"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."

Depends on the rating really. Some are only rated for small caliber hand guns. This might be one. Or it's just for bolstering confidence and does fuck all.

Wait, are people down voting because they don't think there are different types of plates, wild.

It’s BR4 rated, it should be stopping rifle rounds

If it is for hand guns, then it's almost completely a waste, since the only pistol caliber guns I've seen in this war are only issued to Civil guard there, way behind the frontlines.

Oh agree, huge waste. But if it's all that they have in guessing they don't care.

I assume people are down voting because it'd be really dumb if that were the case. Sure, it technically could be, but it's really just grasping at straws for no reason. The most obvious answer is probably the correct one. It's probably just poor quality.
