When are the pathkas being retired? Any update on F-INSAS or our soldiers would have to do with third rate gear?

pathkas provide good visibility than ordinary helmets.... FAST helmets will be a good replacement for pathkas...but i don't think they will replace pathkas with fast helmets.

Guys IA head gear "Pataka" is bulletproof and provide very good protection to front, sides and rear of head, added with light wt and good visibility it's a very good product with on drawback ... it provide no or very little protection from top of head.

Strange!!...Pakistani Mainland?....where it was written that Pakinstan mainland would be West Pakistan during your independence!!....Majority of your population resided in east Pakistan...it is there, muslim league got majority of their votes. Pakistan was both east and west. It was however failure of vision and planning of your elite, that all the control (administrative, defencse and political) was confineded to W Pakistan.

Pakistan means Punjab, Afghania (Afghan province), Kashmir, Sindh, balochisTAN...there was no B for Bengal..it was supposed to be a separate muslim state..this is what Ch Rehmat Ali, and Iqbal said when Pakistan as a name was used..even Pakistan resolution stated one or more than one state...it were the British..who only gave us the option to get Pakistan..in this weird form..with two wings 2000 km apart ..separated by hostile territory..which was utterly stupid. Ayub Khan wanted to separate them in a loose confideration , this he mentions in his diary...but Bengali politicians at the time rejected the proposal..so Pakistani mainland was always west Pak..from where army , police, bureaucracy , resources and politicians came. Here is the link when the name "Pakistan" first time was used and each letter represents a region which was supposed to be in Pakistan Now or Never, by Chaudhary Rahmat Ali, 1933

They are Indian designed, they are called the Patak, originally were designed purely for Sikh soldiers who had issues wearing the traditional IA helmets, the helmet proved so effective in CT ops that it became the standard-issue helmet for all IA troops engaged in CT ops- many CAPFs have also issued it.

Those Patkas are brand new. Infact all IA troops engaged in CT ops are using them now
