This Russian helmet has basically the same level of protection as the older ACH that I was issued. The vast majority of synthetic fiber helmets in the world are basically IIIA.

The downside of UHMWPE plates is they cannot stop steel core/tipped ammunition. That's why ceramic plates are still the most common.

One thing I've wanted to see from you guys is how well common hunting rifle rounds would do against common plates and helmets. Maybe go all out and see how different loads do as well.

[@thesayxx]

they would probably do bad against plates since vast majority of hunting rounds are designed to deform on impact not penetrate armour, aka most of them are soft points or some variations of hollow points, useless against armour.

[@Dragunov1Bros]

@@thesayxx Well, my reasoning was mostly thinking about FMJ or other harder-nosed bullets. I just want to see what rounds like 6.5 Creedmoor and 7mm Rem Mag would do personally. I know what 7mm Mag does against deer, I feel like it would be fun to see if anything.

[@josephahner3031]

@@Dragunov1Bros Anything a standard 5.56 shoots through, will do even worse against almost all FMJ hunting cartridges.

Of course they have some vest plates that do, but the majority of their soldiers don't have those.

Can understand the way they are thinking when it comes to this helmet, probably cheaper and easier to make(can equip more soldiers with it), stops small artillery/grenade fragments which most likely causing most of the damage in the current war. Both side use hand grenades extensively due to the trench warfare and drone warfare.

[@The_Judge300]

I doubt it is very cheap to make, considering the kevlar used in it. All metal helmets are most likely much cheaper, faster and easier to make for the Russians, but they quickly get heavy if you want decent protection. The main advantage this helmet has, is the weight. If you are in a situation where you need to wear a helmet for hours, day after day, and the chances for heavy artillery hitting you is rather small, then this helmet is perfect.

A much better design to safe guard (hopefully) against a deformation kill is to have a thinner secondary skull wrap that is fitted on the head straps on the inside of the helmet (between the head and inside of the helmet.

Thank you so much for this video. Most of the battles are at distances of 100 to 150 to 200 meters. In urban battles it can be barely 50-90 meters and the elevations of high-rise buildings. The main striking factor goes to the body and limbs. The head is rarely hit, unless of course you are a target for a sniper.
