Russian/Soviet Шлем Маской Специальной (ШМС)
The Russian/Soviet Шлем Маской Специальной (ШМС) was made of gray rubber, featured a central speech diaphragm, and small round eyepieces for use with optical devices. Its filter was attached via corrugated hose. This example was made in Saratov in 1989.
Шлем Маской Специальной (ШМС) = "Special Helmet Mask (ShMS)"
