The helmet worn by Indian soilder in the second pic is called "patka", they were initially designed for sikh soilders because of the head gear. It proved to be very successful that they have been issued to other soilders aswell.
They are bullet proof even agiainst AK-47.

these equipments look really amazing and the F-INSAS will surely benefit our soldiers...I belive even the CRPF should be trained and equipped in such a manner (I dont know if that is already planned) so that it helps them in the operations like green hunt againsta the naxals.

Against maoist, CRPF needs better training and to be more in number. Govt already approved required equipments for them.

Its called Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System or MILES. It uses lasers and blank cartridges to simulate actual battle.

my dear friend,the gear depends on the mission you will carrying out the helmets worn by gurkha soldiers are PAGST helmets effective against 9m,but not ak-47,the indian patka helmets have are made to give protection 7.62 mm round,everyone needs to understand that a bullet proof helmets simply does not makes a a man wearing it invinsible,all these above helmets are useless if klashnikov is fired frm a close range the even if the helmet stops the bullet the impact and the trauma will simply kill the man,ur neck wont be able to face the force...
Now you talk about gear, a good gear comprises of body armour, a helmet,a tactical vest,and a communication set(depending)....can you show me a few pics to illustrate wht you meant just to clear your doubt just check out the given below video of gurka soldiers thier gear thier vest it will clear your doubt...

we have seen what various countries have in store for thier future soldier.i will posting wht all systems will cm in desi fiture soldier

This is the Insas Excalibur it has auto and semi-auto mode but the army is going for a new weapon and this one could be used by para-military forces

The global RFP (request for proposal) issued for a new assault rifle for the army stipulates that it has to be lighter than 3.5 kg. This straightaway knocks out INSAS which weighs 5.56 kg. But the OFB officials said it is impossible for them to bring out a lighter rifle.

The contract is now open for foreign vendors and some of the guns that are in the fray are the Israeli TAR-21, SAR-21 of Singapore Technologies, Belgian Herstal F-2000 and Swiss SIG SG 551
