   5.45 mags and Granite 5A plate from 6B46 of a serviceman of one of the units of the Russian Armed Forces after a fire contact in a forest belt.

   The bullets entered from several tens of meters, two servicemen who were carrying out the inspection of the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers killed 15 minutes earlier were injured. Both 300s were immediately pulled out from the place of contact, and artillery began to work out along the "green" line, after which the armor took everyone to the rear.

   The wounded servicemen themselves are alive, undergoing treatment and preparing to return to the NVO zone.

B-32 bullet from PK vs BR5 level plates (or close to them). Catridge was chosen because it is armor piercing and very common. Plates are shown from 2:40.

 

1st plate is Shchelkovo silk-weaving factory (Ru). 2 hits, 2 significant deformations, no penetration.

2nd plate is Chinese Atlant Armor. 2 hits, 2 more significant deformations, no penetration.

3rd one is from US, Paraclete. 2 hits, plates was damaged more than others, 1 penetrated (part of coating don't allow to show well, but either core or part of bullet made through and penetrated wooden stand behind it). Some damage of the plate on the video after testers tried to find second bullet inside.

   The line of Elbrus-T titanium armored helmets consists of three models with different functionality and protection area. Protection class is Br 2.

   All versions of Elbrus-T (A, B and V) are equipped with a modern suspension system with the ability to quickly adjust and fastening elements (side rails and "shroud") for installing additional equipment on the helmet (lights, cameras, optical devices, etc.) .).

   The lightest model "A" (full contour trimming) weighs 1.6 kg (11.6 dm²), while the heavy version "V" (deep contour trimming) is equipped with a visor (protection class Br 1), with which it has a mass of 3 .3 kg with a total protection area of 19 dm².

   "Elbrus-T" in version "B" (medium trimming of the contour) with an area of 12.2 dm² (weight 1.8 kg) was launched into mass production. The visor can be installed on it optionally, with mounting on the side rails, while the helmet "V" has hinges integrated into the helmet dome for this.

   Compared to composite armored helmets, titanium Elbrus-T provides better resistance to fragments of natural fragmentation, which, unlike the spherical projectiles used in armor tests, have a random shape with numerous cutting edges. In addition, the titanium helmet are more durable and require less care.
