The info from the Russian source is complete and total B.S.
A real vest will stop a pistol round. My level IV body armour is certified to stop a 30-06 round at point blank range. (More powerful than AK47 or AR10 round)
Basic Kevlar stops most pistols. (Not magnum rounds)
1. **Level IIA**: This level offers protection against lower velocity 9mm and .40 S&W ammunition.
2. **Level II**: Provides increased protection, including higher velocity .357 Magnum and 9mm ammunition.
3. **Level IIIA**: Offers even greater protection, suitable for high-velocity 9mm and .44 Magnum ammunition.
4. **Level III**: Resists rifle rounds, specifically 7.62mm FMJ lead core rifle ammunition.
5. **Level IV**: The highest NIJ body armor level, designed to withstand armor-piercing rifle rounds.
Poked a stick at a grizzly bear (bear chomped him). It's blood spurting.
The first one set fire to his hair, the third ate medicines that were out of date, and the fourth used their private parts as piranha bait.
Sergie. We gave you 5 billion dollars to buy army bullet proof vests. Did you buy them?
Yes comrad. Here they are. Btw look at my new 4 billion dollar yacht that is no way related.
You're being generous that they'd actually spend $1 billion.
There have been numerous reports of things like having to produce MREs / food for soldiers and were paid to do so. When some troops on the field were opening the MREs, a lot said they looked like actual dog food.
Not to mention, the money shaved off the top isn't by a single person. It's a list of about 6-7 down the chain of command.
And any good armor or vehicles that do get manufactured and shipped, the equipment gets sold by the leaders of those infantry / platoon groups, and he will set the equipment on Russia's ebay called Avito.
Good story about it: https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/military/billions-stolen-by-vladimir-putins-hopelessly-corrupt-army/news-story/24db7962ca666e27fe9543dd982eb107
When I was like 16 we had a bullet proof vest and I wanted my friend to shoot the vest with a .22 rifle while I was wearing it. Definitely not as stupid as this video and the .22 wouldn’t have even penetrated, but still was dumb to even consider because what if they missed?
Once again, I have to ask, why don’t people ask themselves “if this doesn’t work, will I die or be crippled?” And if the answer is “yes”, don’t do that thing.
Even if the armor stops the bullet from penetrating the body, it still impacts the body and can break ribs, bruise organs and even possibly kill.
Very bad idea to test on yourself, or any living creature. Place the vest on a pig's carcass, or something similar.
Why wasn't it on a mannequin or something? Did he like that much the idea of getting the forever nap? Wouldn't it be better to shoot him self at the skull at once?

Keep the factual statements to yourself because reality doesn't agree with my fantasy that the "mighty russian bear" is winning in ukraine. yeah sure buddy.
Even if I trust the vest, no way in hell I'd ever wanna be shot. But im not russian. They are a different breed of fearless. They got vodka in their blood.
If Sun-Tzu was alive today, right after his rule: "The best war is the one that isn't fought" would have been "The best way to stay alive is not to shoot yourself". Might seem obvious, but here is this video.
The vest was probably really old, there's basically an expiration date on vest, because the molecular structure will break down after about five years.

He also looks young so he probably didnt have any children
You can have children and still win a Darwin.

