The Kipchak is a vest worn by Russian Spetnsaz operatives in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Contact DLC.

Overview

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Contact expansion pack.

Favoured by Russian Spetsnaz operatives for its light weight and modular setup, the Kipchak vest is a multipurpose harness suited for long distance patrols and reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines.

It weighs a "mass" of 30 and can store up to 160 units worth of ammunition/gear. Like the LBV Harness worn by their CSAT allies, the Kipchak does not have any plate inserts attached and provides absolutely no protection to either gunfire or explosives.

This is a premium asset that requires ownership of the Contact expansion pack.

Identical to regular Kipchaks but contains extra straps/covers for the radio pouch.

Storage-wise, it has the same amount of "mass" capacity as regular Kipchak vests (160) and also weighs the same (30).

Trivia

• In-game Kipchak vests are based on real-world "Smersh" chest rigs designed for use by Russian special operations and security forces.
  • The strapped radios are modelled after the "R-187-P1E" handheld radio designed by Angstrem, a Russian joint-stock company. The regular Kipchak has the basic variant attached while the Tactical Radio vest uses the ruggedised version with a bulkier frame.
