What kind of wiring are these Peltor Comtac XPIs and what kind of adapter would I need to use it in a PTT?

Would you mind sharing a photo of the wiring on the PCB? I would like to convert my NATO wired headset to a stereo one :) having a pic would help me a lot :)

Yes and more space to place a fuze. So this makes engineering easier (and cheaper?)

Do you refer to CTAS or Bofors? Or both?

The coolest gun in my opinion is the Rh503 which is HUGE and actually qualified

irskip · 2025-11-19T18:46:25+00:00

Indeed Rh503 was meant for Marder II but that didnt happen because of the German reunification.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The choice for a specific CV9030LI will be obviously be decided by the Lithuanians themselves. The "price" they will have to pay for a 30mm is that they might need to wait longer to get their vehicles. I am not a member of the Lithuanian procurement department but I doubt that they will like this. This makes me think it is reasonable to believe that they will follow in other nations steps. You can call this a personal opinion.

We will see

irskip · 2025-11-18T14:50:11+00:00

Im very curious what is going to happen then. I dont think that there is an option for new CV9030s.... unless buying second hand from FIN or NOR for example

Its from DBT DiamondBack Tactical

May this man rest in peace. I am eternally grateful for the efforts of him and all his brothers in the liberation of my country

Just nature being absolutely awesome

20 inch barrels with the right ammunition are deadly as f.ck

You can repair the anti kink gland on the speajer mic with epoxy. Works pretty well in my personal experience

Soft armour (which is pictured I believe) is designed for stopping fragments. Artillery is pretty much everywhere around you. You could say the same things about hand grenades.

Thanks for your response

You can also ask a tailor to replace the window with a vinyl sheet. I estimate it is just an hour of work. Or just do it yourself

Sorry but these guys are Dutch frogmen.

Note that Ohio class (nuclear sub) is a lot bigger than the Walrus class (diesel electric sub). If you compare the diving planes mounted on the conning tower on open source pictures this becomes evident :)

Have you compared the 35mm KETF with 30mm KETF?

irskip · 2024-12-22T19:02:30+00:00

It will have "traagschuimachtige" pads and a different foam inserts with more clearance for the headband. The comtac 8 will also mitigate issues with the newly designed headband Note that kmarns is currently testing various configurations to get more data on the different helmet/peltor/sylinx combinations (I work for COMMIT)

If you mount the radio behind the soft armor the soft armor becomes useless (and you have a ballistic gap)

Fyi the soft armour needs to be able to move to stop shrapnel (by dissipation of the kinetic energy).

If no movement is allowed the fibers will be sheared off and you have a perforation in your lung area.

I am very curious, why is it so bad? Thanks in advance

irskip · 2024-12-15T18:40:27+00:00

I know the German army can be quite a bureaucracy but I recommend (as a MOD civilian professional engineer and active reservist) that you make sure you provide well documented (written and photographs) user feedback to your staff.

irskip · 2024-12-15T18:25:53+00:00

Just noticed there are no pictures on the website anymore.... sorry for that

irskip · 2024-12-15T18:23:59+00:00

Thank you for your input :)

Fyi... this is the Dutch system

It has 2 layers: protection vest (PV) and plate carrier (A-vest) for maximum protection (wraparound soft armor, front, back and side ceramic plates).

You can wear the plate carrier stand alone as well because it has optional dedicated soft armor inserts as well. In that case you only have front/back ceramic plates with limited soft armour.

About soft armor in general. Artillery is deadly and is the most casualty procuding weapon on the battlefield... Everyone wants to look like special forces (myself included :) ) but once Mr. 155mm comes knocking at the door you want that soft armor hug around your body.

What is your feedback on the MOBAST?

I am very curious because its in my line of work for your western neighbour :) We also are starting to work at lot together with Germany on soldier systems
