What is the purpose of the ridges on top of Eastern Bloc tank helmets?

Padding?
Carter Hughes
Its padding so they don't bump their heads.
Levi Davis
Its padding to prevent head injuries while inside a moving tank.
Noah Adams
Blake Cruz
I think those are foam? filled to absorb bumps.
Austin Smith
Its just lines of padding, it's in lines because it's cheaper and less material intensive than making a solid panel of padding on top, and about as effective.
Joshua Powell
Hitting your bare head against steel isn't fun user.
Liam Davis
foam wasn't really around at the time, I would expect more cotton or something else natural and soft.
Joseph Carter
Hunter Cook
Its fuckin summer again
Adam Cox
I think its asbestos

This isn't a summerfag thing to ask. It's a reasonable, military-related question. You're trying too hard to fit in, dildo.

Gotta have a couple softball questions for the people that lurk.
You didn't start learning math with algebra, did you?
Adrian Rogers
horse hair
next question
Jackson Cooper
Umm, no.
Nolan Bailey
what the fuck do you start with then?
Jordan Sullivan
Derp.

It's pretty obvious to anyone above the age of 10 what they're designed for
Jonathan James
I think it was pretty obvious that he was asking why they are designed the specific way that they are.
Nathan Price
Really comfortable helmet design, having used one for a year of service.
Isaiah Miller
You're right, I didn't read over OPs post well enough, however my comment is still true, you'd need to be a retard to not figure out why they designed it the way they did.

It's where their brain units go.
Carter Robinson
I don't think it ever was. But in theory, it could have been once. Some ww2-era helmets like the Swedish ones had their padding stuffed with horse hair. Cotton is more in Soviet style though, like in their telogreika unifoms.
Samuel Phillips
Horse hair was used as a padding in old boxing gloves.
Isaac Powell
The ridges are where the Sagittal crest goes.
Slavs and other such less evolved primates all have these.
Daniel Diaz
if i had to guess i would say that its for padding in the tank and the ridges allow for some air flow.
