Indian Soldier wearing nonstandard ATACS-FG

>>28047442
I actually love their helmets

>>28047442
I always love the fact that with units that have to do any oper8in you NEVER see the INSAS

>>28047594
apparently theyre kinda effective

>>28047608
they dont even like issue insas to "ghatak" counter insurgency platoons, operational areas dont have any insases

>>28047621
Really? where did you hear that

>>28047651

dead naxals, i think ?

The Naxalites have been giving these guys a run for their money for a long time now. I would have blamed that on the fact that the INSAS is the standard service rifle for the Indian Army, but it looks like they're also issued AK-type weapons, too. They must just be shit at fighting communists.

>sniper rifles like the m-16
fuck india

>>28047878
OMG is he ok?

>>28047728
Who are those guys?

>>28047442
Those helmets looks more snugly fitted than your average PASGT-pattern helmet. Covers the whole cranium without impending vision too.

We really need to get a couple of those and run some ballistic and ergonomic test. The material is probably worse than ECH but the design principle could be adapted for future combat helmet.

Also

>your average curry grunts would rather carry a ww2 bren than Insas

>>28049499
The point of the helmet is to guard from shrapnel and direct shots. That is why they do not have a top cover. Also its hot and muggy as fuck in most parts of India so the last thing you want is a solid cover of ceramic over your head.

They do work well enough that they are still standard issue and a decent amount of research went into the design of them.

Honestly the way to look at it is the majority of times someone dies from a head injury is from a frontal hit from either shrapnel or an actual shot. So they made something that takes care of that.

>>28049499
yeah, the insas is a shitty weapons system. Too bad the govt. is no longer buying foreign small arms to replace the SI insases. they want indigenous shit to replace the insas

>>28049265
I think they are pakistani militants, shot in Jammu and Kashmir.

>>28047728
MOOOOOOOOOOODS

>>28049240
journalists are always kinda misinformed,probs just wikipedia'ing shit and putting it in. but the bigger point is that theyre called COBRA commandos. keks

>>28049211
Hmmm, the Indian Army is not involved in fighting the Naxals (if the indian govt calls in the Army they would have to admit there has been a political failure), the indian army does fight the ULFA insurgents in the north east. the CRPF aka the armed police, fights the naxals- and they are mired in a bunch of political organisational problems; also they were never designed to fight insurgencies, they're just a police force. consequently they suck shit cuz lack of political will to fix the problem.

>>28051183
its kinda barbaric how the tradition of photographing dead insurgents with their weapons still exists, like this shit gets published in newspapers and stuff

>>28049244
hes dead man. rip policemang

>>28047584
is that a BREN?

based india

>>28051307
BRENS, kek mang INDIA is such a shitshow. Fuck some paramilitary orgs still use 9mm sterlings. the AirForce Commandos were using Vz 58's. Some Ak's in the units are actually reused after the terrorists are killed, this is how much ppl hate the Insas

>>28051331

It's a Sterling SMG. Countries like the UK and Singapore use them until late 90s.

Besides,what's wrong with issuing older weapon? Even worst korean do just that.

>The Greyhound Force
The Greyhound force, an elite anti-Maoist commando unit, was raised beginning in 1987 from within the Andhra Pradesh police to conduct small unit counterguerrilla offensives against Naxalite insurgents.[47] Roundly believed to have been tremendously successful, the Andhra Pradesh police (indian state poice) have drawn inspiration from the infamous Selous Scouts of Rhodesia to prosecute the equivalent of a “bush war” against the Naxalites.[48]
