Such a gas mask can protect military personnel from radiation, chemical and bacteriological contamination, as well as from blows and shrapnel. On the sides of the helmet there are special removable filters that provide respiratory protection.
Employees of the 27th scientific Center of the Ministry of Defense of Russia have patented a gas mask-armor helmet, which provides reliable protection of the carrier from various threats.
The document describing the invention is published on the website of the Federal Institute of Industrial Property.
It notes that "the invention relates to personal protective equipment of a person, namely to the field of weapons and equipment."
"With the undoubted advantages of the proposed device, it is not universal and cannot provide a serviceman with a variable level of protection in accordance with the type of weapons of mass destruction used and changes in the values of its damaging factors in the dynamics of the use of this tool, which is due to the design flaws of this analogue," the publication states.
Among them are noted: two filters in the front of the face mask, the need for constant use of a gas mask without the presence of radioactive, chemical and biological contamination, a rigid attachment of the under-mask, writes Sibnet.ru .
The unique gas mask is also equipped with a device for safe reception of liquids, a strong visor and an intercom device. It is assumed that the first novelty will be received by the servicemen of the Rosgvardiya.
