MP-6 gas mask


The MP-6 Gas Mask is a Polish military gas mask, which replaces the MP-5 masks.

Design

The MP-6 mask is designed to protect the soldier's respiratory system from toxic warfare agents, radioactive dust and bacterial aerosols. In addition, the mask's design allows for the intake of fluid and conversation while wearing it.
The NATO standard filter is attached to the mask from the side. The panoramic visor from the MP-5 mask is replaced by two smaller glasses. Additionally, the mask glasses are protected with polycarbonate ballistic lenses.
The fluid collection tube is NATO standard, allowing you to attach a water bottle, canteen or camel toe.

Development

The mask is manufactured by Maskpol, a company belonging to the Polish Armaments Group. Maskpol previously also produced MP-5 masks.
The mask was presented at MSPO 2010, at MSPO 2011 and MSPO 2012.
On October 12, 2012, an agreement was signed between the Armament Inspectorate and Maskpol for the delivery of 28,400 MP-6 gas masks in the years 2012–2015. The cost of the masks is to be approximately PLN 21.1 million.
