“Even in a gunfight, we’d just get our asses kicked by the simplest rifles.”
Russian soldiers posted a video testing the “unparalleled” bulletproof vest “Module-Monolith,” produced by JSC “Special Materials Research Institute” (St. Petersburg). During the experiment, all five bullets penetrated the armor plate completely. The soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction with the quality of the heavy and useless gear: “Just f*cking great. Thank you, Ministry of Defense.”
The plate should work on its own. The thing that stands out to me is there’s not even deformation. None of the impact is being caught and spread out. Just perfect holes. So yeah. Well outside the envelope for where the kevlar shell would have made a difference.
Interesting, I learnt something new today.
Seems delightfully medieval as a solution. What does the Kevlar do? Mostly anti-spalling?
Stops shrapnel, pistol rounds, and spalling.
By the sounds of it they just used sheet metal lol
Yup. Just classic Russian corruption where there’s something in the inventory. Just not what it’s supposed to be.
