perhaps the American Style ones are just for some special forces...
The Dutch Steel one (M-73) is still largelly spread

..like the Cammo patern ..

Could you detail this a little further? The Romanians are changing (again) the standard helmet, while, as Tomcat have said, the Dutch-Romanian model (steel, 1973) is still widely used? Do we have to do the things as superficial as that, on every time?

Do you have some more info about the ST 1 helmet you’ve mentioned? Was it a completely original (Romanian) design or it was inspired/copied by/after another model?

There is also the ST 2, an ST 1 with a transparent plastic visor, used by pioneers and MPs. You can see the ST 4 in any photo with Romanians in Irak or Afghanistan (only during the first tour of the 26th Battalion they had ST1s).

I noticed that too, but did not want to say anything.

His right hand looks OK from what I can see, but the left.....eek! Now that they have seen the President do it, every kid in Romania will think it is OK to shoot an M16 that way.
