6B7 helmet

6B7 is a ballistic helmet of the Russian Armed Forces. Being the first aramid helmet in the Russian army, it was fielded as a replacement of SSh-68 helmet. It was adopted in the year 2000 as part of Borit-M program.

6B7 helmet was developed as part of Borit-M program in 1990s by NII Stali. Borit program has been started sometime in the second half of 1980s with a task to develop a new composite helmet for the Soviet army as a response to US PASGT helmets.

6B7 is the first generation composite helmet in service with the Russian army, being made out of a composite of aramid fabric and polymer. Discarding steel as a material allowed to make the helmet lighter compared to the previous SSh-68.

The helmet provides Br1 protection according to Russian GOST system.
