UK soldiers had better go on a diet as the belt is suppose to carry their weight if they have been wounded, another soldier grabs the belt and carries them to safety.
Came looking for this comment. South African army still uses this type of belt. Fun fact, the belt is supposed to be strong so you have something to grab and pull your buddy to safety if they get shot, Uk belt is an absolute fail in that regard.
I like how the modern America belt is likely strong enough for conceivable uses but then breaks away without breaking the buckle. It seems like a pretty good design even though the buckle is plastic. The old Russian and America ones were pretty good because bending the clip restored them to full operation.
The buckle is designed to release at approximately 10g shock with a 40# load (1.78-2KN) to reduce injuries and entanglements and designed to be able to be quickly released under load with one hand.
The newer USA LBE belt quick release buckle is designed to release without breaking between 1.78 and 2 kilonewtons (10g shock at 40-45#) to reduce injuries and entanglement. Parachute buckles and adjusters are not designed to release or slip under load. When I was a paratrooper, we did not jump with the belt buckled, but would unbuckle the belt, loosen the shoulder straps, fold the ends in and pull the two sides through the diagonal back-straps of the parachute harness. When we rappelled, we used a harness or Swiss Seat but kept the belt buckled.
@@Penny-mk7fv A 'rigger belt' should not come loose or break because it is a life safety device. Load bearing equipment is intended to be quickly donned and doffed, with the preference that the gear be lost rather than a deadly entanglement or drowning.
Amazingly made by Stalinium! With a simple design, the holder is small but able to withstand very heavy loads. With just a little damage, even old designs can still be repaired
Exactly. The old American one was the same way. Just bend the clip back into place and it is fully restored. We have gotten too far away from this type of simple yet robust engineering on so many things.
5:04 это не настоящий солдатский ремень. Это подделка. Солдатским ремнем можно буксировать автомобиль. А солдатской стальной каской СССР мы поднимали под гусеницу одну сторону танка т-55😅
Mondjuk, egy vadiúj és egy használt (valószínűleg már leselejtezett öv összehasonlításának eredménye kb. nulla relevanciával bír. Egyébként pedig, ez a kétfogas csat a peremezetlen lyukú vászon övvel, nem éppen egy zseniális innováció. Egy-két hónap aktív használat közben az a két fog olyan szépen szét fogja rojtolni a lyukakat, hogy az az öv lóf@szt sem fog tartani. Nem véletlen, hogy a buggyant ruszkikon kívül senki sem használ olyan vászon övet, ahol a csat csatlakozó részei érintkeznek a vászonnal. Persze, ezt a problémát kiküszöbölhetnék a ruszkik egy belső velcro réteg használatával, de az már valószínűleg túl drága lenne nekik. 🤷
The 1940 US belt is actually a UK 1944 pattern belt, initially issued for jungle warfare, then onward after the war until 1958 until the pattern changed, great channel, captivating, great RU-vid thanks
It’s not 1944 pattern. The ‘44 pattern belt was made up of three pieces, a left and right hand front part with the two halves of the buckle, and a back piece. This might be Canadian ‘51 pattern.
That new Russian belt could be easily used as improvised rigger belt. I use belt that was meant to hold fully grown bull in place. I think it has around 3 tonnes breaking point. Not useful as trousers belt, but darn awesome for gear carry.
Солдаты срочной службы с помощью этих ремней таскают ящики, тяжёлые предметы за которые трудно ухватиться руками, некоторые даже умудряются этими ремнями двигатели из техники вытаскивать. Блин, я тебе военную тайну раскрыл. Меня расстреляют.😂
@@user-zp4iz8sw4e есть вечные произведения, типа "Броненосца Потёмкин", выполненные гениями, а есть проходное: это творчество Масленикова. Или вы можете назвать какой-нибудь его фильм, который стоит отметить? Поэтому да. Советский Шерлок Холмс - занудщина, посредственная и проходная. Пожалуй, из всего спустя годы останется только музыка Дашкевича и голос Ливанова. Остальное не стоит того, чтобы сохраниться во времени.
