Knowing that Russians are pushing into Ukraine like nothing, and that Ukraine is about to fall, same with Joe Bidens presidency - I would assume its the Western Elites that are preparing for what they do best, fuelling the war to a bigger level, as that is how money is made in the West, wars and proxy wars wagered on other countries, taking ownership of businesses in that country, as well as trillions of debt afterwars. In your place, I wouldn't be so scared of Russia or China, neither of them have got an interest in an all out war conflict, their stats are only going up, in the US and Western stats that are being hit by inflation, crime, drugs, pedophiles, and child traffickers - in your place, I would prepare for those things and would take care of your OWN country first, before going into another country 'being a hero'.

Luckily we had plenty to replace them, but obviously you guys don't have that luctury. The one piece of advice I can give is please don't hang the helmet from the chin strap, and instead use the D ring at the back of the helmet.

The best part about the larger helmets with greater coverage is the neck pain and headaches they cause, causing overall less use. Helmets only work when you wear them. So you're more likely to die having a "better coverage" helmet because it's probably off because it's uncomfortable.

I prefer the high-cut, because I rely on hearing to such a great extent, and if anything blocks direction of sound, it is much harder to place where the sound is coming from. Now, I don't have to sit in a trench being shelled all day long, and it is pretty hard to hear with shellfire everywhere.

I bought it from an army surplus store many years ago. The build and material is similar to 2000s US helmets, but it's way more comfortable than the one I used in my service because it has these pad things in it instead of classic harness and suspension which I've never seen.
