Advantages of the “ceramic” body armor developed by Belarusian scientists

For many, it is no secret how hard it is for those who serve in the army. A soldier’s full uniform sometimes weighs up to fifty kilograms. With such a heavy load on the shoulders to fight is very difficult. Belarusian scientists believe that it is possible to significantly reduce the weight of a bulletproof vest, that is, use ceramics instead of steel in its manufacture. It is hard to believe this, but a couple of years ago at one of the exhibitions in Minsk a group of scientists read a report on the properties of armor ceramics. They suggested using this material for peaceful purposes, in construction and industry. After the report of scientists, the military asked if their invention could be used to create a lighter body armor. And so that he remains a reliable defense for the soldier. The know-how of Belarusian inventors lies in the fact that they proposed to make the armor plate modular, that is, the team, as a designer. The outer layer is a conventional ceramic plate with a thickness of three millimeters. The bullet does not pierce it and at the same time it is deformed and deviates from its trajectory. The second layer consists of ceramic balls or cylinders, filled with a resinous composition. This layer gives the vest flexibility and, due to the rounded surface of the composite components, knocks the bullet out of the way. After several such ricochets, she begins to "jerk" the entire armored plate. As a result, all this to the third layer, consisting of another ceramic plate, gets a clump of lead, not a bullet. Stand it or not - it does not matter. The last layer, consisting of a special durable Kevlar fabric, lead a lump of no more than ten millimeters. That does not threaten the life of a fighter.

The weight of ceramics is about two and a half times less than the specific gravity of steel. The weight of the finished body armor will not exceed ten kilograms. Belarusian development does not require expensive, new equipment. The cost of such a bulletproof vest will be about three hundred dollars.

The tests for which an armor plate was made, consisting of small ceramic plates measuring twenty by thirty centimeters, showed that such a bullet-proof vest according to Russian State Standard meets the third class of protection.

The novelty has not yet been put into production. The developers hope that their invention will find its consumer and will be in demand. So, if we ever meet a soldier in such a ceramic body armor, this will not be surprising.

lead com bends no more than ten millimeters

Interestingly, is this not enough to break a bone or get another serious injury?
And so in bulletproof vests ceramics have been used for a long time

[AlievMR]

A knee kick in the chest area bends 50 millimeters.

[J_silver]

Well, you are bent!

[AlievMR]

I did not bend. It is scientifically proven. But the blow, of course, should be on the level.
And so it is very real.

[KASKAD]

What is an article for degenerates? Ceramics has been used around the world since the 80s and is now becoming obsolete, replaced by newer lighter and more resistant to three times more hits than ceramics and materials that do not crumble from three hits.

Check out the American bronics Belarusians nervously smoke with their bronics 80 years http://lovi.tv/video/hlakuwcnon/Bronegilet_Dragon_skin

[esaul]

If memory serves me right, then the third degree of protection is a representative class armor or from 80's, has something changed in the classification? Tell me guys who are competent.

[Artemka]

Soon, obviously, he will have to check it out.

[Staff_]

It is interesting from what it was fired, with what and from what distance?

[Insurgent]

It seems they wrote from 25 meters with SVD

[APASUS]

The weight of the finished body armor will not exceed ten kilograms.

Too much, the weight of a modern body armor should not exceed 5 kg

Belarusian development does not require expensive, new equipment. The cost of such body armor will be approximately three hundred dollars.

Modern body armor is a high-tech production and its cost usually starts at $ 500

[Insurgent]

we are talking about army body armor and not for vip persons

[Uhalus]

Well, it depends on what class of protection ... I’ve seen a Jewish RAV-300, so it weighs 12 kg ... And also the 3rd class of protection.

[Insurgent]

And where did you see him on TV?

[Anatoly]

At least, it pleases that Belarusians try, invent, develop.

[vadimus]

Brothers Belarusians RESPECT

[Kostyan]

Belarusians are now busy with survival and plowing intensively in the gardens ... because the country was brought to such a point that everything is .... end .... and I will not exaggerate ... people who are dissatisfied continue to disappear, salaries of $ 30-50 .... give out at the wrong time .... don’t go to the store .. crime raises its head ... in short darkness ... and they are going to fight all ... sold already beltransgaz ... all kapets .... what kind of war? we’ll soon rest ourselves ......

[Insurgent]

And he did the right thing that Russia sold the northern stream built so that you do not press on it as before

[Kostyan]

and the lope of that stream ... heh..renya bandwidth .....

[Uhalus]

Maybe I don’t argue ... Just something quite a lot of acquaintances dumped me in Belarus for permanent residence ... Until recently, they were satisfied, now they began to grumble. But they say that in Russia it is still worse in terms of the main parameters (education, medicine, etc.), and not in the garbage deposits in stores. So, is our railway station still Belarusian?
And at the same time, they are stirring something, trying to get out, Batko does not allow to tear the country apart, as it was with us; they still have science, even trying to develop something new. Let the Belarusians be fine ... though not right away.

[Alexei]

And I have a lot of friends dumped from Belarus to Russia. In Russia, apparently, the possibilities are wider. But I believe that everyone should do something for the country, and not for their beloved - this is the problem of our time.

