Incorrect comparison of kits for the sapper OVR-1 "Falcon" and ZKS "Dublon"

In the media there was a message about the adoption by the Ministry of Defense of a new kit for the sapper OVR-1 "Falcon", in which there was a mass of inaccuracies and errors.

So, the OVR-1 “Falcon”, which protects only from fragments (and not from bullets!) With speeds NOT EXCEEDING 550 m / s, was compared by journalists with the Dublon in its maximum configuration. Yes, in the maximum configuration “Dublon” really weighs 40,5 kg, but at the same time it provides circular protection over the entire area from fragments with speeds of 550 m / s and has a reinforced area in 60 square meters protecting the vital organs, as well as AKM bullets with a heat-strengthened core and high-speed fragments. It should be noted that the purpose of these kits is different. OVR-1 "Falcon", in contrast to the "Dublon", is not intended for direct detection and disposal of explosive objects.

We offer readers a more correct comparative analysis.

OVR-1 "Falcon" is a modernized Grenadier suit developed by Fort Tekhnologiya, in which steel elements were replaced with polyethylene ones. The level of the main splinter protection in it V50 = 270 m / s, reinforced, including with the help of polyethylene armor panels, 550 m / s. The costume is completed with a splinterproof helmet with anti-shock polycarbonate visor and splinterproof glasses that have a splinterproof level of V50 not higher than 250-270 m / s. 8 kit weight kg.

“Dublon” in the minimum configuration “A” provides CIRCLE protection over the entire area, incl. and face shards with V50 NOT BELOW 550 m / s. At the same time, Dublon-A has no armor elements. Protection is provided only by aramid fabric structures. 17,5 kit weight kg. Yes, it is more than 8 kg, but also the protection, especially of the face and limbs, is significantly higher than that of Falcon.

In the following modifications (“B”, “C” and “G”), the Dublon is completed with armor elements, not steel, but TITAN. Titan, as it is known, is non-magnetic, therefore, in the "Dublons" you can not be afraid of mines with magnetic fuses. Moreover, the emphasis is on increasing the level of protection not only of vital organs, but also of the joints (elbows, knees). Modifications differ only in the area of ​​enhanced protection, as a result - and weight.

Heavy chain mail, but no one heard the news about new means of armor protection? Is there anything new.

[Phantom Revolution]

Is it strange that the boots are clearly not for hiking in the minefields, or does the sapper already need his legs?

"Dublon in the minimum configuration" A "provides ROUND protection over the entire area, including the face from shrapnel with V50 NOT LESS THAN 550 m / s."

NOT LESS. Also allocated. Cool if so.

I look at the protection of the legs in the photo and I'm scared for the fighters.

I look at the protection of the legs in the photo and I'm scared for the fighters.

In the second photo, what’s at the bottom, everything seems to be not so scary.
Leg protection worked out too.

[Refund_SSSR]

Pay attention to the legs.

[Canep]

Clowns. Under such boots, mines will explode in the same way. Only PMN will not tear off the whole leg, but half.

[Metlik]

It's time to make an exoskeleton based on this costume.

[Phantom Revolution]

Og, but where to get the micromanipulator and everything else?)

No matter how heavy and protected the sapper suit may be, in any case it will not save from a relatively powerful WU, and any sapper does not want to remain disabled for life. Brains are the main defense. Although, from casual antipersonnel, competent shoes with an absorbing coating and other gadgets are sure to protect. Circular protection can be provided at least for 6A class, but the mass of this kit ... Plus 6A can withstand a large fragment, but what about high-explosive action? ... Loads are not comic ...

[Canep]

The standard anti-personnel mine of PMN is equipped with 200 g. TNT, enough to break the steel rope, no shoes will save, tear off his leg to the very balls in the place with the boot. Some safety shoes can protect against PFM (40 grams of liquid explosives).

[Canep]

If a serious charge is undermined, no suit will save, this protection is more likely to have psychological significance for the sapper himself.

[ed1968]

such a suit is primarily likely to have a psychological impact on enemies with its design
