the fact that the ssh68 performed so badly might have been caused by a problem with the heat treat or some other kind of heat damage, Mike B also encountered this with his first test of the 68
I've noticed this, but if two youtubers have encountered a heat treat issue with the 68, the helmet really is junk.

Man U can tell Ox was pissed at these helmets, I haven’t heard him sound that bummed in a long ass time 😂
Russian helmets exept ssh40 an ssh 60 (they are the same) suck
The 6b47 and 6b7-1m use "dry aramid fibre" on the inside, which means aramid without resin. This makes the helmet lighter, but it also makes it deform more when hit. This work against fragmentation, but as shown it presents issues when shot with higher kinetic energy projectiles like bullets. According to Russian testing, the ssh-68 is slightly superior to the ssh-60, maybe it only works against fragmentation. From what I have seen, the "K1" alloy used seems brittle. Thanks for the video
Yeah, the SSh-68 offers terrible protection from bullets, but the shape (wide and conical) imply it's better than other, more "spherical" steel pot helmets against shrapnel.
That explains a lot! Thanks!
@@paulcziganj4257 check mikeb's channel. He made a revised test of the ssh68 steel pot and it performed pretty well
Great video, thanks! Hello from Russia. I now the 6b47 maded after 2015 worse, than the 6b47 maded in 2014 years. Becouse changed the manufacturing principle at the factory. Initially, Kevlar was glued in one piece, and after 2015, only the outer layers were glued with resin in these helmets. Sorry for my bad English, i am start learning your language recently.
English can be a pain, but I wish you the best!

If you're looking for a steel helmet, you shuld really try to get your hands on an East German M56, it's widely considered to be the one that offers the best protection. I remember it stopping steel cored 9mm and .357 quite well from other video tests.
I picked up a romanian (or hungarian idk) copy of the ssh40 for 30$ on sportsman's guide, looks exactly like the russian one. It's a bit heavy and has some marks but it's a really great deal. To get a helmet that well performing for that cheap is a steal. Ditch the 400 dollar zoomer tac helmets and return to gopnik militia tradition.

7:28 to answer your question yes infact they value there soldiers more as cannon fodder then we do
What a bullshit
Lmao do You Even know what cannon fodder is?
Ox, the Russian requirements for helmets are: to withstand direct hit by a 9x18 and 9x19 mm, or a shrapnel fragment on a speed approx 630 meters/sec. As far as I saw the helmet met the requirements, but failed the .44 test. Not surprising, since it should not.
Which makes sense, since the most common military pistol round in eastern Europe, and the most common military pistol round period.
and seemingly the russian standard for head protection hasnt changed since ww2, which is quite concerning for an army that tries to pose as modern. Seems like the aramid helmets are only there to give the impression something has been doen about head protection by introducing modern looking helemts, but in reality they perform the same or worse than steel helmets.

"Is this how much they think the life of a Russian soldier is worth?”
Oh boy, that comment aged like fine wine my friend!
the last 30 seconds is where the magic happens
Boy did that last question age poorly
The SSh-40 was one of the best steel helmets made. However, (that word is doing a lot of leg work) after all this time their is no excuse for not surpassing it by miles. Just look at the many generations of helmets that have come with no real gains.
It seemed like the titanium helmets offered better protection and coverage, but I could be completely wrong
Something to consider is that virtually no military uses subguns or pistols in a standard combat environment. Just about everything is a high velocity small bore bullet. There is in many ways not a purpose to having an army helmet that stops most pistol rounds. Fragmentation protection is infinitely more important.
@@lardthing7417 Altyns are kinda meh, they're heavy and are worse than regular modern ballistic helmets, like most bad things (the SCAR) video games have hyped them up.
@@piotrgrzelak2613 The vast majority of helmets are only Level III-A protective materials, per NIJ 0108.01, are rated to stop 124 grain 9mm FMJ rounds as well as 240 grain 44 Magnum, each at a nominal velocity of 1,400 feet per second. Helmet protection is more about ricochet than straight stopping force.
@@hagostaeldmann The vast majority of helmets are Level III-A protective materials, per NIJ 0108.01, are rated to stop 124 grain 9mm FMJ rounds as well as 240 grain 44 Magnum, each at a nominal velocity of 1,400 feet per second. The stop bullets with ricochets not the actual rating of the helmet (III-A helmets who shug aside 7.62x54r if the angle isn't good enough). Fragmentation isn't any more important especially when considering most of these are helmets and not full face shields so frags will still end you and so will the concussive force ... that's just Russian logic because they can't make decent armor ... they're helmets are basically rated as Oakleys lol.

