That's gotta hurt like a b***h
Better then being dead though.
Proofs?
No shit, morons. Thanks for your observations
I've had paintball injuries that looked worse.
go to the gym fatso
That might not have hurt at all.
I've had dates that left me with bigger marks.
Sky diving will cause that kind of surface bruising too, the shock of straps going tight at terminal velocity will do that and you won't even notice it at the time and it doesn't hurt afterwards. I'd imagine getting shot in the plates is much the same, you're not going to notice it at the time because of adrenaline and distraction and later, that kind of bruising doesn't swell or hurt really.
How else do you get back to cover fast?

The Russians have had that beat for some time, though it's arguably as tacky as

For good reason. Fast track to fanaticism.
I like how that image crops out the worship of the hammer and sickle.

Plates are being drawn on and gold plated to essentially thank the saints and god for protecting them. Not to actually glorify the war itself. Rather the fact the wearer survived it.
>I'd imagine getting shot in the plates is much the same, you're not going to notice it at the time because of adrenaline and distraction
yeah you notice. image getting hit by a baseball going 95 mph when you weren't really expecting it.
back bruising looks gnarly but he probably barely feels this.
t. combat sports, paintball, fell while rock climbing once
Broken ribs
That's clearly not broken ribs that's on his spine almost.
Whould you rather chose bullets or broken bones, I'll give you a tip bones heal
Pain is temporary,death is eternal.
Imagine how loud that's got to be for the guy wearing it
Lucky fricker. He's still in a world of pain right now.Being hit by a full-power round ain't fun at all even if it got stopped
Hope he makes it through the war and puts his plate in a frame over his fireplace.
They have some churches draw saints on plates that saved lives, turning them into Warhammer like relics.
If that's true it's about as based as it gets.
Imagine the cultural impact on the post war ukie population.
There are quite a few already.
>two hits
If the guy survived that's unbelievably lucky. I can't imagine a situation where your plate takes 2 hits that the rest of you didn't take more.
could be shrapnel
How much frag did the rest of him get then? Plates (front and back) only cover about 10% of your total surface area, or about 15% of the area available from one side. 2 hits on your plate really implies at least 4 hits on arms, stomach, neck and shoulders. Even assuming your legs were in cover. But maybe he got lucky.
ill take frag in my ams and legs all day over the gut. In my ass, even.
>the frag is in the ass and the tourniquet is being squeezed.
>all day over the gut
SAPI large covers from below the collar bone to just the bottom of ribs(if you're short) everything below that is unprotected.
Can it be worn lower to cover the gut?
And expose your vital organs?
If what you described is accurate, it would still cover the heart and stomach and lungs.
Could be from two separate instances
>look out we got a marksman over here
doesn't look like these were anything but shots at the naked plate, probably leaned against a wall. plates worn in a carrier have scrapes/scratches where the plate fragments and dust travel very fast between the layers and scratch the plate surface away from the impact are.
>bro did you seriously?
If Ukraine survives this war, the social impact will be incredible. An entire generation of men hardened by war... it will be interesting to see how the homosexual WEF agenda clashes with this new national spirit. Just imagine: not only does Russia get BTFO, but also Poland gets a new challenger for the based slavic nation award
>An entire generation of men hardened by war
Even more: Don't forget the civies who didn't serve but had to endure the missile attacks and other hardships.
The entire country will think they gave their blood and guts for their own freedom (rightfully so). They won't accept any outsider telling them what to do.
Add another country to the list of countries that hate russia. Potentially for a very long time since this is very recent and i doubt the russians are going to apologize, rather i think they are just going to double down to cope with it.

One can only hope that this will inspire the people of other nations as well.
NGL the saints on the plates and the entire consecrating is fricking badass as frick.Thats Crusader-tier Deus Vult stuff.
The entire imagery of the Ukies gives me a hardon. It's like a weird mix between medieval, WW2 and contemporary memery.
>Why yes? We got a Balkenkreuz on our tank, there's 0w0 written on our ammo, we fly a pepe flag on the radio antenna and we let priests gold plate our plates and paint Saints on them

/misc/ is so fricking delusional, Jesus Christ. I don't think a single one of you moronic Black folk could actually say what the WEF even does.
I think you really misunderstood those posts. At least my one (
)
Nonsensical, braindead post.
/misc/ is for Russia because defending yourself from Russian aggression is part of the gobohomosexual agenda.

You are completely detactached from reality. Misc has broken your mind.

