Russian Pickelhaube

The Russians did not wear the Pickelhaube, but a larger, similar desgin of their own, know as the helmet of Yaroslav Mudry, introduced in 1821.

Assyrian/Babylonian Helmets

this information is wrong, helmets were invented before 1600 b.c. and NOT by the Myceaneans. ܐܵܬܘܿܪܵܝܵܐ 12:58, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this a page?

It has little text that is not just copied from the Helmet page. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 06:25, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is more a "list article" so should be classified as such, unless a "list of combat helmets" already exists. Regards, DPdH (talk) 23:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC) DPdH (talk) 23:32, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After browsing around Wikipedia, I'm now convinced that this article is needed not just to list combat helmets, but also to describe this important and distinct headgear. Regards, DPdH (talk) 00:04, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Additional militaries and future

It seems that this page needs to be expanded, there's a lot that could be added about evolution of combat helmets. What do people think?

I'm adding the Ireland to the list of helmets concerning the Adrian helmet since the Free State Army did use them for a short period of time (see the permanent exhibition at the National Museaum Collins Barracks, Dublin 'Soldiers and Chiefs') as well as the German Stahlhelm which was produced by Vickers under Belgian license for the Irish Army. They later changed to the famous British Brodie helmet. User:ConsulHibernia (Usertalk:ConsulHibernia) —Preceding undated comment added 15:45, 28 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

FIFA

"revived for 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany" As a combat helmet? And what is a PASGT type helmet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.156.24.93 (talk) 10:08, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, mocking fan articles (plastic, inflatable) in use by OTHER nations match visitors does not count as a revival in combat or even police use. The protocoll formation of the Bundeswehr deliberately does not use historically inspired uniforms for any event due to the unfortunate connotations brought with those. Oh and PASGT is the name of the US Army's 1980s helmet design which still is used as inspiration for several other designs inside and outside of the United States military. --176.199.186.241 (talk) 01:14, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Soviet helms in Finland

I really question the use of Soviet WW2 helmets in Finnish Defence Forces. The FDF has never bought Soviet combat helmets nor designated them; the steel helmets in service have been the German Stahlhelm, both M/18 and M/35 (post-war Stahlhelms bought from BRD stocks designated M/55, being mostly M/35 and later wartime models), Finnish M/62 and Swedish M/37 (and also the later Swedish steel helmet whose designation I don't remember). Some experimental steel helmets were in Special Forces use (without official army designation), and American M1 helmet has been used by the Finnish peacekeepers on Suez. Only Soviet headgear in service have been (and is even in service to date) the tank/IFV/APC crew helmets, which are in no way combat helmets though. Only way Soviet steel helmets have been in use is that the helmets were taken from killed Soviet troops in WW2 as war booty. Though, far away, the M/37 and M/62 helmets resemble the SSh40 helmets a bit, but the edge is straight. The steel helmets have been phased out by the M/92 and K96 composite helmets and later M/00 and M/02, the M/92 is the first largely issued composite helmet, K96 and M/00 being somewhat experimental models to the new and lighter M/02; M/02 is in most widespread use. M/55 (M/35 Stahlhelm) and M/62 helmets are still stored for possible war-time use for the support troops and such; the M/55 helmets also see use in historical events.

New Turkish helmet?

Does the Turkish Army has a new helmet type? The helmets in this article don't look like PASGT-type helmets:
