SSO Smersh: Russian Military Belt Kit
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Today I go over the SSO/SPOSN Smersh rig. A belt kit designed by the Russian military in the late 90's, as a means to replace their more outdated LBE.

Are you a BB Hero too?
hai admin :3
Skinny ah boi
one paper cut and its so over...love yolur content admin btw just bought sadf gear from your video
I'm an ak guy and up in the mountains. This gear is a godsend when rucking it. Best gear I've owned. Distributes weight to the hips and shoulders than just the shoulders.
Yep, I couldn't agree more.
I'm a post-9/11, U.S. Marine veteran. Was active with 2nd Marine Division 2005-2009. When I got out, I got my first Russian AK-74 (before the ban) and SMERSH LBE.....never looked back.
When I was first in 2005 we still were rocking the old school gear. We were actually the last group before all the newer issued stuff came out in 2006. I still remember training with the 782 gear and the Russian SMERSH is way better and more comfortable.
If you plan on being on foot for long periods and over various rough terrain (I'm in the mountains as well)....THIS IS THE WAY. 😎
I actually want to get a smersh sas srvv vest. Just a doubt when in the mountains can u also wear a rucksack while having the vest on without getting uncomfy?
@@ojasvisikarwar5201 For me, it gets in the way. If I have an additional rucksack, I'll just take off the vest and have it strapped to the outside of the ruck. I use a USMC ILBE so it's a real quick and easy on and off.
In an emergency, I can quickly drop the pack, grab the vest and run.
@@pennsyltuckyreb9800 Hmm so ig for a mountain recce kit I should go with a chest rig only and maybe not consider having a load bearing vest
Take the dividers out and rotate the mags. You can hold 3 instead of 2 per pouch. You know, when your feeling overly motivated.
The thing about older gen being better is just in regards to building a specific "impression" of some Russian units like what airsofters often do. But if you're looking for functionality, then go for new gen smersh. There is a reason why they always update the design, they want it to be better.
No always sometimes they just want it to be cheaper
Guntube has been putting out ridiculously high quality intros for a few years now. I think there's an untapped niche for high quality videos of high sped* low drag LARPing over bomb ass music in the gun community.
*this is not a typo ;)
The worst part of the smersh is just people telling you the old one is better all the time 🤣
You may already know this but in the top flap of the butt pouch there’s another compartment, not game changing or anything but I keep some little things in there
true. i have a modern one covered in molle... just perfect
Facts and most the guys going on about thr older one is better arnt evne talking about the smersh they are usually talking about the old partizan harness from the afghan war era
@@jacobkite5497 The Partizan isn't from the Afghan war era though. The Partizan was deployed almost in parallel with the first models of the Smersh, but it was a contract for some SOF units. Both are post-soviet era.
The Partizan is rarer. Old Smersh had "better" materials (heavier-duty) than modern ones, but you're not breaking either.
smersh is actually really confortable and useful.
what were those guys with jeans and black hoodies?? i remember seeing photos of them, i know some kind of russian operators, but don't remember where and when they were.
Russian GRU during the annexation of Crimea.
SOBR and FSB RO(S)SN/O(G)SOM also does that sometimes
In Ukraine
Honestly after Russia stopped exports, DHL pulled out of Russia and Swift was stopped my first thought was damn I wish I had a second set of SSO gorkasmersh and a extra summer suit
You should try get your hands on a 6sh104, was seen is use during the Crimea conflict and in the current conflict too actually, its basically an even more comfortable version of smersh webbing 👌
USGI ALICE canteen pouches can be fitted via ALICE clips.
I have both ALICE and smersh, ALICE can fit on smersh, but smersh can not fit onto ALICE. Measurement of the belt for smersh is supposed to be 2", as is the ALICE belt per specs... but the buckles on ALICE are actually closer to 2.5", which prevents them from accepting smersh pouches and the like. Cool thing about earlier gen smersh, was that they actually had copied ALICE, you can see this on early 2000's models with the buttpacks.
Man you are making me want to get a Smersh.
Have you done it yet? I really really recommend it
@knucklesandwichdude133 not yet but looking hard at it.
There are a couple of d rings on the but pack that you can use to better secure it to the rig, I recommend using them. The rings attach to the same place as the yoke straps.
