Wow. Says our guys are already using them.

I can't imagine the per unit cost of one of those.

1. I don't believe that's true

2. While forward thinking, the devtac helmet is all sorts of tarded. No place for comms, muffs, etc.

I'm still on the fence on 1. I was a kid for Star Wars era propaganda, and got burned in believing we could make cool shit.

For 2, if this thing exists, it's got A/C. I think comms and muffs are built in.

Compatibility is a big issue.