>constantly clashes with homosexuals

Incorrect, Serbia is obsessed with dreams of an empire it never had and annexing all its neighbours who it is convinced are just inferior versions of themselves who picked up bad accents.
>An entire generation of men hardened by war... it will be interesting to see how the homosexual WEF agenda clashes with this new national spirit
>The entire country will think they gave their blood and guts for their own freedom (rightfully so). They won't accept any outsider telling them what to do
I don't think Ukraine is just going to forget that basically the entire civilised world lined up behind them, took their refugees, stuffed weapons and ammo down their throats, trained their soldiers and sanctioned Russia until it's on the verge of collapse.
Sure they'll be pretty proud of themselves but I'm sure it will be mixed with a lot of gratitude.
Don't forget that a million or more Ukrainian women and children are right now shopping in western countries with allowances paid by local governments and attending schools taught in local languages.
When it's over and they mostly go home, they'll be bringing back connections with the wider world, some will stay as a new Ukrainian diaspora around the west and others will bring back western boyfriends and husbands.
And that's not to talk about membership of NATO and the EU.
Ukraine isn't going to be the enemy of globalism that you imagine, they're going to be the newest member of a club that they fought hard to get into.
>Incorrect, Serbia is obsessed with dreams of an empire
You have an american understanding of the conflict and this is coming from me, a Croat. have a nice day
I've been there man, I've listened to Serbian taxi drivers in MonteBlack tell me that everyone in the Balkans are really Serbs with delusions about identity and who can't speak their real language properly.
>a Croat
nisi idiote
Ukraine is going to remember that the Right Sector and the Azov were right all along, and the ones who were militarizing and fighting against Russians since 2014 while others were downplaying the threat and trying to larp as a western liberal democracy.
Hence why the west basecly gained an aily for life. We eastern euros don't forget that shit and when you need us we'll return the favor tenfold
I'm flying back to Ukraine as soon as the war ends, buying property, and will help rebuild.
I was supposed to go there in 2020 for half a year to work on my passed down datcha, but then covid, and now vatniks happened. thankfully it hasnt been effected by the war, but i hear its fallen apart, no one has been there in 5 years.
I was there last in 2005 and the country was grim. I cant wait to help rebuild.
your shit is just going to be seized by the government. this IS ukriane were talking about.
don't forget thousands of volunteers dispersing home as the war ends
>WEF agenda
get off the internet, dad
the key operator is "might" which gives an impression that the big lad doesn't intend to be penetrated through his organic "plating". he's like a T1000 terminator but purely organic, you are mocking a machine built to kill.
>you are mocking a machine built to kill.
That's what weaklings do. The OG copium.
And it will all be ruined if women are allowed to vote
>muh WEF
So... if WEF with Putin then that means WEF is good?
I don't understand what your thought process was here posting that pic
refer to England after WWI and II. their strong fighting men are being depleted in the conflict, most that survive are those who aren't participating and are helplessly being hit with missile attacks. I guarantee that Ukraine will become a weak nanny state.
and just to clarify, I'm not a vatBlack person and Russia is dogshit
This is correct and something to look forward too. R*dditgays won't like this.
Didn't zelinsky already make criticizing homosexuals illegal?
Lmao, the west will want to liberalize them asap. A nationalist nation swimming in weapons and trained men is too dangerous. The benefits of diversity await...
Its funny, between covid and ukraine the left have been given lessons on the value of strong borders and national unity. But they never fkn learn.
Their manliest and highest test males all got killed in the beginning when they volunteered. Look at Japan and how quickly they were emasculated after losing WW2

Idiot. How is it tacky? Theyre not wearing them like that to the frontlines dipshit. Fricking moron.

