Equipment introduction in the Russian-Ukrainian war —ballistic vest equipment

• This time, let's talk about the styles of ballistic vest in the Russian-Ukrainian war.

  First, we need to know the ballistic level.
  At present, the most widely used in the world is the American NIJ standard, which can be divided into 5 grades according to the bulletproof standard, namely: NIJ IIA, NIJ II, NIJ IIIA, NIJ III, NIJ IV.
  The three most commonly used bulletproof vest levels are NIJ IIIA, NIJ III and NIJ IV. Among them, NIJ IIIA only needs the bulletproof soft panel to achieve. If the bulletproof vest needs to reach NIJ III or NIJ IV, a hard armor plate must be added, so we often see a pocket on the front and back of the ballistic vest for adding a hard plate to improve the bulletproof level of the ballistic vest.
  Ballistic tactical vest is often used because able to use the MOLLE system:
  Combatants can use the MOLLE system to carry a variety of combat equipment, such as magazines, communicators, medical kits, maps, carry food, and more.
  There is also some ballistic vest with a quick-release system, which can be quickly removed in 1 second.
  The following are the styles of body armor that are known to have appeared so far
