Stacking of cartridges in packs is allowed.

Packing a hand grenade RG-42 (F-1) into a bag

Insert the shovel into the case with the handle down, place the tray with the concave side towards the back of the parachutist, close the valve and fasten the toggles.

In its base, the product has the design of the well-known, time-tested satchel of a paratrooper paratrooper RD-54.

Volume:

• General - 13.5 liters
  
• Side pockets - 3 liters (2 x 1.5)
  
• Pot pocket - 2.25 liters
  
• Main compartment - 8.25 liters

RD-11 retained the traditional appearance and, in part, the layout of the RD-54 sample. At the same time, significant functional changes were also made to the design of the product. The knapsack lost its ability to be used during landing, however, it received a simplified design.

The product was based on a closed load-bearing frame made of belt bands, which is a traditional design solution for many products developed and manufactured by Zastava. This scheme provides maximum operational strength of the product. The carcass tapes are simultaneously also summers for fastening external loads. With their help, various rolls of soft objects can be fixed on the outer part of the satchel: a warm jacket, a camouflage net, a sleeping bag, etc. A rocket-propelled flamethrower or a rocket-propelled grenade can be carried on the lower mount.

The satchel specifically does not have integrated soft shoulder pads. This is done so that when worn over combat equipment (for example, over the soft shoulder pads of a tactical vest), an unnecessarily thick "sandwich" is not created, which interferes with the butt when firing from an individual weapon and restricts the freedom of movement of the hands.

Instead of the toggle clasps used on the RD-54, the new satchel received simple, reliable and silent "Beloomut" clasps on the covers of the main volume and side pockets. The lids of the pockets for the pot and the shovel are closed with a contact tape (the so-called "Velcro"). To prevent rubbing the cover of the pocket for a shovel with its blade, a leather reinforcement is sewn onto the cover from the inside.

Various items can be inserted into the gap between the main volume of the satchel and its side pockets: pickaxe, machete, etc. The left slot is made through (without a bottom), the right one is blind (with a bottom, like a pocket)

The right strap of the satchel in its lower part is equipped with an element quick reset. Handles are made on the back and front surfaces, which can be used both for transporting the satchel and for transporting the victim with the satchel on.

Unlike the RD-54, the RD-11 has an external pocket for storing a combined-arms or combined landing can and a small infantry shovel. This allows you to free up the main volume of the backpack for storing ammunition and other items of personal combat equipment. In this case, the food ration can be compactly stowed inside the field pot.

The location of the infantry shovel on the front surface of the knapsack with the handle down was carefully tested for convenience when operating with the knapsack on. Despite all the originality of the layout solution, there were no complaints about the place and method of location of the shovel.

Purpose and device of the backpack
