BVD



The BVD (romanized from БВД, short for "Боевая Выкладка Десантника" roughly standing for "Airborne Battle Vest") is a Soviet assault vest.

The BVD is said to have been the first assault vest made by the Soviet Union. It saw a lot of use during the Soviet war in Afghanistan and also, albeit in smaller numbers, during the First and Second Chechen war
