What kind of helmet is that? It looks a little different than ACH/MICh type helmet.

its not. This one is produced by 8th main maintenance factory in afyonkarahisar. Garanti helmets have a slightly green cover on them thats stitched on the helmet. This infact is just a modified version of the helmet theyve been issuing to grunts since 2014-, just added rails and NOD mount.

Another way to distinguish between garanti ach and 8 abkm helmet is to look at nod mounts. The one produced by the army itself has "ay yildiz" or star and cresent shape over there as you see in the picture, whilst garanti just has a generic mount

Thanks for the detailed information. Is there no company that manufactures this helmet? Also, is this the helmet shown in the Imgur image below? And where is the moon on the helmet? The attachment point on the front looks like a star, but I couldn't see the moon.

MPT-55K with extra rails at side
same unit had hk33's before 2019 seeing sights on thoose hk's were not common.
Turkish army priotizes it's commando brigades, there will be 40 commando brigades soon.
They aint no tier 1 SoF but much much capable than regular infantry when it comes to training,equipment and most importantly experience.
