Sizing Notes

Our SMERSH-AK belt kit is a one-size-fits-most rig with the exact same specifications as the original.

i.e., If the original SSO SMERSH fits you, you'll fit in ours.

It features an adjustable waist that accommodates for 28.5-46.5" (72-118 cm) or the small end of XS to the large end of 2XL.

The 'yoke' of the rig is also highly adjustable to accommodate most heights. You'll want the rig to sit at your hips for optimal weight distribution and comfort.

Down to the Details

We've done our best to clone the original fan-favorite, but with enhanced quality control & materials selection.

It's far beyond the "Airsoft" quality of the SSO/SPOSN SMERSH, without sacrificing any of the rugged simplicity of the original.

If you love the original SMERSH or it's derivatives, you'll love ours even more.

Familiar Feel, Upgraded Durability

Low NIR Reflectivity

Type-A QC & Our Guarantee

Piece By Piece

The SMERSH excels at carrying a large amount of gear with as little stress to the user as possible.
We've broken down our kit below to demonstrate it's capability.

SMERSH Harness

Modular & Timeless

The wide belt and simple loop system makes it easy to customize SMERSH with any combination of it's pouches.

And because it's a clone of the original, it'll work with original SMERSH compatible pouches too.

SMERSH Buttpack

A Spacious Trunk

The buttpack is perfect for carrying what you don't need immediate access to, but helps you bring more than you'll need on your expeditions.

With an internal cinch and a double buckled lid, it resists water entry and has the ability to expand and contract with any loadout.

SMERSH Magazine Pouches

All-Rounder Pouches

Featuring an internal plastic divider, the pouches are designed to hold 4 30-round AK magazines but works with a variety of platforms. Six AR-15 Magazines total fit comfortably and are easily retrieved using mag assists or ranger plates.

SMERSH Magazine Pouches, Cont.

Don't Forget Your 'Nades

The internal divider is removable, making it a versatile way to carry extra water, a radio, and more are right at home.

The small side-mounted pockets are perfect for boo-boo kits, compact Tourniquets, compasses & GPS units, and of course, your favorite throwable.

SMERSH PPI Pouch

IFAK Extras

The "PPI" Pouch is typically mounted on the PALS webbing on the shoulders but can also be mounted on the belt.

It's perfect for quick access to bandages and other small IFAK items.
AKM-Style Magazines

As this is a clone of the SMERSH intended for the AKM platform, expect the classic 30-rounders for 7.62x39 chambered rifles to fit perfectly.

5.45 magazines of the 30-round variety will also fit.

Taller magazines such as the 40 round magazines intended for the RPK will exceed the available flap length on the pouches and may only be able to be ran open-top.

NATO/STANAG Magazines

AR-15 and other STANAG-styled magazines will fit comfortably, however, they may be difficult to access quickly due to the depth of the pouch itself.

You can add mag assists/ranger plates to each magazine or add a filler (foam or plastic wedge) to the bottom of the pouch to make your freedom filled STANAG mags work just as well as the commie mags.

All Other Magazines

While we don't have extensive experience running other types of magazines in SMERSH, SCAR/FAL magazines have been tested to fit, but may be difficult to extract due to their shorter height.

The same should apply for most other similarly sized 7.62x51 NATO magazines.

For pistol caliber carbine "stick" magazines, you may find that they're too tall for the closure to secure, similar to the 40 round RPK magazine's situation.

More than a prop

I bought this for an AK range day that I do with my friends but I ended up enjoying it a lot. It's gonna make regular range trips now. The pouches are very versatile, I can carry 12 AR mags if I want. In addition to AK and AR mags, I used it with PCC mags and shotgun cards I like to use one of the pouches for a nalgene. The butt pack can literally hold whatever you want. I think the price is more than fair for the quality especially considering they had to contact Arktis to make these exclusively for them to sell to us Russophile nerds. If you want a SMERSH or you're interested in some useable LBE, just get one

Привет again

Very quality, had a problem with the buckle not keeping the webbing tight but it was for the lower small webbing so I took it off for a streamline wear, but other than that, runs well with weight of full mags and butt pack

Dog review #2

The Arktis SMERSH-AK fits my other dog, just as the USGI LBV fit the other. Tater Tot is ready to Cheeki someones Breeki. And the Soviet etool and akm bayonet do fit on the main belt if anyone it wondering.

SMERSH=STALKER

My only complaint with the SMERSH. Is the grenade pouches are to small for with my IWA Flashbangs, Thunder B airsoft grenades, or my Clear Out Tear Gas grenades.

Good the only bad thing I have to say about it is outa the way. So what great about the komandostore SMERSH? Well my wife can't get enough of me in it. As you will see in my pictures it also works with PLCE 95 pouches that I also got from komandostore.

Ask not what can SMERSH can do for you. Ask what can you do for SMERSH.

In doing so you will find out that SMERSH can do it all and then some. Like what you ask? Well it can hold PSA AK 101 mags, AR-15 mags, AR-10 mags, or your airsoft ak mags. Note flare pouches make great extended glock mag pouches if you didn't know.

I wanted to wait to do this review so I could do the SMERSH true justice but sadly, TONY has told me to do it with out my komandostore SS Leto gorka. It is one the way but I feel with a few more days of waiting I could of truly pulled off those pictures better. Welp at least the SS Leto hat was in these pictures love it
