A bigger problem with Soviet paratroopers in the rear echelon is that if paratroopers are being dropped then you no longer have air superiority which isn't something that US troops have faced since Korea.

To be fair, in the initial stages of a war there would be plenty of windows where soviet paratroopers could be employed while america still hasnt completely taken down the SAM network.. But at the same time, these could be involved in a war where America or the rest of NATO just abandons a once friendly country and the comblock severely outnumbers in terms of planes

To actually penetrate that armor you would need a completely different gun, and specialized bullets that would defeat the whole concept of an affordable PDW. My guess is in a Soviet invasion they'd just be facing tons of 7.62 rifles. Which actually can defeat that armor.

[@MrLittlelawyer]

Look at videos from firefights in Ukraine. They ALWAYS mag dump till the guy stops moving, which is always a brain or spinal hit. "Stopping power" outside of heavy weapons is a myth. 5 rounds of .22 in a guy is always going to have a higher chance of "stopping" than 1 round of 7.62. Similarly, most of them in those videos are never shooting "at" anything. They're scared as fuck and blasting into nowhere, either claiming "suppressive fire" or shooting at "something they saw". I don't blame them, but if you are going to do that then you should have more bullets to do it with! That is the case for both sides, so the guys with more bullets are going to have a significant advantage. I'd rather be a guy carrying 490 rounds of FN 5.7 with a P90 than the guy with 120 rounds of 7.62x39 or even 210 rounds of 5.56. If we really need range get a designated marksman, use heavy weapons, or call in IDF or air support. In the worst case, plenty enough ammo to spray at distance as an area target. Not like they know what caliber is coming at them. Besides that, within the range normal soldiers shoot and hit anything (

There is a difference between a well planned Soviet air assault and the cluster fuck Russia has managed so far. If Soviets were dropping airborne on you then they had air superiority. Russia does not at the moment, that's one big issue with their failure of a campaign

@@Wirrn except the vdv didn't go to Kiev? They were dropped on Hostomel and they took it, fell back after holding up a whole Ukrainian armored regiment for a day, then retook it next day with the help of Russian armor. The attack on Kiev (which wasn't carried out by the VDV) was clearly a feint because there were only 40k troops assigned to take the city at the peak of the supposed attack, which is nowhere near enough to take a target that size. It was clearly a distraction meant to pin down Ukrainian troops that could've been elsewhere, like 1st Marines did in the invasion of Iraq

[@Wirrn]

@@ramonmartinsoto3717 hostomel - where their actual objective was to secure it so it could be used to ferry troops in, not wreck it as they get neaten back - has been their only halfway success.

[@coltpiecemaker]

Huh, after seeing this test, the fact that the military wants to replace the M4 and .556 makes much more sense... 30 year old soviet body armor shouldn't be defeating modern armor-piercing ammo. Makes you wonder how good some of the newer stuff being fielded is...

[@Captain_fubar]

I mean there's plenty of crazy shit now like the super Liba that makes claims of stopping like 30 7.62 AP rounds

[@georgebigr]

855a1 isn’t AP highly doubt this would take m995 and survive it

[@termitreter6545]

It is interesting how effective that armor is, but none of the ammo used is "real" armor piercing rifle ammo. MP7/P90 got almost the same energy as 9mm rounds, they clearly use pistol cartridges. M855A1, while better than M855A1, isnt considering armor piercing either.

[@libatencate3732]

The Super LIBA is a 20 year old design, the one I just bought was manufactured in 2001.

[@hjorturerlend]

If you're willing to take the weight or cost hit, upgrading your plates is always infinitely easier than developing new "super rounds". Why wouldn't it defeat M855 tho? It's the round they were expecting to face. It's also not real AP.
