3 ages of PAVN's chestrig
Hi everyone, i will show you 3 ages of chestrig that i have. From down to up: Type 56 chicom chestrig (60-70) -> K13 chestrig -> K15 chestrig.
-Type 56 chicom chestrig: Chinese PLA has designed and entered mass production this type56 chicom chestrig for their own variant of AK47 (Type56) in late 1950s. When the Vietnam war started, they provided it with a enormous quantity to the North Vietnam, the PAVN has used it until the war ended in 1975.
-K13 chestrig: in 2013, Vietnam Ministry of Defence has designed a new type of chestrig for AK47, based on the origin type56 chicom chestrig but added more compartments, they added the K07 camo into it. You can see the PAVN's soldier wearing it with K07 uniform (2007-2017), K03 Sailor uniform (2003-2016) or other military branchs.
-K15 chestrig: in 2015, they changed again, but not based on the type56, they added more compartments for grenades, still using k07 camo and easier to wear/unwear. Today, they still using K15 chestrig but some unit are using the K13 or K14 chestrig.
