"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."

These are way too thin for ESAPI plates or equivalent. I'm pretty sure this is literally just a random piece of sheet steel.

Fair, I was more saying there are plates that can stop rounds when referring to "these things", but ya these specific plates don't look nearly thick enough. Or if you've ever had to wear them you know, heavy enough.