[saturn.mmm]

and what to combine is impossible to do for the country and for yourself

[Kostyan]

I don’t understand .. having so much dough in the Russian Federation. and it’s bad to live .. it’s incomprehensible ..... but here it’s even worse ... believe me from the latest innovations ..... in stores we began to write sausage prices for 100 gr .... I don’t know how to laugh or cry .. .... 100 dollars salary ... this is cool full ....

[sir]

do you need bones from Belarus itself?

[Kostyan]

Yes sir....

[dred]

Let's see how this armored man sees himself.

[Odessa]

Bullet-proof vest is a prototype of chain mail, for centuries humanity has been perfecting armor or, as they say today, ammunition. It is clear that developments in this regard do not stop, but become more and more perfect every year. Well done Belarusians, commendable!

[Dimka off]

Well done, prepare as much as possible)

[Kostyan]

getting ready for what ... we are starving to death ..... look at our prices and compare with the salary ...... here the scribe is full ....

[Insurgent]

Which city is interesting, say Minsk, rather, you stink from the opposition on all sites where you can

[Kostyan]

no .. I'm from the village .... Maloritsky borough .....

[Insurgent]

The hammer looked at the map)))

[Project by nemesis]

Well moloriki guys what to say. If it is not inferior in terms of the characteristics of a steel armor, then this is its worthy substitute.

[Tyumen]

To create something joint in this direction. Life is hard, but Belarusians are working, not German but Italian armor bought.

[Kostyan]

Belarusians suck at papacolli pi.dara.sa ..... salaries of 30-50 dollars .... how can you live ....

[Insurgent]

Listen, you mixed up the topic here on military topics and not on ekonomics

[Kostyan]

I wrote that the economy, as one of the components of the state, is not something that it can’t switch to military rails, but that peace can’t do much ....

[Pathologus]

Kostyan, zadalbal srach induce, disappear!

[saruman]

Ceramic plates for body armor have long been produced. At courses in the year 2002m, they shot at 100m, a 5.45 bullet with a red-hot core from AKS74U. Ceramic plate in a pocket of a bronik - in dust, the vest is not broken. By the way, the same bullet was fired at a steel armor plate, as if it had been burned by a bullet. They didn’t give a shot at titanium.

[belarus]

development not only in the use of ceramics but also in multilayer. filling. no one argues that Belarusians first guessed to use ceramics

[list67]

Kostyan,
Belarusians suck at papacolli pi.dara.sa ..... salaries of 30-50 dollars .... how can you live ....

Suck it yourself! You are responsible for yourself, and not for the whole of Belarus. And do not lie about salaries.

[Guns]

every country has its own castian, who lacks yagi and hera for shit democracy. I did not see the starving people in Belarus, either in the capital or in the village. but recently, from Moscow to Vladivostok, a car ride .. I've seen enough of this, that there’s no need for war

[Kostyan]

[J_silver]

Yes, it’s clear that it’s not just that “comrade” is hanging around here - if necessary, then a Belarusian, or a Far Easterner, and served in the army twenty years ago, and passed the exam last year ...

[Kostyan]

what Far East ????

[Thunder 1]

Kostyan, where did you see the salary of $ 30?
I live in Minsk.
Ads in the store of loaders for 3 million take.
Me and all my friends on average from $ 300 to $ 500, before we started to be strangled, it was ~ 800-1000, which, with our prices, was enough for our ears and for everything.
2 times a year on vacation drove to Turkey or Egypt.
Yes, 300-500 is certainly not much, but you need to compare prices and tariffs.
For example, for the utilities this month I paid 99 thousand - $ 11
1 kW costs 189.3 rubles, the same $ 524 came out for 11 kW
Translate into rubles.
And now, quietly, all salaries are being pulled to 4 million.
From spring, I think everything will be normal.

[Guns]

Yes, he cheated, he’s golemic, he’s not worth attention, in many topics he’s throwing his shit at the fan

[Kostyan]

you are a Hans, just an uncultured person .... be ashamed of the hate ....

[Kostyan]

30 dollars at the school cleaner, almost the whole village doesn’t work .. everyone hats everything ... well, in Minsk there may be such salaries ... but in the village we don’t ... and I can’t go abroad .... 4 million ... dreams .. dreams ...

[belarus]

Thunder 1,
Do not compare; Minsk; I work on a piece of iron; we serve the Mozy refinery; 2 Lyamas come out

[belarus]

Kostyan, what did you want in chocolate to have a secondary education? Well, go to Moscow for a construction site and maybe return with your pants, or better yet blow to the European Union In Lithuania, for example, there are no jobs at all normal young people in England are all left with alcoholics and drug addicts. Well, where we are not. Learn to get a profession and better than a few and you will be fine

[oleg-sochi68]

If such a body armor withstands an SVD bullet from 25 meters, as they say, then this is not pretty weak.

[Pathologus]

Well done Belarusians, they work and there is a real result! Congratulations!

[General_Nogay]

Well done Belarusians! No wonder the dad doesn’t allow everyone to accapitate!

[Honory]

And why is ceramics better than American Kevlar?
