During the assault, a large fragment of ammunition hit a Russian soldier and struck the rear plate of the "Obreg" body armor from Rostec. It was damaged, but not penetrated, and the serviceman remained alive.
The body armor performed at 5+ during the assault. The rear plate took a large fragment. Ribs are bruised, but the soldier's life was saved! We want to replace it and repair the body armor.
The General Director of the "Octava" company, Pavel Pavlenko, noted that specialists will replace the armor plate in the near future.
We manufacture them with a safety margin exceeding the requirements of GOST. Therefore, the equipment can withstand even large fragments. This year, we have significantly increased the production of "Obreg" body armor.
The weight of "Obreg" is 11.7 kg, the chest armor plate provides Br5 protection class and consists of ceramic plates that absorb the kinetic energy of a bullet, as well as high-molecular plastic.
Earlier www1.ru reported that an improved BTR-82A with enhanced armor protection was developed in Russia. The vehicle is armed with a 2A72 30 mm cannon and can withstand hits from B-32 armor-piercing bullets.
