Long time yaara. Started flying yet?
On topic:-
Helmets are Indian- MKU sourced. Brilliant company with brilliant products. I had the singular luck of donning their instavest- matched a DBO level balcs/spearcut vest with plates for weight and performance and that's saying something. Pic below. Anyway of late they've finally started winning some Indian contracts for a change, the delay is shameful- an Indian company had to prove itself by winning mil contracts in the States, EU and Turkey (to name a few) before gaining acceptance here in India itself. All that while, heavy and ineffective gear kept being bought from the corrupt DPSUs.
Anyway so finally we're getting the proper helmets in slow tranches- thank the good lords. The babus got something right for once. The knee pads are definitely American in the picture. Although quite a few of our infantry units have been using similar protection along with a different tranche of ballistic helmets (dunno origin of those helmets)- see pic below.
They've been active in the strike corps- primarily XII and XI corps.