were in a PrepHole argument.neither of us are going to change our stance. skipping right to direct attacks saves time.
>skipping right to direct attacks saves time
that's fine, so long as the attacks are based on things that are true
Wear your fricking plates.
That's actually really based
Why would you draw on the plate after they've been hit?
That's like shooting a barn door and drawing the target around the hole, proclaiming it was an excellent shot.
because it was a weeks worth of good propaganda.
The Ukrainian Orthodox church considers them holy because they saved soldiers' lives. They're considered relics nowi
The plates that stopped a bullet are holy relics.
The rest of the plates the bullet missed and hit you instead are cursed?
HOLY KINO
wholesome
"an american guy was leaving ukraine and his friend who is the one who got shot was going to the front line and had shit plates, the american gave him his plates which were these hescos that got shot, the american then wrote hesco to tell them about it and hesco sent him brand new and better plates to replace them for free."
>advertising that you were running away from battle
>shooting someone in the back
I don't think you're always facing face forward in modern conflicts. Or maybe even older ones. Forward scouts might turn around to see where their own forces are to signal information to them. Ideally while in cover or some such of course, but nothing is ever 100%.
We got a badass over here, no tactical retreat, no breaking for cover, always charging always forward lmao. Guess whos ngmi?
>vatBlack person cannot grasp the fact that you don't have to run away in order to be shot in the back.
>Leroy Jenkins enters the thread
here is a video of him getting hit.
old.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/comments/14a9jx0/ukrainian_soldier_got_shot_in_the_back_by_a/
Elongated (not round) hole/damage to plate.
Either the projo was tumbling/keyholing, fired at a glancing angle, or most likely was a ricochet having already hit the ground or something else hard before him.
Still would have fricked him up without the plate as it would also tumble in his ribcage
So, yes, wear the plates.
But, no, it doesn't mean the plate can be relied on to normally stop a 7.62x54mm straight-on.
Hi Apex. Go back to R*ddit please.
Apex Armor Solutions has literally been seething for weeks over this.
RMA Armor = BTFO, sued, called out for lying and selling shit products.
HESCO = Working effectively on the front lines of this century's hottest conflict.
Not Apex or any other factory shill.
Just looking at the shape on the plate.
c**t got lucky, same as those meme GI pixx where the german or jap bullet went into an M1 helmet, curved around the fibre liner and exited at the back - shit happens and sometimes c**ts get lucky, but it doesn't mean every M1 will be rated to stop every 7.92x57mm
all L4 plates are rated against 54r AP
And if he wasnt wearing a plate or had a cheaper one he would have been destroyed by that round keyholing through his body. Shut up.
>But, no, it doesn't mean the plate can be relied on to normally stop a 7.62x54mm straight-on.
You motherfricking moron, a Level IV is built with the EXPRESS TASK of stopping 30-06 M2 AP. 7.62x54r AP is no more of a threat.
And if it were FMJ or LPS, a composite III would stop it just as well.
And you fricking fudd out and assume plates cant stop hits "head-on" when that is basically ALWAYS the scenario for every countries test standard.
Are you moronic?
Anyone else rewatch Band of Brothers and cringe at them having no plate or kevlar helmet
Nobody had worthwhile plates before about early 2000s
Even Korea/Nam and up to 90s vests were just for random frag not projos.
Fight and die as men.
>Nobody had worthwhile plates before about early 2000s
Variable Troop Armor from 1967 calls you gay and moronic. 22lbs for the whole setup, excellent ergonomic-cut coverage, functionally identical to the SAPI/OTV system.
The Army then proceeded to do what it does best and regress for the next 25-30 years before shitting out the turd of RBA
my country isn't at war tho
actually getting shot in the plate will deform the backface and punch the wearer's heart out of the back of their chest
He's one lucky Slav, if he survives the war I'll buy him a bottle of toilet vodka and a bag of turnips

>Ukraine has already lost, even if they take Moscow.
Zister can we ever stop winning?
Winning a conflict isn’t determined by if you’re better off at the end than the start, it’s determined by wether you achieve your objectives.
Russia’s goal has been expressly “Denazification and demilitarization”, Ukraine’s goal is retaining their territorial integrity.
So far Ukraine is more militarized than ever and they’ve made the entire country Russophobic which is what vatnik subhumans think that Nazism is.
Ukraine is 90% successful in retaining their territorial integrity and are on a net positive gain for like the past year.
It’s pretty clear Ukraine is winning, cope harder with >”Muh birthratez!!”
I panic bought HDPEs in 2020 when ceramics were scarce, basic IV Hescos would be a good upgrade right?
No, the AP protection is almost entirely redundant and costs you like 10 pounds per pair.
Which is probably as much as carrying a whole additional primary rifle, or hundreds of magazined rounds.
This is like morons that day
>I don't want a prenup because the law has nothing to do with my marriage, God will protect us!
Then sign a marriage contract through the state.
Ur not getting ahead by relying on God to pick you for saving, you could still rely on God, then put on body armor because asking for deliverance when you aren't willing to meet Him halfway is low IQ take.

Surprised we haven't seen the large scale creation of improvised amour. Both Ukraine and Russia have the ability to make high quality steel plate.
They already have improvised armour, it's called "the guy in front of you"
I'm pretty sure I've seen captured improvised steel plates made by the separatists last year.
lmao @ the morons who always claims that plates absorbs 99% of the kinetic force while reposting that fudd video of bubbas baby loads shooting plates
This is actually a plate doing badly. The bruise is from backface deformation which meant that the 54r was right at the plate's limit. Still, the man probably kept fighting after that.

Why was he shot in the back.
>Sniper sees dumbass with his back turned

It's that simple really
Now I'm not an expert on body armour, but hitting that low on his back, but that high on the plate, he was also wearing it wrong for comfort and too low, no?
You have any idea what the rating of the plate was? Or the skew?
But /k/ told me you'll barely feel the bullet if you're wearing plates.