I have smersh molle version it's fantastic and can add whatever newer pouches you need to better fit radios and medkits super comfy too
Just ordered mine based off your video. Really enjoy your video reviews. Clear and straight
Hey where did you order your Smersh vest from??
And now we’ll never know where to get a viable ak belt rig…
@@fireemblemistrash75 Kommandostore has a new production smersh for $300 shipped at time of writing.
@@JoseSanchez-yz6pb he didn't order shit
Perfect video as always Nick. Just enough flair. No nose in the air. And straight data
I love the SMERSH. There are so many different variations of it so as to permit mixing and matching of what you'd want while also staying within the same color. The issue I've had with my SMERSH (2017 made) is basically the metal triglides and pouch rings rusting. Newer SSO ones seem to switch to polymer triglides but have kept the metal rings and those are easily treatable with spray paint or other coating.
My 2004 rig that was deployed in the Caucaus for several tours has not a spec of rust. SSO really fell off
Rust issue with my triglides as well, rest of the rig is pretty solid though. Mine is a new gen as well, marked "SSO"
The whole "NOOOOOOO, NEW GEN ONES SUCK, YOU NEED TO BUY A 2004 MODEL" thing is literally just fashion.

Poppin smoke 😳
I used to have one and I looked at it through a pvs 14 and it shined like crazy. It was white under night vision
I would kill for a range like this to shoot at
That beat though 🔥
I use a Smersh kit myself, but since I'm in a ban state I use mine to carry sunglass holder, ammo, repair kit, cloth, and the all important WD40
That intro was cold af
the best belt suspender ever invented even more the us alice kit i have all the 3 version , for ak svd and machine gun .i also have some western bodyarmojr on how mutch the war goin on you know 🤣
If you get some tent waterproofing spray the butt pack will work as a waterproof bag
Might be a bit late since video is 2 months old but I own both a newgen smersh set and a oldgen mixed set with parts from 2001 and 2005. Considering all the talk between newgen and oldgen I picked up the newgen for research purposes to compare the two. Since I have had the oldgen for 4 years now and the newgen for 3 I feel like I have gotten enough time to look and use both of them. To put it bluntly the differences are very minor even down to materials. The oldgen uses avizent as a sort of liner for the mag pouches but the outside material of heavy duty nylon remains the same. The stitching is also very similar. A lot of people try and bring up that the stitching on the oldgen is better then the newgen but the differences are so minor that I don't really think that it makes enough of a difference. My oldgen has been a beauty to wear but it also uses a different style of shoulder pads designed for PKM gunners and also uses a belt padding more like a partisan harness (lacks the additional padding and material on the lower back and upper ass). Unfortunately SSO no longer makes these accessories. I guess a final point was back 4 years ago when I purchased my oldgen the prices were quite reasonable, usually oldgens were priced only $10 more for basic sets and upwards of $50-$100 more depending on the amount of accessories and rarity of them. My big hatred for newgen was founded on the idea that you could get an almost new oldgen for just $10 more and I saw little to no reason to buy a newgen but now the prices start at around $100 more then newgen for a basic oldgen therefore my reason to hate it is gone. TLDR The differences are super minor and even if I do think that the oldgen has slightly better accessories there's no real difference or enough of one to make any impact on it.
Where are you buying, I'm looking at smersh/Russian gear and its reaching ~500% upmark than what you've mentioned
@@Gabriel_the_Shemite my original comment is only a year old but it's pretty outdated in terms of pricing. Even if you source from the same people I buy from your still looking at at-least 300%. I mainly source all my gear from private individuals from Russia that operate facebook pages/accounts dedicated to selling gear. I won't name any for a few reasons but it does not take a lot of digging to find some of them.
Hey would you be down to sell your old Smersh? Need a period correct one for a guy in our team
We need more of these videos man sooooo badass intro
NEEDS. MORE. AVIZENT!
Looking forward to the PSAK 104 review
Your AR is craving some PLCE.
I think the only issue I have had with mine is a small crack that developed in the waist buckle. I just swapped it out and was good to go.
Just got one for $35 dollars, such a steal and I love it!
What? where?n
Going to get one of those rigs.
If you haven't already replaced the brace, you should check out the Bonesteel galil style folding brace
I'm sure I'll catch some flack for this, but I'm not a fan of the smersh. I use a larger pack when I mountain with my guns, and that ruck is on my hips - so I either had to use a different big backpack that's only on my shoulders, or take the smersh off. I personally found neither was ideal.
