Their is even a bigger one ..

This picture is very old, New designs are already in use and the once used in surgical strikes were more advance and compact ..

Indian Army was interested and experimenting with these computer system back in early 2000, Its mass usage started perhaps somewhere in 2010 within SF ..

SF using computers at field is not new ..

Thats the BEL designed hand held computer. It is connected to Radio set for data transmission. It does have a set of data encrypting EEPROM for secure transmission and receiving.

This is one of the coolest and most professional looking plate carrier I have seen an Indian soldier wearing. Hope they make something close to this a standard issue in the Indian Army (with a Bhabha Kavach to go with it :drool: )

Wonder why we never think about developing a modular system like the American MOdular Light-weight Load carrying Equipment (MOLLE). We can have something like PALS webbing on all plate carriers and rucksacks. Its going to be so much better than the standard sewed-on pouches our current BPJs have.

As usual, Brishit media is jizzing all over the Internet and IDRW being complete and utter cunts are lending them a helping hand.

These helmets are NOT designed to face 7.62×39 rounds, especially the armour piercing ones.

Then why the hell are fanboys always asking for helmets? Dafuq?
For multiple reasons. Just because it can't deal with 7.62 rounds at point blank doesn't mean it won't be able to stop the same round at distances like 200-300 meters. Lighter weight, much improved blunt force trauma protection, shrapnel and splinter protection, easier to mount NVGs among others.

Our forces should rethink their stance of fancy helmets. They look fancy but doesn't offer protection. Stick with patkas which can stop ak bullets with ease

Isn't there a way to shape this Patkas in something good looking than literal buckets ?

Patka has proved its mettle from time to time. In my opinion, we shouldn't redesign the shape of the patka, however, there is always scope of improvisation only in terms metal used in the patka. You mean like this ?
