The "Obereg" family of Russian body armor for assault units has a new addition. The Tula-based company "Oktava" (part of "RT-Capital") has created a small batch of body armor for pets in the war zone. A video featuring body armor for combat cats and dogs has been shown online.
The standard "Obereg" consists of a substrate made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, a ceramic plate, Kevlar, and an additional layer. The last layer helps reduce the spread of fragments and creates moisture insulation. The ceramic platewithstands hits from 7.62*54 rounds fired from a rifle or machine gun. According to test characteristics, the body armor is more reliable than its American counterpart.
In the simple version for humans, the body armor weighs more than 11 kilograms, in themodernized version - 9.4 kilograms. The version for animals is not the lightest either.
However, one of the owners of the new item, a cat in the video nicknamed Mukhich, is calmly in it and, according to the owners, "should get used to" wearing body armor.
Russian soldiers have also received new equipment - it became known that they have begun using KBS "STRELETS" kits.
At the beginning of the year, "Triada-TKO"reported on the supply of "Strelets" combat gear kits (KBS) to the front. Now, photo confirmations have begun to arrive from the front lines. It is noted that assault troops are the first to receive this kit.
