Reliable shipping
This helmet is the SSH-68N (Stalnoy Shlem, 1968), which carries the informal nickname "Zagotovka" (Заготовка), meaning "Blank" or "Preparation". Like the SSH-68M, it holds the GRAU index 6B14. It represents the final, and most reinforced, iteration of the classic Soviet steel shell design.
The core design principle is the same as the SSH-68M: it uses the traditional steel shell shape but is significantly upgraded with an internal layer of aramid (ballistic) fabric. This hybrid construction provides a superior level of fragmentation protection compared to the original steel helmet.
The SSH-68N is distinguished from the M variant by its slightly higher weight and wider intended use. It was developed for both the Russian Armed Forces and the MVD (Ministry of Internal Affairs). These helmets are extremely rare and are highly sought after as transitional pieces of Russian military technology.