For me the standard chest rig works better. I can use it with my pack, and all of the really heavy stuff is on my hips and legs. I can cope with a handful of magazines on my shoulders.
Just my $0.02. I know mainstream stuff isn't as cool, but there's usually a reason why retro gear gets replaced. It works, but it didn't work well enough to survive the test of time compared to other designs.
To me the smersh is just a gigantic battle belt with a harness. For some people it works, I'm just not one of them.
I take the buttpack off when rucking and mount the buttpack ontop my rucksack. Simple as
Awesome video, man! How well does the fighter brake handle the fireball and flash for the Ak-p? I would love an Ak pistol, but I'm unsure of how to get that fireball under control
Should've called themselves the National Institute for Gun Rights
Can you review the GM-94? It would go well with your Crimea GRU operator kit.
well this got spicy real fucking quick
POWER COUPLE
Looking good!😎
Is there any way to take off the AK mag pouches and put on AR mag pouches? I’m guessing they’re not attached by molle.
sbruya partizan harness superiority! they dont make em like they used to :D
Man i want a war ship.
I like it. Reminds Me of Big Boss.
The forbidden LARP
Got my Smersh about a month ago, nice system to run, probably not easy to find currently or might be interesting to find shippers that can get it to you with UPS and DHL not doing business with Russia at the moment.
Frey shop is still selling and shipping Smersh rigs rusmil seems to have stopped selling to foreigners
@@bigbird799 Never heard of them, I'll google them. Thanks
Vid quality is def improving man! Keep it up! Btw, whats the name of the song?
We do a little larpin
Hey brother hopefully you see this been wanting to make a ak47 set up. And I was wondering where you bought your Smersh rig?
The timelines are merging....Soon Admin Results will spawn with G-Daddy to combat the Ron J threat
Chechen IFF armband
I doubt your going to be able to get any SSO gear now! Zemtco said Russian post is still available to ship but I'm not sure that's going to be an option.
Greyshop is still shipping via DHL no problem
Love me smersh
Any airsofters know of the tm saiga mags fit in the Smersh pouches.
where did you get that SSO Smersh belt ?
So basically Russian Alice gear?
Wow 😳
As a desert dude my kit has a camel pack
What type of ak is the one with the mro?
BJO joining tf 420? Nothing like a good ak intro. Yours and gunthots are my favorite music based larp into so far. Moar akm plz..
I see you got the new gen smersh. Perfectly functional, but try to get an older one if you can. They're just cooler.
The PSA AK104 is a 12.5" pistol? As a pistol the brace can be added without sbr?
Only 350 views ): love Ur channel
What dose smersh stand for ?
Just get an eagle industries h harness and add the surplus pouches itll be cheaper and better made
Similar price: ats war belt and danish h suspenders
I also got myself this Smersh kit and I'm loving it. Planning of getting a plate carrier soon but I don't know where to start. Anyone has a suggestion?

Would this work with AR mags? Have you tried it?
It does. you need to put some foam or something in the bottom of the pouch though because they're deep. Take out the divider and each pouch will fit 3 5.56 mags
Could you also wear a backpack while wearing this? Or no room?
Also what about room for pistol holster on hip
A high riding pack ie Alice or crossfire pack work beautifully long alpine style bags don’t really work
@@bigbird799 gotcha. I guess Russian soldiers don’t wear pistols? Or maybe they keep them in their prison pockets. Doesn’t look like there’s room for a holster and spare pistol mags
@@RosaParksWasWyt you can put a pistol on either side of the mag pouches but it’s going to be at a awkward position to draw from
@@bigbird799 perhaps if I used a drop leg holster. And maybe I’d have to use one of the ak mag pouches as my spare pistol mag pouch
How do you carry a pistol with a Smersh?
You add a holster to the belt
Where did you get this?
Grey Shop
Biggest problem: finding one
when this county was created a man could own a war ship. thats what the founding fathers thought.
Not inspired by the ALICE
Inspired by british webbing
pronounced “Smeer’dsh”
Putting those white armbands on corresponds to putting old german swastika on. Same shit.
You’re opinion
@@WallStreet-ou3ub I'm telling you. It's the same symbol. Combined with the AK, it's a symbol of an occupant. Just like the old swastika.
