We're getting more news feeds and reviews from an increasingly active Russian airsoft community. This time it is Marty Airsoft who gives us an overview of the SPOSN Smersh Russian Tactical Vest. Designed to carry ammo for the AK, SVD, and PKM, this vest can be easily configured depending on the user's preferences or comfort.
The overview is in Russian, but Marty was kind enough to have English subtitles.
"Hey comrades, Marty broadcasting. Today we have the most famous Russian vest called SMERSH. The full name of it is RPS SMERSH. RPS means belt-shoulder system. The producer is the company called SPOSN (SSO). It differs actually.
RPS SMERSH has been made for more than 10 years. It’s the result of development of RPS Sbruya-Partizan made by SPOSN. SMERSH is popular among Russian military and police forces: Special Forces of Russian Armed Forces, Police Department (MVD), FSB and others. Let’s keep in mind that in this video I will tell about the older model of SMERSH that has been produced for more than 10 years without any differences. Currently, they make more modern variations of SMERSH with the MOLLE system. However, I’ll tell about them in another video.
So, why is SPERSH that popular? It divides the load between the shoulders and waist. Therefore, SMERSH is really liked by scouts who walk a lot. Pouches aren’t located on the chest like they’re on the vests and Chest RIGS but they’re on the each sides and on the belt level. That is why it is more convenient for a soldier. A little bit about the colors and materials now.
SPOSN sometimes changes the material and colors. Previously, it was avizent, then oxford, now it is 500D nylon. Durable and lightweight material. Equipment in SPECTRE and SPECTRE-SKWO camouflage is made of cordura."
