RE:Equip the Indian Army with latest technology

Dear, The body armour (Still First Gen.) is nothing then 2 steel sheets in a rag jacket with some fome in it.
A single sheet weight 9 kg. total jacket weight 19 kg. At mountain terrain with 19 kg Jacket, arms and ammo. our soldiers can not perform with such weight. So to do there duty they strip there protection and do there best. If our Delhi Babu's / neta made to wear this jacket during there office hour, then only our soldiers may get right gear
