"Even in a gunfight, we'd just get our asses kicked by the simplest rifles."

Russian soldiers posted a video testing the "unparalleled" bulletproof vest "Module-Monolith," produced by JSC "Special Materials Research Institute" (St. Petersburg). During the experiment, all five bullets penetrated the armor plate completely. The soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction with the quality of the heavy and useless gear: "Just f*cking great. Thank you, Ministry of Defense."

Interesting to think that the U.S. has spent so much money to develop and test a new bullet and rifle combo specifically to beat Russian body armor, all for naught.

Wasn't it also for the fancy stuff that China is developing? Also this video doesn't mean that Russia hasn't produced better armour (they obviously have, that appears to be unhardened mild steel lol) , just that they can't mass produce it.

Ah, didn't think of that, probably so.
