The SkyTruck is a Polish Aircraft these are in use by 6th Special operation Squadron, and Use P&W engines.
The Helmets Worn in these pics are Ops Core FAST types they have a smaller more open cut then the Regular ACH but offer the same level of protection over there coverage area They also are way superior too "Skull Crushers" ( Rigs Worn too wear NOD or other head born equipment minus a helmet) in that they have a well planed out suspension system and offer multiple points of attachment.
