as a note if you get your hand on another one of these plates and the carrier, the protection package is designed to be used as a whole. Fairly certain than 40 extra layers of kevlar would have altered the test results
110%. Ratnik system was really big step forward in Russian body armor compared to the heavy steel plates of past. The array of ceramic tiles, without overlap, allows for a lot of repeat hits to be stopped as long as they're not hitting the same exact spot. Solid modern infantrymen body armor. They weren't sitting on their hands, and were certainly watching what worked and what didn't work for the US in the War on Terror.
I have a 6B45, its rated at GOST 5A or the equivalent to NIJ III+. the 6B43 is rated at GOST 6A which would be the equivalent to NIJ IV plates in the old standard from what I researched.
They revised the standards 2017 and made a "BR" rating.
GOST-5 and GOST-5A got dropped under the new standard, which would classify my 6B45 as a GOST-BR4+
GOST-6 and GOST-6A were combined into GOST-BR5.
Thank you for the info!
Было очень интересно увидеть у вас бронеплиту от 6Б43, хотя этот бронежилет 2010 года у нас считается устаревшим. Его в 2014 году заменил бронежилет 6Б45. У вас бронеплита 6А класса и он очень не плохо себя показала в вашем тесте, но была слишком тяжелая - 3.1 килограмма. Хотя она обеспечивала очень хорошую защиту, но в 2014 году ее заменили в 6Б45 на более легкие бронеплиты 5А, весом 2.7 килограмма при 2 размере бронеплиты. У них чуть ниже класс защиты то более комфортный вес. В моем бронежилете стоят как раз такие пластины. Если у вас получится их найти, уверен вам будет очень интересно их протестировать.
Thank you for the info. Given the 2010 date I would say they performed very well!
Do svidana tovarich!
Что 5А что 6А я успешно пробивал из .308 Swiss P AP до 500 метров вместе с владельцем.
@@rodvarg7820 ну успешной поимки 120 ки с отрывом всего лишнего вам желаю, в плен вас всё равно не возьмут, наши снайперов не любят.
@@rodvarg7820 Translation may be wrong, did Swiss P AP DEFEAT the plate or did the Plate stop the bullet?
3509 fps with an M80A1 projectile, wow. Is that the highest recorded you've shot on the channel so far with that specific load?
I do believe so!
Wow that SSG-82 is beautiful. Thanks for bringing it out. What a treat.
It sure is!
I wonder what the actual true protection be, if it was combined with the standard issue 6B45 Ratnik Vest + 6B43 GOST 6A plate. With the vest having about 30 layer of aramid fibers have a backer. It should be able to capture any bullets that has punched through the ceramic plate, and reduced BFT to the user.
hi ,russian vest industry goes by its own way.
We prefer a lot of balisic armor.
6094(and big part of west models like ciras but with good construction) we use with extra big camerbands ,big neck balisic armor ,warbelts with cevlar , groin and butt cevlar armor.
And we have climate amartisasion panels "КАП" they uses for air circulation and amartisasion from hits to plate(shot from 308/7,62r)
5a and 6a are the same in use because no one use something bigger than svd or sr 25 in assault or defence ,for bigger calibers we use bmp ,tanks and other vehicles .Russian army dont prefers meat shtorms
I got my hands on a 6B23 vest, sadly without rifle plates and I was impressed with the kevlar performance. Especially considering the condition it was in. I expected degraded performance but it stopped every pistol threat I gave it. Even ss198 from a S&W M&P 57. The kevlar didn't do anything against even the weakest 223 of course. Wish I had a plate to test it full up.
Yeah, I got a couple free interceptor vests that the Air Force was getting rid of, so I took a few and tested them out. They stop slugs and the 9mm was stopped without even any deformation. Did not stop a 30-30 though.
I have a mint 6b23-1 stolen from an armory. We shouldn't shoot these things up, prices are sky rocketing and that's not helping😊
@@Kalashnigoon the one I got was already in bad shape. I didn't destroy one worth collecting. It's former owner didn't care either. It was covered in cigarette burns.
Хороший результат, учитывая что плита сделана в 2013 году. А срок хранения 8 лет. Жаль что их больше не выпускают и перешли на более низкий класс бронезащиты 5а. В российской армии их практически нет.
Thanks for the info.
Dude you got an SSG 82 nice!!
Also the video & audio quality looks excellent. Keep up the great work man.
Thanks a ton! Getting a little better cutting audio peaks to then boost spoken audio and keeping the gunshots below. And when the sun isn't out in full force the video looks better :D
Yeah a family friend who was an FFL during the early 90s had it. He never really shot it, so I bought it off him. I had a trigger shoe and extractor 3D printed (metal) to keep the 2 originals intact..
Wow, you absolutely blew up in subs! Good on you. Your content is always fun.
Would love to get some M885A1 to test on my own channel, I would do soft targets to see results compared to actual M855
I wish I could blow up in subs. :D I'm lucky to grow 1-2% per month.. Thanks youtube. Send me an email or DM about the A1 :D
It did much better than I thought it would.
Buffman! Best guntuber hands down. Constantly pumping our ape brains with great content! We love you brother!
