Russian tankers have received a special protective suit that can protect against shell fragments and fire when a tank is hit during combat.
The special suit can withstand fragments weighing up to 2 grams, bullets up to 9 mm caliber, and is capable of withstanding close combat with an enemy's cutting weapons.
It will also protect the tanker from fire for the time it takes to leave the tank when it is hit and catches fire. The special suit is fire-resistant, it can withstand temperatures up to 1100 degrees Celsius for fifteen seconds.
In addition, Russian tanks are now being fitted with a special lining made of aramid fabric from the inside. It protects tank crews and their ammunition from fragments and their consequences.
