Talk:Sfera

I think you are getting confused there Comrade Voyin...

There are two "Sfera helmets"

1) The STSh-81 Sphera (plates are made of titanium alloy) (STSh means Special Titanium Helmet, introduced in 1981)

2) the SSSh-94 Sphera-S (SSSh means Special Steel Helmet, introduced in 1994) (with armor steel plates).

They both weigh 3.6Kg and both offer the same level of ballestic protection.

Neither are designed to be used for anything but assault troops in specific situations.

As far as I know, the SSSh-94 is simply a cheaper version of the STSh-81 rather than being for any different purpose, the weight and performance remain the same.

The "Maska" helmet is very different however and a much more advanced "SWAT helmet" with even greater ballistic protection and built in radio headset and microphone.

I edited this rather shabby page to include correct information.

The helmets are of different weight and protective values.