Horses for courses - there are times you don't want a belt to break (when you need it to work as a belt in most circumstances) and there are times you want the belt to break (entanglement) rather than let the belt break you. A compromise has to be reached, and each country has their own tolerance to risk, different risk appetite and mindset for dealing with people. I personally want a belt to be a belt and not to kill people, not to be the strongest item on the planet and lift huge weights that are reserved for cranes and chains, but other perople may want that capability, just in case they need it. When you are in a jam, you don't want your belt to hold you back, get caught on something that ensnares you and cut you in half. It is a belt, if it breaks you get another one or improvise with something until you get a new one. If a belt breaks, you can still carry on. The great thing about the British Forces is the ability to constantly improvise when things go wrong (and they always do go wrong in war). There is no such thing as fail-safe, 100% guaranteed or full reliability on everything. There are only three things the British Forces rely upon, themselves, their buddies and their ability to complete their mission, everything else is really inconsequential. It is a mindset issue - don't delude people thinking they have 'super human' equipment, they invariably have to rely on themselves and their initiative a lot of the time. Not everything is fastened properly in life - just accept it and move on. Russia may have the strongest belts in the world, but when it comes to warfare, we are seeing in real-time how quickly they buckle. When you are measuring belts instead of bravery, you are measuring the wrong thing.
The Austrian belt is a stylish copy of the Canadian 1964 Pattern and 1990s Garrison Dress buckle. I suspect the Canadian Velcro would have slid as fast as back bacon in a hot frying pan.
The so called " USA 1940 " belt is actually a 1944 Pattern British Army belt and not latched properly. This 44 Pattern webbing was issued to British Army late 1944-45 to troops in the CBI theatre, included revised aluminium water bottle similar to USGI and also a holster for the Browning HP 9mm pistol which saw eervice among the Paras in 1945 .
Old russian and american belts - very sturdy and if it breaks, just use some basic tools to fix it and make it like new. New russian belt - can be used to tow trucks stuck in the mud. British belt - will break if the soldier tries to hang more than 2 teabags on it.
I used a 58 pattern webbing belt that I required from my dad's reserve kit. Did me for my 8yr service from 1998 to 2006 and a roll pin belt on my PLCE webbing.
5:25 The “1940 USA” belt isn’t from the United States or is it from 1940, It’s a P58 British belt, you can tell from the buckle and the 2 buckles at the back.
In the UK we use a belt similar to the 1940 american belt. Some people use plastic buckled ones but the majority wear something similar to the 1940 american belt
This is interesting. I understand why the buckle would need to be able to be able to bear loads up to a certain point but then break afterward. If you made an indestructible buckle with a strong ass fabric, and the soldier's belt was caught on something, that's life threatening potentially. You'd want it to break away to save your life and a belt is designed to secure your clothes/uniform and hold things. It is interesting to see which buckle breaks first though. I'd like to see a video of the fabric strength tested as well.
Your so called US belt @5.30 is actually a Dutch M53 pattern belt used from 1953 untill 1993, that one is probably from the '70's as it still has Brass fittings. Later ones would have anodised Ally.
The 1940’s usa belt is actually a dutch belt used by the army from i think the late forties to about 1990. It looks a lot like the US belt because it was based on the same design. And you used it wrong, i am amazed at how much it still holds
This belt seems to be multi purposed - to get an engine out of the vehicle in certain conditions, or to evacuate/get back on the track light infantry vehicle with 4 of these, for example.
По нашим стандартам замок защёлка на страховочных поясах не должен открываться при минимальной нагрузке 200 кг -это тот что защелкивается, тот что с с двумя шпильками как на офицерском замке минимально 700кг,а сама лента -пояс рвется при нагрузке не менее 1тонны и то в месте соединения в основном рвутся нитки которыми прострочена лента одна половинка к другой где петля для замка.
I would pick US or CN, because it can hold my weight with all I can carry and have reserve, yet brake before my spine does would it catch (or anything I have on it catch) say on passing vehicle. I would definitely avoid both extremes (RU and GB).
but you are putting the kilos on a second-generation lever arm, which multiplies the force, the belts are being subjected to greater stresses than those indicated by the press