CANT WAITTA GETTA SMELLA THEES
That "Aw fuck!" after the crono shot was the funniest shit I've seen all day
Guess you cant blame the Russians who stuck with older gear as long as they did. Sure, the weight is absurd on some of those helmets, but shit at end of the day survival is all.
Thanks for these tests! Sure makes a day on the ambulance a bit more fun.
The General Director of the Center for High Strength Materials noted that, according to the experience of armed conflicts, soldiers are hit first and foremost by shrapnel. That is why the emphasis was placed on anti-shrapnel protection in the design of the helmet, and the bullet was seen as the equivalent of a heavy, high-speed shrapnel
@@michaelp3739 Definitely. All helmets are designed for shrapnel before anything else, not going to dispute that at all.
Next up PLA QGF03 “PASGT Clone”
They supposedly offer the same level of protection as a PASGT, but there's only one way to find out for sure.
@John Wayne yeah, the PLA overall is a paper tiger. US forces that have trained with PLA troops have also commented on their lack of training, which isn't surprising because the PLA focuses more on teaching troops to be loyal to the CCP than on actual tactics and survival skills.
@John Wayne So.....good? And what's the evidence behind the first two? *Disclaimer: This is out of pure curiosity.
@John Wayne Hm. I can only partially agree with the aircraft engine aspect. The Chinese have recently started producing aircraft with their own engines: the WS-10B and C along with the WS-20. However their engine tech is still behind the US’s level despite it being good enough for its current purpose. As for size, I definitely agree with you for now since it is obvious they wanna catch up in displacement tonnage for ships. For electronics, I’m not familiar with em, so I can’t judge. However, how are their naval personal crap? As of now, I haven’t heard much about them being incompetent. They haven’t caused any accidents that I heard of nor have their ships stalled in the middle of the ocean.
i appreciate all you do man. this is such cool stuff and i can't even begin to imagine how much you spent on these
SADF and Rhodesian troops laughing with their bush hats: "why carry extra weight on your head when you can carry some extra 7.62 lead"
Different wars. Introducing even the lowly Adrian helmet in WWI decreased deaths from head injury by 60%.
I would if the rounds mounted bullet upwards in a hat would act as reactive armor and slow down the incoming projectile.
@@dewlittle1211 I've even heard somewhere that WW1 helmets were even better for protection against shrapnel impact, but that was at least a year ago if memory serves right.
@@danmorgan3685 The Stahlhelm was a lot more effective when it came to protecting the users neck and the back of the head from shrapnel. It was heavier and it made you deaf tho.

