Броню из якутской глины разработали для российских военных: выдержит выстрелы почти в упор

Armor is 30% lighter than foreign counterparts

Specialists in Yakutia have developed an innovative armor system that surpasses foreign models in its characteristics. The joint development of "Khotu Tent" company and scientist Vasily Tagrov, based on Yakut clay, turned out to be a third lighter than foreign armor.

The armor has undergone tests with various weapons, including Kalashnikov assault rifles and sniper rifles. It demonstrated excellent protection against ammunition and prevented the formation of fragments and ricochets, which will increase the safety of military personnel.

The armor successfully withstood firing from 90 meters with domestic weapons, as well as from short distances — 5 and 15 meters — with foreign weapons.

Now, the developers plan to expand the application of the technology. Thanks to the clay deposits, production can be organized anywhere in Yakutia.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that footage of a BTR-82 with an "irokeзом" appeared online. This is how the military solved the problems with drones.
