“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.”

    It’s what the US always does. Russia claims to have this or that so the US builds something to defeat it. It’s happening with China now too.

      I am confident that the US has samples of Russian body armor and has performed penetration testing and taken the results into consideration in doing its assessments.

      This particular plate may be sub-par relative to how it’s supposed to perform. But body armor is not hard to get ahold of; you can’t keep it that secret. This isn’t going to be a MiG-25/F-15-type scenario, where the US dramatically misassesses capabilities and then goes to build something capable of defeating the (considerably-more-capable) system that it has theorized about. They’ll be making a decision based on being able to actually test the system in question.