@@fishyfish6050 special forces get worse helmets than regulars? Some how that looks worse lol
@@toolbox6740 You completely ignore the fact that the point of the ops core helmet is to be lightweight which is why they even allow you to wear headset along with being able to mount nvgs.
Also he was clearly pissed off during the ops core helmet aswell yet you for some reason ignore that
There is no reason for a standard issue helmet to deform this bad
@@fishyfish6050ECH is basically standard issue now and has similar deformation.
another amazing ballistics test video keep them comin man
The chronograph getting shot got me
Do not agree with your disappointment. ) 6B47 is the best lightweight helmet in the world. It weights 1.09 kg or 2.5 pounds. It's nothing. For how long you can wear IIIA helmets which weigt 1.6 kg or 3.5 pounds? Well not for long. And this is a problem.
And 6B47 you can wear for 24 hours or more.
Today i bought 6B47 for myself just in case. To be ready. And really happy with this. The price was 200 US dollars. )
A standard infantry helmet should not be considered a lightweight helmet. Soldiers have died because of this thinking. Your countrymen.
@@Oxide_does_his_best OK, got your position. But when you are in trenches for days... without any "vacation"... it hard to wear 3 and more pounds on your head. 6b47 is very good in fragments protection. This the main purpose of helmets. But in case I decided to make additional cover from uhmwpe for 6B47 ) to update protection level and make it more versatile. My experiment.)
How are you, I like your videos very much. I've been watching for a while now and don't expect to quit anytime soon. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate you and videos! :D
To be fair these helmets as oxide mentioned are against scrapnel not bullets. And for conventional war its logical, cause you either way will get shot by rifle calibre round in which case the bulge wont matter cause it will go right threw. Chance you will get shot by a pistol is minimal in war.
The 6b47's best attribute is the weight. It's much lighter that western ballistic helmets (such as an ACH with NVG mount and rails). Out of the factory, it already has metal rails and an NVG mount attached. Ballistic protection is most important, but low weight is also important, especially if you patrol for extended periods without getting shot at.
Do you wear NIJ III or IV plates?
But it's a problem the moment you _do_ get shot at
It's basically a bump helmet, lol.
I am a bit surprised about the 6b47s performance. I was optimistic it could halt .357 without that much deformation. Stopping 9x19 is standard across European helmets like the German M92, so the only advantage is the lower weight of the modern russian example.
Why are you surprised that 1 kg GOST 1 rated helmet doesn't fare well against threats rated over GOST 1 ?
@@darkon112 I maybe have to rephrase... not necessarily surprised, but since I have a 6b47 and the direct comparison to said German helmet I expected the Russian example to not bulge under the .357 quite as much. Deformation - yes. Possibly a serious head injury - yes. But not that hammerblow
I subbed in this channel for War Thunder a long time ago, stayed for the videos that probably will be used against me in the tribunal in the future. But those pen tests are really cool, specially since you don't make them 30 minutes long.
I'm really disappointed In military helmets of my country.
I hope in a future we will make better ones, because we have potential and a lot of modern companies which are producing military gear in private area, but they can make something for our army)
So, thank you for this video, was interesting like always.
Good luck and stay sharp)
Don't. It's all about doctrine. Russian doctrine states that helmets are only required to prevent shrapnels wounds, not direct bullets hits ! It's a dual doctrine that stands since WW1 ! Yo want either a heavy but bullet proof helmet for some rare case of "one stray bullet" ends in your forehead or protect your whole army against massive shelling from enemy artillery ? Odds are inclining toward massive shelling to be more likely to happen. Of course, they got "special application" helmets that are bullet proof but what's the point giving them to your whole army for such low odds ?
@@Real_Claudy_Focan maybe you are right.
But maybe nowadays we can make something better with same weight.
Напротив, 6б47 на этом видео превзошел сам себя, он не должен был выдержать .357 от слова совсем. Он рассчитан только на стальною пулю 9х18 и на свинцовую пулю нагана. Но спешу тебя обрадовать Армоком, собирается делать их из СВМПЭ и вроде как ни должны стать попрочнее.

