Original Russian Bulletproof helmet MASK-1 MVD SPETSNAZ

Description

You are bidding on Maska-1 Original Russian MVD bulletproof assault helmet
Bulletproof helmet "Mask-1", was born in 1991, when scientists of the Research Institute of special equipment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia took part in the development of helmets that allowed the installation of an armored helmet. On already existing protective helmets of this class of protection, for example, on the stsh-81 "SPHERE", for all their advantages, such a possibility was not structurally provided.
The helmet "Mask-1", consisting of a steel shell, a podtuleyny device and a removable visor, provides protection of the 2nd class according to GOST from pistol bullets and shrapnel. The helmet is made of solid armor steel, without joints and seams, that is, it is one-piece. This is its obvious advantage over the "Sphere" helmets, the structure of which consists of three armor elements. The visors of the helmet were made in two versions: a one - piece visor made of polycarbonate transparent material and a version of reinforced protection-a steel visor with a hexagonal glass visor made of polycarbonate.
The weight of the helmet without visor is 2.6 kg.
Despite the fact that the Mask-1 helmet is currently out of production, it is still actively used by employees of the Ministry of internal Affairs, the FSB and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
The disadvantages of the "Mask-1" helmet include the fact that, despite the declared product passport, the 2nd class of protection, when using the version with a visor made of solid polycarbonate glass, can actually provide protection only of the 1st class, protecting mainly from impact and bullets and shrapnel with low energy.
The advantages of the helmet are the ratio of its weight, protective properties and ease of wearing, compared to bulletproof helmets developed in the 80's, as well as the presence of an internal device in the form of dampers that reduce the impact of the striking element on the head. Also, the holding system, belts and tension regulators help to reduce the force of dynamic impact on the human head when bullets and shrapnel hit the helmet, which was not implemented in early models of bulletproof helmets.
