AI Overview
The Altyn is a legendary Soviet-era, titanium-shelled helmet used by Spetsnaz units for urban, counter-terrorist operations from the 1980s through the 2000s. Developed from Swiss PSH-77 designs, it features a 3-4mm titanium shell with an aramid backer and a removable armored visor. Known for excellent protection but high weight (~4 kg+), it was largely replaced by lighter, modern helmets.