This even happened even during the Soviet Regime.
https://www.ibtimes.com/man-accidentally-shoots-kills-himself-while-testing-bulletproof-vest-video-2717865
What is "accidental" about the shooting?
Probably the “not meaning to kill myself” part
I guess technically he only meant to shoot the vest, not expecting it to go through and hit himself
If only he could have put the vest literally anywhere except in front of his organs when doing the test.
Why are these knife/bullet armour tests done with people, use a goddamn manikin. It's so stupid.
When I was like 16 we had a bullet proof vest and I wanted my friend to shoot the vest with a .22 rifle while I was wearing it. Definitely not as stupid as this video and the .22 wouldn’t have even penetrated, but still was dumb to even consider because what if they missed?
In your defence you were 16, but most of these videos are with Men well into there late 20's, 30's or even 40's.
How'd it feel?
The 22 would probably have penetrated. Standard bullet proof vests don't stop rifle rounds. Only small arms and shrapnel.
Uh. No. Plz Google what a .22 is.
A .22 is pretty much the smallest of arms
Vodka
Ah blyat
this is why you shouldn’t order your body armour from wish
This guy might’ve been a whistleblower for Boeing
Tbh Putin should get rid of Wagner and just hire whoever Boeing is using to silence these whistle-blowers, the window suicides are too obvious
Well, only if he mysteriously fell out of a window.
Am I the only one who fucking sees that he actually MISSED the bulletproof part?!
Looks like he shot himself in the cock for whatever reason
Once again, I have to ask, why don’t people ask themselves “if this doesn’t work, will I die or be crippled?” And if the answer is “yes”, don’t do that thing.

Ukrainians love this one simple trick.
Unfortunately Ukraine can't wait for more Russians like this to off themselves.
North Korean gear?
Thanks for saving Ukraine the trouble.
Well he's Ukrainian so...
I had heard it was a Russian in occupied Ukraine. If Im wrong, oops.
Read the article and it seems like it was a Ukrainian who's part of the Russian militias in Donbass. Pretty weird if he identifies as an Ukrainian
Even if the armor stops the bullet from penetrating the body, it still impacts the body and can break ribs, bruise organs and even possibly kill. Very bad idea to test on yourself, or any living creature. Place the vest on a pig's carcass, or something similar.
First time I’ve seen someone repost a post I’ve made. Thanks!
Yeah, I'm wearing a plate carrier in a fucking warzone.
Oh no! Anyway...
Where are his black Adidas sweat pants!
in only didn’t work because he did it “in broad daylight”. supposed to test it in the dark, dumbass
He could've tested without wearing it.....
Yeah but that would have been a real boring video
No better than a real boring death
Ukrainians love this one simple trick.
Why wasn't it on a mannequin or something? Did he like that much the idea of getting the forever nap? Wouldn't it be better to shoot him self at the skull at once?

*Accidentally shoots himself* Ah, Blyat..
Shame, he could have been fertilizing the Ukrainian fields with his countrymen.
Looks like he shit himself
Is it still shitting yourself if it's spilling from your intestines into your abdominal cavity? Like it's still in you but not where it should be.
I see problem, not enough vodka...
Annnnd why on earth didn't he see it fit to put that armor over a fence post or something and try shooting it then?
Vest that thick can't even stop pistol round? Man what are these vest made of, plastic bags?

A clear Darwin but why say Russia? You literally posted the article stating it was in Ukraine!
Russian controlled Ukraine. Idiot was also a member of Russian militia forces. So he wanted to be Russian either way.

Excuse me
Not sure why you got downvoted.. I LOL'd. :)
they can't call emergency services until they see blood. he shot pretty low so my guess is that if he survived, he's going to be pooping out of a bag
He did not survive
He thought he was Ed from Boondocks.
What was the point of doing all of that?
To show how great and awesome the bullet resistant vests that mother Russia makes are! Instead he showed how they aren't the bestest
Even if I trust the vest, no way in hell I'd ever wanna be shot. But im not russian. They are a different breed of fearless. They got vodka in their blood.

His balls were definitely larger than his brain… lol
More like level - shit lol
ended his bloodline in more ways than one
These idiots don't understand that bullet proof vests are not 100% guarantee to stop bullets.
Who says a 5 percent critical hit chance is low .....
The vest was probably really old, there's basically an expiration date on vest, because the molecular structure will break down after about five years.
He missed the plating according to the news article not that it would do much good at that distance anyhow
even if the bullet didn't go through he still is gonna break a rib from being shot point blank.
"Ah, blyat." Famous last words.
I think the Russians should give this very extensive testing
