Body Armour and Protection systems

As I said, it is sometimes hilarious to watch how they are trying to stage some sort of propaganda, which backfires immediately.
The only more hilarious thing than figuring out how much better Russian armor is, was when they opened MRE.
Started with oh how the orkiv pesky food is there, ending up with an entire squad gathered around.
With jaws dropped, mouths watered, and left speechless with a variety and quality of rations.
It ain't better now, while Ukro cannon fodder is being fed with bags of potatoes and onion. JArs with pickles they robbed from babushkas cellars are already only a tasty memory ...

NATO vs Russia: A Helmet Crash-Test, by Oleg Burunov for Sputnikglobe. 06.29.2024.

A helmet is an essential part of a soldier’s combat gear, playing an important role in their survivability on the battlefield.

Rostec State Corporation – Russia’s arms manufacturer – has conducted a crash test of five armored helmets, including three used by NATO troops, a Russian­-made protective hat and a helmet made by an unknown producer.

Let's find out which helmet turned out to be the most reliable.

The helmets were tested for compliance with the Br-1 and Br-2 protection standards. During the tests, Russian-made ­­­­Stechkin and Serdyukov 9mm automatic pistols were fired at a distance of five meters from the helmets, which were placed in various positions at a shooting ground.

The helmet by the unknown producer, as well as a NATO-standard trophy helmet, a US-made PASGT DELTA helmet, and the Philippines-made NATO-standard AB-ACH FC helmet, were all penetrated by the bullets fired from both the Stechkin and the Serdyukov.

Meanwhile, the Russian-made Bars-L helmet withstood the impact of all the bullets, which only left a slight dent on the helmet’s surface.

Designed by the Research Institute of Steel (part of Rostec’s Kalashnikov Concern), the state-of-the-art Bars-L is made of titanium and composite materials, featuring increased protective characteristics.

In particular, the helmet is capable of absorbing an assault rifle bullet fired from a certain distance, according to the Kalashnikov company. The Bars-L was for the first time put on display at a St.Petersburg arms exhibition in April 2024.
