Why would you even issue just a flak plate in the current year? It doesn't cost very much to get ceramic, hell people in the US make jerry-rigged level 3 plates from ceramic garden tiles
Wider protection effect from shrapnel.
Consider most of the kills in this war is shrapnel from shelling, I'm surprised we're not seeing more flak jackets on ukies.

A ceramic plate will stop flak. A flak plate won't stop an x39 round. And you could make a comparably large ceramic plate to those sheet metal plates with enough tape. It's a joke they're issuing these to soldiers
Oh of course, but that is the Russian military for you and you work with what you have.
It's why "We would win if we mobilised" is the biggest cope, 'cause they would even run out of these things lmao

Unironically this. They arent afraid of russian conscripts, everyone has seen their pathetic state and they have nukes for them anyways. Its former military and trained US citizens that theyre shitting their pants over. Properly trained, armed, equipped, and supplied guerillas on every square mile of the nation. You dont buy TNT to take out an ant hill, unless the "ant hill" is figurative for your fricking house.
We bought the rifle now in anticipation that our peers might be formidable in about 30-40 years, giving us plenty of time to work out the kinks like we did with the M16.
An article said this is probably a police armor produced starting from 1992. It seems that someone opened a warehouse from the time of the first or the second Chechen war
Then again, not really setting the bar very high with 7.62×25mm Tokarev. Not exactly hard to stop even with crap steel if it's at least a plate of that thickness.
Armor that stops anything is better then armor that stops nothing...
But it's still pretty shit to be sending dudes out with pistol rated armor knowing they will be mostly fighting dudes with rifles.
No, armor is heavy, wearing shit that won't protect from anything but weapon you won't meet 99.999% of the time is detrimental

Shrapnel is a big thing in the "special operation" so i still think it holds some value.
I doubt a lot of casualties in this conflict are from rifle ammo. Probably mostly shrapnel
We have seen footage of dudes surviving rifle fire from plates already so yes having rifle rated armor is important, especially because it will help with shrapnel as well.
Your logic here is faulty.
And why not?
They've already shot missiles that were last serviced in 1992 at Odesa.
Why not take out small arms or armor from the old stocks. It's better than nothing.
It makes the operator sprint faster

No but it does improve the quality of your panda.

Imagine how much more beautiful Turning Red would have been if it was set in Ukraine, in the town of Bucha, in February, 2022
Probably whatever cheap primer they could get their hands on.
Its a flack jacket not a bulletproof vest
you're correct, it's not a bulletproof vest because it can't stop bullets
See:
Or the actual video
Yeah but TWO, count ‘em 2, couldn’t stop a single rifle round. Do you want to try that cope again?

Why it's always like this
imagine being the guy on the F-15 design team when you finally realize the MiG-25 is a joke
the near-peers are the citizens with Level 4 plates

it actually stopped the Tokarev round
An article said this is probably a police armor produced starting from 1992. It seems that someone opened a warehouse from the time of the first or the second Chechen war
>says it can protect against TT bullet
>it actually protects from TT bullet
for first time Russian equipment didn't lie
Then again, not really setting the bar very high with 7.62×25mm Tokarev. Not exactly hard to stop even with crap steel if it's at least a plate of that thickness.
Read the bottom of the first patch. It stops pistol calibers. Which it did in the OP vid

Not relevant to specifically the plates being discussed but in a war like this and most wars I'll rather have full coverage level III than plates.
On the one hand i could follow that logic, especially with drone drops and constant shelling.
On the other getting one tapped is just as bad.
I mean, at this point they're rolling out Afghan war and first Chechen war vets, makes sense they'll get that equipment too.
And why not?
They've already shot missiles that were last serviced in 1992 at Odesa.

>from 1992.
That's almost as old as the HARM rockets that are getting sent to Ukraine.
Good to hear those armor plates are good enough for HARM defense
Good lets send it to WWII Germany.
Good thing everyone is just carrying pistols. If they were facing rifle fire they'd be in a spot of trouble
If you looke closely you'll notice that the steel cracked where the bullet hit.

I'm surprised, it stopped a pistol bullet.
Tbh it might not stop bullets, but it could help with fragmentation. The fragments from drone dropped 40mm HEDP for example are pretty light.
Sure, the limbs are still unprotected, but any armor is better than zero armor.
Yes comrade, perfect with Mosin rifle.
It doesn't even look like AR500, it looks like some shitty sheet steel someone hammered in their shed
Probably that was the idea to use a sheet of metal because the energy of a pistol caliber is not enough to hurt you too much
That might be an improvement over AR500.
Knowing Russia, it was probably just the cheapest paint color they could afford.
Bruh he just sacrificed some nice Chechen war treasure. I hate the person that let them go out with that piece more than the guy that destroyed it.
If enough orkz believe it, it just works
holy frick russia runs on ork logic

uhh slope armor maybe
Surely a Russian soldier would know they shouldn't be rolling around with shitty steel armor?
