Those helmets are either PASGT, or Polands version of it.

Those vests look very decent, offers full coverage of the body, mags AND plate will not be hanging off your body in one confined space which makes yourself incapable of running and moving efficiently without having to hold down all the crap on your chest to keep it from bouncing around.

Buy those, make the troops put their plates/armor in there, then buy harnesses for the mags and supplies and you are good to go

Looks like they are already providing us with stuff (On that little presentation board, the circle items are the things they produce. Helmets, tactical gear (vests) tents are all listed there. There is also the picture of an IFV, which makes me wonder...):

Here's an example of how important a soldier's helmet is (0:45 mark)...

You can visit their website to see their products in great detail. They probably won't be producing all of these at Lubawa-Armenia but military-grade products will all most probably be (tents, camouflage, bullet proof vests, helmets, decoy inflatable vehicles etc.). http://lubawa.com.pl/index.php/en/

I saw that video just recently on an image forum, just goes to show what a helmet can do for you. Lucky bastard too, because the ACHs are not known for being able to take SVD rounds directly. Just like the other incident, with a soldier in Iraq who was shot by an AKM in the head and was saved by his new ACH. It was propaganda, because the round traveled through a wall first. Im sure if he was out in the open, moving, and got hit directly in the head. (Which is rare...No one aims for the head in combat of course) he would be dead.

I looked at the website, and I saw that they have ALOT of stuff. I think it would be best to assume that the things in the presentation are most likely what is going to be considered. This is a good step for Armenia, boosting our quality and combat efficiency is the key to success.

Defense Ministry, Polish Firm Launch Joint Venture in Manufacturing




CHARENTSAVAN, Armenia (RFE/RL)—In a further boost to Polish-Armenian military cooperation, the Armenian Defense Ministry and a Polish defense company inaugurated on Thursday a joint venture in Armenia manufacturing protective equipment for armed forces.
The Lubawa-Armenia enterprise was officially launched in Charentsavan, a small town 40 kilometers north of Yerevan, in the presence of Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian, his former Polish counterpart Bodgan Klich and senior defense industry executives from the two states.
The company will use the technology and expertise of Poland’s Lubawa SA group to produce a range of protective gear such as army helmets, flak jackets, big and inflatable tents, camouflage netting and decoys. Ohanian was reported to say that these items will be supplied to the armed forces of not only Armenia but also other nations, possibly including members of the Russian-led Eurasian Economic Union.
Lubawa-Armenia was set up in March 2013 and began operating shortly afterwards at the premises of a defense plant in Charentsavan mostly owned by the Armenian Defense Ministry. According to Razm.info, a Yerevan-based defense news service, it signed with the ministry last December a $1 million contract to supply the Armenian army with camouflage nets.
The Armenian government approved in July its $1 million contribution to the Polish-Armenian company, which largely took the form of real property set aside at the Charentsavan plant. Ohanian said at the time that Lubawa, which has a 51 percent share in the venture, will make $10 million in capital investments.
In a speech at the opening ceremony cited by his press office, Ohanian spoke of “a new page opening in the history of Polish-Armenian cooperation in the area of defense industry.” He discussed that cooperation at a meeting with Klich on Tuesday. Klich served as Poland’s defense minister from 2007-2011 and is now a Polish senator.
The official launch of the Charentsavan facility, although significant, is apparently not the largest tangible consequence of Armenia’s military ties with NATO member Poland. Russian news sources reported last year that another Polish company has begun modernizing 84 Armenian tanks in line with a $100 million contract signed with Yerevan in 2013. The Armenian Defense Ministry did not deny that information.
The Armenian army’s Russian-made T-72 tanks will reportedly get stronger dynamic armor and be equipped with more powerful engines, new machine guns, surveillance cameras and state-of-the-art communication systems. Some defense analysts believe that these upgrades will make them analogous to the more advanced T-90 tanks currently manufactured by Russia.
Russia, which is allied to Armenia, is due to complete early next year the ongoing delivery of about 100 T-90s to Azerbaijan in accordance with large-scale defense contracts signed in 2010.

Well my dad read an article a long time ago on news.am that Armenia spent 16 million dollars on military weapons that was purchased from Greece. I think it included machine guns, pistols, and maybe smgs.
