#6  Of course, being Russians, maybe they're just planning for Siberia.

Chinese are not cutting their military budget much are they?

#5  Oh, it's impressive.
(1)The helmet really restricts lateral visibility, and likely your hearing as well.
The display unit in the visor is neat looking, but my experience with heads-up-display units like that is that they usually show what someone else thinks is important, not necessarily who's trying to kill you what's right in front of you.
(2) Does it come with an air conditioner? 'Cause any place that's not Siberia, you're gonna have a heat stroke over retained body heat. Maybe even then. (Of course, being Russians, maybe they're just planning for Siberia.)

Looks like a nice 2000 meter target for a 300 Lapua or a 50BMG.

#2  But hey, as long as they're just walking around and don't actually do any fighting they'll be totally bad-a$$.
