Are these license built US helmets? Not shown in these shots, but in the specforces shots they use exactly the same mounting points as the US helmets. The only thing that is different is the internal lining (although some have a slightly different muff shape)

no chinese develop these themselves, i believe the program was initiated after the sino-vietnam border war. the old PLA steel helmets's performance was poor, so chinese start to work on kevlar helmets themselves.
