The patch on top would be used for a glint tape patch for military operations. It’s meant to alert the trigger happy US airforce you are friendly before they turn you into mincemeat.
I did find out later that that the top one is for an Infra Red Patch, so if you are in the forces you can apply the patch and helicopters etc using night vision can see you on the ground.

Good to know, thank you.
Cool those patches could have velcro patched lights attached - the wee ones that fit on key fobs, a red one would be great for nights. Lite lights.

Very informative as always, keep it up.

I recently bought 3 black grey and coyote brown. Now im thinking helikon should also have a folding cap for the mesh type cap?
I can see that being useful. Why 3 Black though? I'm curious!
@@dogdadoutdoors i mean 3 colors - black, gray, and coyote brown
@@napadaanlng69 Ah, that makes more sense! 😆
Aliexpress has a cap that folds three ways (smaller) and also has buttons to pin sun shades.

Proud my country is supporting Ukraine to defend its homeland and I wish them every success.
