![]() | One piece fibreglass helmet first issued in the early '70 for use in combat jets (like the MiG-21 and SU-15). The mask is a KM-34, which is basically a KM-32 enclosed in a fibreglass shell. This made the mask sturdy externally, and thus allowed the pilot to reach higher altitudes (i.e. you can create a bigger pressure difference inside of the mask). This mask was larger then the KM-32, so it was more comfortable to wear. |
