****************************************************************************
The
SSh-68
(Russian: СШ-68 [стальной шлем образца 1968 года/stalnoy shlyem, or steel helmet], English: SSh-68 steel helmet model 1968) - is a steel
combat helmet
of the
Soviet
and then
Russian Armed Forces
. The SSh-68 is a further development of the
SSh-60
helmet. It differs primarily in its greater strength, greater front slope of the dome and the shorter outer edge.
[1]
It is usually painted in dark green.
[2]
The helmet weights 1,300 grams (with
leatherette
balaclavas
- 1,500 grams). SSh-68 provides protection from impact shock (machetes, etc.), and steel fragments (shrapnel) weighing 1.0 grams at speeds up to 250 m/s.
[3]
The SSh-68 is not meant to protect against bullets.
The SSh-68 was used by the armed forces of the Soviet Union and its
Warsaw Pact
allies, and others. Today, it is still in service in most countries of the
CIS
, as well as
Vietnam
,
North Korea
and
Afghanistan
.
[4]
Due to the introduction of improved helmets starting with the original 6B7, the SSh-68 was progressively withdrawn from service. In the
Russian Armed Forces
, the final examples are being gradually replaced by the newer 6B7-1M and
6B47 helmets
.
