Visor withstands two shots from Stechkin: "Bars-M" titanium armored helmet developed for the Russian military

"Kalashnikov" will present it for the first time at the "Army-2024" forum

The Research Institute of Steel (part of the Kalashnikov concern) will present the modernized Bars-M titanium armored helmet with a new visor for the first time at the Army-2024 International Military-Technical Forum. The product is a continuation of the Bars line of titanium helmets.

The structure of the helmet remained the same, although the development itself differs from its predecessors in a new form factor, closer to the real shape of the human head, as well as the presence of stampings for low-profile active headphones in the ear area.

A special glass structure was created, which consists of a combination of materials. As a result, the visor can withstand two shots from a 9-mm Stechkin automatic pistol at a temperature range from -40°C to +40°C.
