Indian Military Picture Thread

It's not a 5.45x39mm carbine, if you look closely at the magazine, it's the same as the 7.62x39mm AK-47/AKM series and also has the AK-47/AKM series underfolder stock not the sidefolding AK-74 stock.There are no Ishmash or Tula made AKMSU, a few compact AK's in 7.62x39mm are made like the Yugoslavian M92 and Bulgarian AR-SF.Gun manufacturers in Darra also make these Krinkov AK's with whatever parts they can find.

It could be possible this is a captured weapon.

Arsenal AR SF

Zastava M92

Thanks, but i am not discussing the caliber of that specific weapon in the picture, i am just pointing out that AK-47 & AK-74 major difference is caliber round, you can have carbines in any caliber provided you want it.

Helmets are the IA's. The protective pads in this particular pic are American but in other pics they are clearly IA. M-4s are American also, this is a joint exercise and the US is the host country- it is the norm in the Yudh Abhays series for the US and Indian armies to use each other's gear.

Helmets are American ACH/MICH.Army SF or Paras don't use ACH/MICH.Unless this happens to be the first photos of them using the ACH/MICH.What makes matter more confusing is this photo.

Here the Paras seem to have ACH in the Indian Camo, this is an easy task to accomplish but as to why this was done we will not know now.
The tactical vests and other vest accessories are Indian though.

These aren't US army ACH helmets pal- standard TATA helmets that the PARAs and SFs have had for more than 4 years now:

These are NOT ACH helmets just these TATA helmets with cloth covers.

In the past we've seen IA using the US Army ACHs in UCP camo during Yudh Abhays series so why would they suddenly now be leant ACHs in Indian Army colours?!

These are Indian helmets- is it so hard to comprehend mate? A country that spends close to $50 BN USD a year on defence can't give a few cheap helmets to select units?!!


PARAs, Airborne units and SFs have had these helmets for a while now the only new news is seeing regulars (Gurkhas) with such helmets.


Don't worry F-INSAS will sort this mess out starting next year.

And do you photos of the said TATA helmets?Because that happens to be the ACH used with Indian Camo cloth.

This is a photo of a 7th Special Forces Group Soldier using the ACH without the UCP camo cover

See any similarities with the helmets being used by our guys in Fort Bragg this year?Compare the mounting brackets for the NVG's as well.

There also happens to be a small pinhole to mount the mounting bracket for the NVG's.I'll post a much higher resolution photo for that.

You can see the pinhole for mounting the NVG mounting bracket.

Now look clearly at the helmet worn by the Para in this photos

The helmets used by the SF, Para, Modernised Regular Infantry is this

This is the Orlite 201 helmet from Israel.

Edit - I didn't see your post about the TATA helmet.The TATA helmet has 2 bolts while the ACH hs 4 bolts you can see this over here 2 bolts on each side while the TATA helmet has one bolt on each side at almost the same place (near the front) as the ACH.
