IBTimes: East Ukraine War: Ukrainian Military Mitznefet Helmet Cover Delivered By Special Israeli Defense Force
The Ukrainian military is set to receive the unusual looking mitznefet military helmet cover, also known as the "clown hat," from the Israeli defense force, according to a report Tuesday from pro-Russian news site Sputnik. The supply of Israeli equipment to the Ukrainian military comes at a diplomatically sensitive time and is thought to be in response to Russia's decision to arm Iran, Israel's mortal enemy, with the advanced S-300 missile defense system.
WNU Editor: I know the geography of Ukraine .... this helmet cover is perfect for that environment. It also serves to send a message to Russia that there will be consequences in their missile sale to Iran.