Huh...Ukrainian army helmet is better than...just ugly
4:45 this is so wholesome
Awesome analysis as always Oxide, keep it up!
You can get pads in the new russian helmets, I just bought some team Wendy pads and removed the suspension system and put the team Wendy pads in my 6b47. You still have the crappy chinstrap though. Iirc the suspension system was found on the pasgt to actually cause more injuries so its better to remove it.
The British, Italian, Dutch, and German militaries still use similar suspension systems. US M1 pot and PASGT helmets did as well, which is what I was issued back in the day.
There's actually a significant airspace between the internal suspension (when worn) and the shell of the helmet itself, such that ~20mm of deformation wouldn't even reach the side of the head. The reviewer seems unaware of this. Not saying the newer "football helmet" pad systems aren't better, but that this old style isn't necessarily garbage.
@@fallout1116 the problem is you cant wear over ear protection with it or use the crappy russian gssh "head sock" variety. Also modern pads have a rating of their own to dampen the bfd. Also modern team Wendy cloudliner and other helmet have plastic cooling vents too
Been waiting for this video for awhile. Great work 👍
Pog oxide video. what an excellent way to end off the series. cant wait for those vids teased at the end
Thanks oxide. I have been waiting for the Shh ballistics test
I've been told that the lesser protection of the modern ratnik helmets compared to its contemporaries has been to lower the weight of gear to the infantry man wearing it. Though it could have just been made to be cheaper as well.
Both.
Helmet weight is unsuspended weight and really fucks with your neck more than it might seem. To me, it seems that the regular army only get frag helmets, while the strike teams kicking doors for a living will get the heavier law enforcement k pots that stop bullets.
Heat retention is also a factor I think. I'd reckon the old suspension bucket dissipate heat better than foam pads.

so you mean to tell me, the penis helmet cant deflect 762x51 m61????
😅
You are a national hero for the history of everything
Honestly the 6b47 I was already expecting it to be equivalent to a decent steel helmet given its weight. I got it back in the mid 2010s when I had more cash and the only other helmets I had were the us M1 and an M88 PASGT. It's so damn light I doubted it would stop more than a 9mm to begin with and I came from the old school mentality of "helmets are for frag protection and nods mounts only". I have have some minor customization that improved it, not in terms of ballistic protection but fit and comfort. Kept the headband ditched the rest of the sus system and added aftermarket US style velcro pads so It fits more securely and comfortably. The GSSH's "headsock" tweaked a bit to fit better, unlike some aftermarket kits. Replaced the russian helmet light with a more durable US one after I found out just how easy the ruski ones break by dropping it just once. I don't do night stuff very often so I'm still working on a counterweight setup and I'm also looking into aftermarket covers for it.
Anyone have recommendations on a good bipod for the side pic rail? XD
I love the ace combat music whilst the tests are going on
The 6b47 is definitely one of my favorite looking helmets
So this is more or less a crowd funded gun channel I love it!

Solid testing. As someone who understands how much effort this takes: thank you!
Important to point out for all the people laughingly the comments at how crap the helmets are, it’s stated in the video that all the helmets shown here are only the GOST 1 rated models, Russia has 6 levels of GOST rating. This level is basically on par with US lvl.1 armor rating, what your really looking for is something like a lvl.2 or lvl.3a, which is more in line with Russian GOST 2 levels

Thanks for the informative ballistic test on those authentic Russian army helmets. I am very curious about the test result of 6B14 (ssh68M). Do you think it has reached NIJ level 3A or more? I really had high anticipation for this one because of its special design. Theoretically, it should stop some powerful calibre rounds with its design.
3a absolutely
Awesome video and content man!
Great video, its really cool to see an actual ballistics test on modern military helmets. 6B47 seems to be significantly inferior to the US Military issued ECH helmet which is capable of stopping most rounds up to 7.62x39 and even 7.62x54 from a PKM at 20ft (although this did happen under combat conditions not test conditions and I doubt you could expect it to consistently stop this caliber). Also it supposedly only weighs 3lbs which is quite impressive.

It's funny how they put so much protection Into their body armor, such as the 6b43/6b45 vest, yet their most modern helmet can only stop regular 9mm and barely stop 45. ACP. And like one dude said somewhere In the comments, during 2015, the design of the 6b47 was changed significantly, therefore, downgrading the overall protection of It. My guess Is the much earlier models could stop the vast majority of handgun rounds.
Yeah I agree. It might be because their MOD has a weight and flotation requirement for their marines.
I love the look of the ZSH 1-2m
Nah man, I've totally had an ssh68 bounce mosin rounds
