It's not part of F-INSAS mate, just general infantry upgrades.Headgear,ammo carrier ,knee&elbow pad overall infantry basic gears looking improved .

if not den is it a basic clothing modernization of our infantry ............Gurus seeking reply frm u
One important point i noticed after seeing many pics of IA soldiers specially in CT operations ... about the head gear for SIKH soldiers. I have seen SIKH soldiers either wearing "Patka" or their normal "Pagdi". I rarely see them wearing newly inducted headgears (as evident in above pic). I feel that they feel uncomfortable in the new headgears (for obvious reasons). If this is the case is IA thinking for some solution ? Its my observation and i may be wrong. Expecting some inputs from @Abingdonboy
You won't find pics of Sikh soldiers wearing the "tin" helmets and even these "new" helmets don't seem to be compatible with the Sikh soldier's requirements. The new F-INSAS helmets should provide a solution, they should be spacious enough to not cause any issues with Sikh soldiers. Look at SFs, with their Kevlar helmets- Sikhs wear the same helmets as everyone else.
But if needs be a Sikh soldier will wear whatever protection is around have no doubt.
Bear in mind this is also a demo and that too in Amritsar.
I wish that IA should provide some customized version of Kevlar helmets to SIKH soldiers ... but again going by their slow pace of modernization it is too much to expect from them.
That's actually how the Patka started out! Ie a cheap, interim, solution for Sikh soldiers and it was found to be so useful it became the standard helmet for all troops deployed in CI ops-it's pretty good for what it is.
But aren't they heavy compared to the regular Kevlar helmet used by other countries.
