The company "Oktava" (part of the Roselectronics holding) has received a patent for a modular body armor for humanitarian demining sappers. The device, as stated in the patent abstract, enhances combat effectiveness due to its well-thought-out design and the use of modern materials.

The body armor consists of several dozen elements. Its core comprises fabric parts with camouflage masking made of polyester fibers and elements made of Kevlar and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, which provide protection. The design includes ballistic packages for the front panel, back panel, waist, and groin protector. Climate-amortizing supports made of 3D mesh are specifically highlighted to improve ventilation.

A distinctive feature of the model is the presence of a quick-release system for the front part and a handle for evacuating the wounded, attached to the back. This allows for quick extraction of a sapper from the affected area without removing the entire body armor. The patent description specifically emphasizes that the development is intended for sappers engaged in humanitarian demining, not for general military units.
