An original Russian 6B45 “Ratnik” general-purpose body-armour vest in EMR digital camouflage, captured by a serving member of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The manufacturer’s label identifies it as a 6B45, version 01, produced by NPF Tekhinkom. It is size 2, serial number 25-2347, with a production date of February 2025.

This extensive configuration includes the main vest, protective collar, shoulder and upper-arm sections, lower protection and an assortment of attached ammunition and utility pouches. Please study all photographs carefully to establish exactly what is included. No hard ballistic plates are supplied.

CAPTURE HISTORY

There is no accompanying paperwork or independently verifiable record identifying the original Russian wearer, location or circumstances of capture.

The vest was given to our trusted friend Olena by a trusted contact serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He stated that he had personally captured it from Russian forces. It was subsequently passed to Ukraine UK Aid and brought to the United Kingdom.

CONDITION — PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

This is a genuine captured trophy vest—not cleaned commercial surplus.

It is extremely dirty, dusty and heavily marked from field use. It also has a strong smell. Buyers should expect ingrained dirt, dust, staining, wear, fraying and signs of prolonged operational use and storage.

It will be supplied in the condition shown. These characteristics form part of its history and authenticity but may make it unsuitable for buyers expecting clean or wearable surplus equipment.

LOCATED IN THE UK — READY FOR IMMEDIATE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING

This item is already in the United Kingdom and ready for immediate dispatch worldwide, subject to the laws and customs requirements of the destination country.

Removing military artefacts from Ukraine is becoming increasingly difficult, with additional export restrictions, transport problems and the continuing disruption caused by the war. Buying this UK-based example means that it has already completed that uncertain journey and does not need to pass through the increasingly difficult Ukrainian export process. It can be sent using conventional tracked international shipping, providing substantially greater certainty of delivery than an item still located inside Ukraine.

Please contact us for an accurate shipping quotation before purchasing. International customers are responsible for checking their own import regulations and for any customs charges or taxes.

COLLECTOR’S ITEM ONLY

The vest and any protective components have not been tested or certified. They must not be relied upon for ballistic or personal protection. This item is sold solely as a historical display and collectors’ artefact.

Your purchase will support the continuing humanitarian work of Ukraine UK Aid CIC.
