Ok so I got some info from some sources. Apparently the bag above is a DI product but not sure if it will be in issue soon. I Guess we can say bye bye to soldiers carrying wicker baskets.
the other thing is there is a version 2 of the current vest being issued in small numbers but it is only the vest with sewn on Ammunition pouches, no Molle.
the Molle Version is still in the trial stages. There are also third parties making plate carriers akin to crye JPC but in Myanmar camo pattern for special forces.
there is also reports of ballistic plates being tested on field. Both ceramic and steel plates are being tested but DI favours steel because it could handle more hits before being compromised compared to ceramic. However they still haven’t solve the issue of bullets fragmenting or spalling and flying all over the place when it hit the steel plate. It reportedly whithstand up to 7.62mm rounds too. So I think we can expect SAPI plates in the next two years.
overall some good news on the personal equipment front
