the 26/11 one was such a prime example of equipment faliure. That Grenade that Praveen Teotia lobbed could have saved so many more lives, Maj Sandip Unnikrishnan's life, could end the Taj op (the most complex part of the operation) by daylight and just imagine the reason why you couldnt end the situation because a grenade that's meant to explode did not.

Its all well and good but the problem with these helmets are that they are far too heavy, if its too heavy the soldiers are going to avoid wearing it, hence a 9mm rate helmet makes more sense.
According to MKU officials, the 9mm rated helmet previously supplied to IA weighed 1100 gm for small size. This AK rated helmet small size weighs 1600 gm for small size. So, 500 gm more for significant upgrade in protection.

Btw army will be forced to take some actions even if its on paper only try to not share those videos

Said the same thing when someone posted video link here and on very next page mf started posting images again.
If it gets enough attention, it won't only be that one guy facing ramifications but anyone present there who have higher rank then him.
Also the guy who took the video might face some internal disdain from the unit.

50% increase in weight is not insignificant.

Yaa, think of it this way, these helmet will go to soldiers who will not put anything on it. A fully kitted out helmet with NVG and Counterweight and Contacts will weigh more than this. So, fair trade off
