History:
the Altyn was a copy of the swiss TIG Psh-77. Early versions of the Altyn consisted of a simple titanium shell with a head harness however it was found that the shell had a tendency to spall or shatter when struck. to combat this a aramid fiber backer was added, this not only stopped the spalling fragments but also provided added protection, as a round passing through the shell would fragment and the backer would prevent these fragments from injuring the wearer.
