Why should they think so?

The Paras are certainly pleased with the M4s.

Ever saw the future weapons documentary, Israelis steal tavors if they get an m4 from juniors. M4 is as old as insas. make way for SCAR -H.

I asked the same question but somehow the seniors thought my question was silly and instead resorted to sarcastic "we knowbetter-you-know-****" type of talk downs.

No one did that.

It was very politely told to you SIR that no one wears these things for combat operations...Have a look at these pics from Kashmir and let me know if u wanna see more pics to be clear on this.

And here are the Gurkhas...just incase you thought only Gurkhas wear these in combat

Its an exercise mate...I dont know why they are wearing it but in real combat they dont.

They are wearing a red lanyard coz they are Gurkhas.Every regtt has their own colours.

Despite heavy discussion and trolling regarding the head gears,still have some doubt in ma brain

Did anybody here notice the helmets over here, a lots of them be it camo one or norml one are attached with the NVGs holding stations, if it's not atleast holes are der to fix the clips over there and our GOI is not at all going to giv each n every troops a NVGs for their personal standard equipmnt . So i assume that rifles,helmets,kneepads all are given by the US counter part as a friendly gesture.

Any correction will be appreciated.

I am not privy to current exercise information but the exercises that were held in 2010, helmets, kneepads, vests were issued by the US Mil complete with camouflage covers. One can just search Y/A 2010 and you will see the equipment loaned/lent to us. I MUST ADD though, that after 2010, our soldiers got better personal safety equipment . IN fact, YA 2012 held in India had our soldiers wearing camouflage covers on the psuedo M1 type helmets, in addition to kneepads and elbow pads. MUVs (Multiple Utility Vests) were alse seen to be getting of better design and build. All I can say - and I hope all will agree with me - that with every exercise with other countries ( who have the equipment to show), our soldiers are getting better and better PSEs.

As regards your point about NVG sockets on the helmets, if you observe all the pics of the troops in airborne exercises (para-drops), you will see the clips covered with tape. On defence forum India, there are lovely videos of our troops in exercise action - well shot and a lots of closeups.

htp://d1.static.dvidshub.net/media/thumbs/photos/1011/338275/450x299_q75.jpg sir this link for Y/A 2010 shows pic w/o indian camo,whats the deal, scraves cant be wrapped so neatly around helmets! BTW by javelin, the guy is wearing US woodland totally different to Indian one now. Maybe the paras moved israeli helmet cover they use and attached it to us one?
