Re: IA Pictures
Any one know the vest they're wearing? Metal plated or kevlar?
Any ways isn't the IA looking into buying new helmets?

Re: IA Pictures
Even if they aren't, I'd suggest they do cuz 'bandanas' aren't much of a protection you see.
And can someone please tell me why these same pics are being posted on DT again and again? I've already noticed three people post the same pics over and over again. :roll

Re: IA Pictures
Perhaps the troops wearing the Bandana's are playing the "enemy" force? Helmets aren't always the best option though. It is very difficult to break up the outline of a ballistic helmet and even the best helmet in the world won't help you if you get shot directly in the head... It is for these reasons and the weight factor that very few SF operators wear ballistic helmets in combat or training scenario's.
You do see them occasionally wearing softer "skater" typer helmets during rapelling exercises (like the Delta Operators in real life and the ones in the movie "Blackhawk Down") normal soldiers are normally ordered to wear them and therefore don't have much choice, personally, I hated the damn things...

Re: IA Pictures
it is common practice in IA to wear a bandana(i forgot its real name)during training and in COIN operations(rashtriya rifles usually sport these).american army soldiers are sometimes shown sporting bush hats-bush hats for americans,bandana for indians.coming to special forces,they wear anything,suiting the occassion and not nescessarily wear helmets all the time(thats true to both paracommandos and also the MARCOS-marine commandos).normal infantry in war has no choice-they will wear helmets.... as pointed out by you the weight factor is a prime consideration,i guess.

arjun looks like a metal fortress of some Roman army, (thats a complement comming from me)
BUt its operational use would be limited(pity) i personally can't tell the differnce looking at any of the T-80+ family they all are the same, the T-90 looks like the T-80u even the T-99 and the MBT-2000 is similar. but they do look like impressive tanks, my personal favorite amongst these pics is the self propelled Artillery, it must be an awesome site to see one of these in action (i'm sure i'd go deaf after ive seen that)

Re: IA Pictures
The impressive Republic Day Parade is held every year on 26 Jan, the anniversary of the formation of the Indian Republic.
To mark the importance of this occasion, every year a grand parade is held in the capital, from the Raisena Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's Palace), along the Rajpath, past India Gate and on to the historic Red Fort. The different regiments of the Army, the Navy and the Air force march past in all their finery and official decorations. The President of India who is the Commander in Chief of Armed Forces, takes salute of the contingents of Armed Forces. The parade also includes vibrant displays, floats and folk dances from India's many peoples, and traditionally ends with a fly past by Indian Airforce jets.
^ Indian President Dr. Manmohan Singh, Bhutan's King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, Guest of Honour at this year's parade, and Indian President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam reciving the salute from the many marching contingents
^ Military marching band
^ Various Regiments
