A 1960’s Soviet/Russian GSh-6A high-altitude flight helmet.
Not only a piece of Soviet history but of the modern war in the Middle East.
This is unique and one of a kind. Found on a deceased Afghan during the Afghanistan war around 2002.
My mother’s husband fought 3 tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and ended up finding this helmet with the Afghan’s name on the back. “ Laith Hamid“ or “Laith Hameed”
Goes to show the Russian influence during the war.
The helmet still works and even remains stained from its experiences
