Very Good

 

[Aditya Roy]

They have Comtacs, but numbers I don't know, posted earlier by Falconslayer

Yes, don't think they are yet acquired in bulk or haven't been standardized yet. This is from their recent exercise(in Feb) with Turkish SFs. The Turks have them, unlike the SSG(Zarrar unit).

Some pics from the exercise(SSG-Black)

Why wear black?

 

[Aditya Roy]

Why wear black?

Their Zarrar company wears Black, not sure why. They specialize in hostage rescue.

1. The NE Units don't have it.
2. Even if they had, it's extremely difficult to walk in those jungles with the Helmets on at all times.
3. It would be prudent to put them in anticipated risky areas and similar kind of ops.

 

[Scramjet]

These pictures are more than 14 years apart ! (going by the internet sources)
What SG got back then, NSG is getting it only recently
I can only hope that SG still gets the stuff they want.
