Russian Army RD 54 VSR98

A original Russian army RD 54 assault backpack in VSR98 pattern camouflage. Originally designed in 1954 for use with the VDV (Russian airborne forces), the backpack is still in active use today. The pack can be worn in 2 positions ‘Jump’ and ‘Patrol’. In the jump position it is worn much lower on the back to accommodate a parachute.

The wire framed pack consists of a main compartment and 2 side compartments. The RD54 packs come with a double AK74 magazine pouch and a double grenade pouch. The pouch on the right shoulder is for the MPL-50 shovel when the pack is worn in ‘jump’ position.

The pack is dated for 2005 with the inside flap of the main compartment showing the Russian OTK military acceptance stamp.

The pack and pouches are in good used condition with no holes or rips.

Good example.
