Russian Soviet BVD Paratrooper Vest Replica
Reliable shipping
High-quality replica of the rare Soviet BVD (Boevaya Vylkadka Desantnika), translating to "Paratrooper Battle Webbing." This experimental tactical vest was produced in limited quantities during the Soviet-Afghan War era and was intended to provide paratroopers with immediate access to ammunition and gear during firefights.
Historically, the BVD was a transitional piece of gear, eventually phased out by the introduction of the 6B3 body armor system. This faithful reproduction is made from durable green canvas with distinct mustard/tan edging and straps. It features specific pouches for AK magazines (long vertical cells), grenades, and utility items. It includes side lacing for size adjustment, making it a perfect choice for historical reenactment, airsoft, or collectors of VDV gear who cannot source the extremely rare originals.
