The manufacturer of tactical clothing and equipment, Triada-TKO (part of the Kalashnikov concern), has begun shipping promising body armor to the customer for military trials, the concern's press service reported.
The body armor is developed on the basis of the modular unloading system version 2.0.
It is equipped with:
- Br4+ armor panels for protection against intermediate cartridges with increased penetration of 5.45x39 mm and 7.62x39 mm
- Anti-splinter armor elements made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
- Neck, abdominal and groin protection modules
- Weight distribution system with telescopic stops (relieves stress from the shoulders)
The use of modern high-tech materials has expanded the functionality of the body armor: its design provides for the ability of the product to transform and allows it to be used as a general-purpose body armor, unloading vest or combat chest rig.
The body armor has a "Digital" camouflage pattern. It comes with a set of pouches for ammunition, communications equipment, and medicines.
Kalashnikov Concern stated that after testing the body armor, the customer will decide on their supply to the Russian Armed Forces.
