The Rostec State Corporation has for the first time tested new high-survivability ceramic armor plates of Br5 class for the "Obereg" protective gear. The tests showed the high strength of the product.
The plate withstood more than 20 hits from a NATO standard assault rifle chambered in .223. Not a single plate penetration was recorded.
Survivability tests are not provided for by any GOST standard. We specifically build a large margin of safety into personal protective equipment, as we carefully listen to the wishes of military personnel, for whom body armor is the last line of defense. Moreover, we are constantly modernizing and improving products.
.308 armor-piercing cartridges also failed to seriously damage the product, after five hits - not a single penetration. A fragmentation grenade also did not penetrate the plate.
The weight of "Obereg" is 11.7 kg, the chest armor plate provides Br5 protection class and consists of ceramic plates that dampen the kinetic energy of the bullet, as well as high-molecular plastic.
