Ivan, the tank’s coming! Oh God, he has his helmet on! He can’t hear us! Oh God!

Seen on the noggin of every Soviet and Post-Combloc tanker, these helmets remain unique for their softer exterior and full-head covering in contrast to the more prominent hard-helmet and cap-like designs of the era. Although these are summer variants, the helmets are still well-padded to drown out noise. This allowed tank crews to hear and respond to orders given through a sewn-in microphone and comms system. We’re not able to confirm whether these are still functional, but we are excited to offer our limited quantity to collectors.

Condition

Solid

Little bit of ware on the earpieces, other than that in great condition. Converted to use a 3.5mm jack rather than the yugo 7pin.
