Description:
The vest is a combination of pouches and a modular protective vest, which was developed by special forces officer Svyatoslav Omelchenko in 1985-1987 years.
General look resembles 6b5 body armor with 6b3 armor elements.
The pouches system itself is represented by a huge number of pouches for inventory and ammunition, which in the days of the USSR was not yet available for supply in the army.
The front section has pouches for machine guns, radio stations, grenades, IFAK medicine and other equipment.
The back section has a unique duffel bag with various compartments.
The front section is shielded with a soft armor twaron plate with armor elements of various class of protection, pockets for installing armor elements have the ability to increase the thickness of the armor elements to maximum protection, which was not used in 6b3, 4 and 5 series armor vests.
Also, the front section is protected by a twaron (kevlar screen) in a waterproof case.
The back section is only a kevlar screen, but inside the cover there are mounting rings for installing an additional screen with titanium armor elements.
The most important thing in this vest is its mega rarity and exclusivity! Perhaps it is in one of the documentary photos.
