Saudi Arabian Military [request]

[Anonymosity]

I have went on Google and this seems to be one of the scarcest images availiable. I have seen some pictures of Saudi Arabian police, but I have still not seen any pictures of the soldiers or equipment themselves. As well, any information regarding their equipment, uniforms etc. would be interesting as well.

Does anyone have any pictures? It would be most appreciated.

Images I have so far found:

Anyone identify the helmets they are wearing? They look like the old US Army helmets, the ones before PASGT.

They look like the old U.S. Army M-1 helmets-practically every army uses them and makes them.

whats that helmet? Where can I get a pair of those stunnas?

[wicked_hind]

They look like those Russian titanium helmets, don't know their exact designation.

[konkurs]

Ulbricht titanium helmet, made in Germany for GSG-9 and SEK units.

[snark.si]

What is now better titanium or kevlar ??????

[Bert]

What is now better titanium or kevlar ??????
Titanium and kevlar are for two different applications.. Titanium helmets are way too heavy to wear prolonged like kevlar helmets, they're really only for DA.

[konkurs]

Kevlar is light , and it has better balistic charachteristics, titanium is old technology, titanium has high termo stability caused by kinethic energy of projectiles.

[mountainbear]

Ulbrichts is an Austrian company so I guess they where made in Austria and the one shown here could be an original TIG from Switzerland. Titanium probably still has advantages, like very small deformation, because Ulbrichts is marketing a new type of helmet.
