The Kolpak-20 helmet is being gradually integrated into the Russian Army and replaces the Ssh-68 helmet, which is also in use on Ukrainian battlefields.
This particular helmet bears white tape, used to identify friend from foe, and was captured in late 2024 near Kurakhove in the Donetsk Oblast. This piece comes to us courtesy of the Ukrainian 79th Tavrian Air Assault Brigade, which is defending the area.
