[JVeld]

Hi Guys, Im new here and I was wondering if anybody had any info on this Russian Helmet ! ......looks alot like the American Kevlar !

[ED209]

Looks much better than the "motorcycle helmet" style that they used up to now!

[RGRBOX]

The helmet on the left I've seen before, I believe it's a Kevlar helmet being used know. I would have to ask a friend in Moscow to confirm... on the other hand, I love that camo... everytime I see a pic of the Russian military or police, I see a new version not seen before.... kool

[Zlatko]

The one on the left still looks ridiculous.

According to OMON the one on the left is the 6B7-1L helmet

I wouldn't say ridiculous, it just seem's to flair out quite a bit, and that make's it look a little odd

[mountainbear]

I don’t think it looks ridiculous, it’s nice to have something different of the PASGT style helmets.

[JVeld]

Thanks for the info Mountainbear.
I like the one on the right better but I still think the one on the left looks way better than that " Turtle Shell " old helmet still in use....

[Thunder]

I like them Maska's better. :(

ive to correct myself, the helmet on the left is an P7-1 or P7

The helmet on the right is an new helmet

here is some info

A new series of ballistic fabric/polymer helmets is ready for full-scale production. The helmets feature high level of protection against small arms and fragments. They are lighter than similar Russian and foreign helmets with the same protection level by 0.3-0.5 kgs. The weight of the lightest helmet version is only 900 g; protected area: 11-13 sq.dm; protection level against fragments: V50=600...620 m/s; against small arms: PM pistol at 5 m.

so would you mind to explain what is the difference between American Kevlar and Russian Kevlar. I mean Kevlar as a substance is it different, way different?

Is American Kevlar a brand name of some helmet model.?

I think the last pic is showing an american kevlar. or a copy. last time russians finally get the idea not to try discover bicycle over and over again and started copyng western equipment and weapons.

[nick_ua]

you mean the copied the form of the helemt, or the kevlar formula as well

[RomanS]

Thats how you should put your input into the subject.

I THINK.....

A modern combat helmet are not made to stop a bullet they are made to stop slow flying shards from artillery etc not a high-speed bullet

Thank you Luno

That is the truth. Treat those as a helper, not a full blown solution to LIFE.

[Levan]

only the design of a helmet as I can see, or robably they purchased neccesary amount of helmets from western suppliers.

This does not include the titanium helmets worn by Alpha troops. Those are mode to stop bullets. But indeed the helmets used by troops in the field are only meant to stop fragment and pistolrounds. A rifleround will go through them like a hot knife through butter (unfortunately)

About the 'flaring out' of the older kevelar helmet; This is actually quite nice, since it allows you to wear all sorts of communication equipments under your helmet.

calm down my friend and stay cool

obvious come back, sorry to inform you that

1. Im not your friend

2. Im always cool, especially this is internet...

3. Extra bonus for you, keep away from topics that are not your business. (unless you have nothing to say, thats the best way to avoid uncomfortable conversation with those who you hate) just let it go, and pass.

WE DONT COME TO YOUR TOPICS WITH OUR OPINIONS.

They are yours, and we don't care. Thats why we stay away from them.

[nick_ua]

no ****. Did you see german helmet or spain helemets from 1943, they seems to me pretty much same shapes and forms.

A bit different but, hey you can't get very creative on a helmet.
So what do you think that western bastards still the idea from a germans.
Or how about you 'll do some research and found more same helmets from mid centuries as well.
I know you are not very bright and don't know a **** about stuff you are talking about, but at least you can think it through before posting

relax dude. even stoling some ideas requiers brain))) you should chose right time to stole. as always russians are last ones to stole

[bigjeff]

It looks like kelvar.

[zealot]

Looks much better than the "motorcycle helmet" style that they used up to now!

What quite few people fail to realise is that the helmet on the left is being distributed to elitist army units (not specnaz) as a replacemnt for their old M68 type helmets, specnaz will still keep using their maska's (aka. "motorcycle helmet"), whilst helmet on the right (PASGT looking) is being hardly used at all and is not being produced en-masse ....

Stoling? To stole? Whats that???? Seriously dude you should stop TROLLING and get some real education.
