Equipment “Ratnik” called invincible
As the General Director of the Central research Institute of precision engineering, the history of the exploitation of combat equipment “Ratnik” has not been a single penetration of a bullet through a flak jacket or helmet.
The General Director of TSNIITOCHMASH Dmitry Semizorov in the interview with TASS said that the enemy “never misses” the gear of a soldier of the second generation of the “Warrior” during its combat use.
According to him, information on the impact on equipment under actual use suggests that “there was not a single case of penetration of body armor — no helmet, no body armor”.
Thus, concludes Semizorov, the system of personal body armor “Warrior” can safely be called “extremely effective.” Outfit of the “Warrior” of the third generation will have the same level of ballistic protection as the “Warrior” of the second generation, but weigh lighter thanks to the use of new materials.

According to the head of the TSNIITOCHMASH, the “Warrior-3” will be easier on 25-30% of his mass is about 20 kg instead of the current 24. Dmitry Semizorov noted that the helmet of “Warrior” can be called “probably the best in the world.” When the maximum area of protection (about 30 decimeters) it weighs only one kilo that allows the soldier to place the additional devices and not overload the neck. Podolany system on the helmet is made in such a way that it weakens not only attacking discompose like a blow to the head, but high-velocity round into a bullet or fragment.

Body armor equipment “Warrior” in area of protection is also one of the largest in the world, and his plates survive 10 hits from a sniper rifle SVD from a distance of 10 meters. As said General Director of TSNIITOCHMASH, the analysis of contusion damages of the plate after shots of the SVD showed that the soldiers will then be able to continue the fight, though, and will get bruises. In the enhanced version to the bulletproof vest additional protection of the sides of the body, as well as ballistic protection shoulders, arms and groin area. If necessary, you can use a jumpsuit that hides almost 100% of the body from shrapnel damage.
