BPJ is actually lightweight nowadays as it a stripped down plate carrier than the bulky ones used few years ago.
PATKA is heavy but needed as it gives much needed survivability.
Those soldiers in the video were definitely not wearing body armor. And as you can see from your pic, the patka does not protect the ears and the lower back area of the head. Furthermore it does not give top cover.
The new helmets do also not provide adequate protection for ears but are much lighter than the older M1s.
INSAS is more comparable to FN FNC than ultra modern SCAR H or TAR 21. For that kind of sleek gun OFB has tried it's hand with this
INSAS is absolutely not in the same league of the Tavor...
Its heavier, bad ergonomics, larger, less ammo, no inbuilt optics, worse build quality etc etc etc...
Why do you think do SF units prefer it over the INSAS?
