Pretty sure the 5 was a measurement as level V doesnt exist currently, either way looks better than IIIA, very quality work and no criticism meant just don't want you getting fooled by fake sellers.
@@zheka1780 It would have a BR suffix if made after 2017 which it doesnt(5,5A,6,6A) too be honest its not even marked with its rating as those are manufacturer marks and the rating isnt even shown at all. You can see similar marks on other cheaply made "russian body armor" from china. They tried to copy a legit company logo as well and failed.
Great video. When you think about 100 tons being exerted in that small area, that's about like a GP38 locomotive being balanced on an area the size of a silver dollar. Hydraulics are certainly cool!
Indeed , and while it was very tough , at the same time it looked to be a bit brittle the way it flew to pieces . then again , i suppose there is probably a happy medium that it has to be hard enough to resist a size X projectile going through it , and still be light enough for a person to wear . it would be interesting to see how they work out the metallurgy of it .
Slow progressive loading very different to the instant shock loading of a bullet. I was involved in making / developing some Titanium armour back in the mid 70's.
That tank armor much more malleable than I expected. So at least now we know it's can easy to beat a Russian tank. All you need is a 500 ton hydraulic press.
How about some respect for that cheap-as-chips composite flooring pieces *under* the titanium plates? They didn't mash flat. We should be making airplanes and tanks from that stuff!
Just did a quick search and found a site with a poster that knows guns very well , and apparently a 50 calibre machine gun round firing a 650 gram round travelling at 3000 ft per second would leave the muzzle with about 7 tons behind it , but by the time it carries to its target and some frictional losses , it will probably be a bit less than that . I dont know what that would work out to , but lets guess and say 2 tons of WACK , dam and ouch , that is still going to hurt even if it does not penetrate .
