6B23-1 Combat Vest — RF3 Ceramic Plates & HG2 Soft Armor | Authentic Surplus Carrier

Pricing will change with stock. Authentic. Original. Reborn. The 6B23-1 was the standard combat vest of the Russian Armed Forces from 2003 until the Ratnik program replaced it in 2015. Designed by NPP KlASS and produced by NII Stali, the 6B23-1 was issued across motorized rifle, airborne, and naval infantry units. Its distinctive silhouette — chin-notched upper chest plate over a rectangular lower abdominal plate, asymmetric back panel, side and shoulder coverage — defines an era of Russian combined-arms doctrine. This is a genuine surplus 6B23-1 carrier paired with brand-new Gilliam Arms armor: modern ceramic mosaic plates and current-generation soft armor in the original 6B23-1 geometry. Authenticity collectors and reenactors value, with protection that meets contemporary American manufacturing standards. What's Included Original 6B23-1 Carrier — Genuine Russian-issue carrier in EMR digital flora or VSR-98 Flora camouflage. Surplus condition with factory markings, NII Stali stamps,
