“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.”
Tbf, those things have always been for stopping shrapnel and keeping your insides on the inside, if you do get shot.They were never made to stop assault rifle rounds, even from the kind of distances intended for assault rifles.the us just spent a lot of money picking a new assault rifle specifically because they wanted one that could actually penetrate kevlar now that russia and china are issuing it to their troops
well, i guess maybe china is issuing it to their troops
No, the plate they are showing is specifically made to stop rifle rounds (BR4 rating)

Bold of you to assume they get back plates.
Sapi plates, specifically over level 4 can stop, on average, a single rifle shot. It’s more of a second chance than “bullet proof” though.
These are way too thin for ESAPI plates or equivalent. I’m pretty sure this is literally just a random piece of sheet steel.
Fair, I was more saying there are plates that can stop rounds when referring to “these things”, but ya these specific plates don’t look nearly thick enough. Or if you’ve ever had to wear them you know, heavy enough.
For real that’s my understanding. I think even small arms munitions as well.
