    Both of the helmets are 30 years old. I would say it is impressive considering their age. Anyway out of curiosity did US military or SWAT units use any sort of heavy ballistic helmets similar to these Soviet/Russian ones? Also a genuine question. Which helmets can withstand more than SS190?
  4. Beer
    IMHO the heavy helmets still make perfect sense with the close combat assault teams and anti-terror squads, just like they were mostly used.

    Destroyed Azeri T-72 Aslan with a soldier who doesn't know that it's their own tank. The wind sensor is not present on Armenian T-72AV.

    Prague aircraft museum Kbely finished restoration of Avia Av-14 (Czechoslovak built Il-14). When I was there two months ago I have noticed that since my last visit three years ago they restored C-47, Phantom FGR.2 and Su-25K. Next one to restore is probably going to be Il-18 (and I really really hope they'll restore the Tu-104 which is standing there too!).

    Just out of curiosity, how is it nowadays being done with localization and acquisition of the carrier task force on the opened ocean?

    More details about the Ukrainean Dana M2 deal. https://www.armadninoviny.cz/houfnice-dana-m2-pro-ukrajinu-puvodni-objednavka-znela-66-houfnic.html In short: - the contract was signed in 2018 and originally was for 66 units however it was reduced to 26 (possibly for financial reasons) - the contract contains 5000 HE-Frag and 1000 long range DN1CZ rounds - the price of the contract is 40 million USD The article discusses the controversy going around it especially due to the fact that the SPH uses the same old 152 mm old gun as the original vz.77 Dana,

    Possible game changer in the Czech IFV tender. Rheinmetall yesterday signed creation of a joint venture with Tatra defence (in Czech presidential palace) for production and development of tactical combat vehicles in Tatra facilities in Kopřivnice (not limited to Lynx). If nothing else it means that both ASCOD and Lynx would be produced in Tatra. https://www.idnes.cz/zpravy/nato/czg-strand-rheinmetall-vozidla-obrana-armada-koprivnice-tatra-czechoslovak-group.A201126_163750_zpr_nato_inc

    Actually none of these three weapons was ever used by ČSLA. We had our own weapons used in their roles. As a light AA weapon we had the 30 mm PLDvK vz.53 (you know for sure the self propelled version of armoured Praga V3S used a lot in Yugoslav wars). And as a recoilles rifle we had the 84 mm BZK vz.59A. Both weapons are already phased out.
