Unless this helmet is as good as the latest IHPS of US army which can stop 7.62×39mm and 5.56 nato round at 20m, it won't be as good as patka for anti terror ops.Remember when @Airborne22 said that there are some RR units which have better gear than even this so called 31 RR CDO. He wasn't lying.
Meet RR delta force
(Is the first guy from special forces attached to RR unit under delta?)

Most military helmets in service today are only capable of stopping pistol caliber and sharpnel, even IHPS hasn't been widely adopted yet in us army, will take another 2-3 years for it to get 100% adopted by US army.
Patka on the other hand can stop an ak round from close distance at front, while it provides similar pistol and sharpnel protection as modern ballistic helmets on sides and back, though no top protection.
So if you have a normal modern ballistic helmet an ak round unless very far can easily penetrate from any side and kill you.
In case of patka you are atleast protected from the round from the front.
Ps:- there are also steel core/ anti armour version of rounds that can get past patka and IHPS.
As for the plates inside the carrier, it is unless what protection level they are rated.
So just because you see a modern looking gear doesn't mean its better.
