Mark K Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I was really pleased to be able to add a Ukrainian KASKA-1M dated to 2013 as produced by Temp 3000 to my collection as part of a trade with a fellow collector in Italy.. This particular example is sporting a four point harness with an interesting mesh dome pad for additional comfort I have not seen another example of a Kaska with this particular option.. Take note it has the earlier first variation chinstrap/harness as the second variation was improved upon with the addition of a rotating buckle were the chinstrap harness webbing attaches to the side of the helmet body.. In and or around 2014 a new camouflage pattern was introduced these covers are primarily being used on the Ukrainian made helmets... This pattern is known to have been used as early as 2014 by the Ukrainian 79th Air-mobile Brigade from Mykolaiv Oblastengagement whom engaged Russian separatist in the Donbas region. The camo pattern called "ВАРАН" ВСУ ("Varan" VSU), consists of two main components: a green + light/brown + brown + olive coloured base, and a 3-D looking grid that helps to further break the soldier's silhouette from a distances. I have included an official Ukrainian document, dated 2015, which describes this type of cover construction but I believe it to be for the second variation cover..

Desert Rat Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hello Mark, It makes a great change to see many more different helmets from all armed forces across the World, they all have different models, strengths and fabrications, good to see the changes over the years. Many Thanks.....Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