I appreciate that! :)
In 2018, I purchased three 5A-rated bulletproof plates
I received it via international shipping from a Russian soldier
Surprisingly, it was $65 each !
It's crazy expensive now.
You made out like a mad man !
Fantastic review and insight into their manufacturing process.
Thanks for watching!
Your channel always has interesting content and I like your presentation style. 3500+ FPS is crazy fast
Thank you very much!
genuinely impressed
Nice video. Hope you get the italian plate soon.
You know I should track that
As always, awesome test! 🤙🏼
Thanks again!
WINCHAD SLAYS AGAIN
But in all fairness it does look like it just barely made it through.
Unified chest/back plate; For body armor 6Б43; Item No. .... ; size 2.
You should do a review of the Tactical Scorpion ASP RF2 plate. Their site says it's only PE, 10x12 is only 3.1lbs, and 1/2" thick. All this and it suppose to be multi-hit with six hits with velocities up to 3245 fps against 5.56 M193, velocities up to 3100 fps against 5.56 M855, and M855A1 at 3134fps. These seem like incredible claims for a lightweight and thin plate.
They have a SIC strike face :D Test is completed. Waiting for edit time..
That sounds super based.
@@BuffRANGE Noice! That strike face makes total sense now for the rating and weight. The site just says PE and I was trying to figure out what type of black magic they did to get that rating lol! Looking forward to the test, sounds like a great competitor to the Hesco M210.
awesome video buffman, as always
Glad you enjoyed!
Я Вас благодарю и хочу поздравить, Вы первый в сети интернета, кто отстрилял грудную плиту 6б43 6а. За 10 лет существования этих плит ни у кого не хватило ума их отсрилять. Порадовало что ей 11 лет,а она уверенно держит...Более свежие плиты такого уровня называются 6б45-1 Штурмовой.То же самое,мне они встречались 2020 года выпуска.
A rather impressive plate indeed. Thanks for stopping by.
6B43 uses chromium-doped alumina from OOO Alox from Sankt Petersburg. Not the highest quality material.
lmao what ?
@@JohnDoe-gq6yg Chromium-doped Aluminum Oxide. Alumina is a name for Aluminum Oxide. OOO is probably a reference to the O3 part of Al 2 O3 (aka aluminum oxide) and "Alox" is another name for Aluminum Oxide. Not sure why the redundancy, but given the "Sankt" in Saint Petersburg, the grammar, and the user's name being "Piotr", I'm going to assume he's not a native English speaker. Either way, I can't tell if he's implying that chromium-doped Alox itself is "not the highest quality material" or that it's not the highest quality because it was made in Saint Petersburg
@@nsf001-3 OOO means Limited Liability Company in Russia.
And that's not the highest quality material because of purity (94 - 96%), doping (chromia was replaced by magnesia for alumina doping), hardness (1450 - 1500 HV in comparison to 1700 HV in high quality alumina) and Young's modulus (310 - 340 GPa in comparison to 360 - 380 GPa in high quality alumina).
@@Zadlo14 I see, thanks for the clairification
Exactly! No special doping just a lack of Al203 purity...
One thing I appreciate about your channel, other than your humor and keeping close to NIJ standards, is testing plates against likely threats.
For viewers interested in purchasing armor, the question is going to be how is this plate going to perform against what I'm likely to face?
While the threat faced changes based on the viewer, testing a Russian armor against NATO cartridges, U.S. armor against Russian cartridges makes sense and is something other channels don't tend to do.
Winchad power!
that is impresive really impresive
I would say so!
Where can I find this c scale that you're referencing? Great video as always
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_scale
That is beyond worst case scenario with AP at those speeds.
Worst is .338 AP under 300m.
I love the one piece music in the background haha
Indeed :D Hopefully it falls under fair use...
@@BuffRANGE hey by chance have you ever tested guard dog level 4 plates? I've seen them tested on other channels but I only trust you 😂😂
Impressive performance. What was the platelet size? 4x4 cm? You informed us about the thickness.
10x12 Inches, he said it in the video
@@CharlieFoxtrot128 He's talking about the tiles
Can you fly a 40mm grenade or a mortar round into it as a retest?
So M2 AP is 30 Rockwell and M855AI is over 60??? Why didn’t they do this sooner?
M2ap is 59-64 RHC. M855a1 is 59-60 RHC. m855 penetrator is 49-52 RHC
I wonder if the German SMkH tungsten carbide cored 7.92 would have gone through it? Kinda interesting how no one really got into mass producing and fielding tungsten cored rifle rounds.
No doubt. There’s nothing tested to stop it because of the Tungsten they’re using. Tungsten is expensive. Not fiscally possible large scale deployment.
@@BuffRANGEwhy is that round so special?, why does it penetrate every armor that we have seen so far?.
@@Red-238 Based on people way smarter than me "That's so-called tungsten heavy alloy ("WHA") -- that's not the cemented carbide (tungsten carbide + cobalt) material that's in most of today's advanced AP bullet cores. They theorize that WHA may hold together better than WC-Co against ceramic..
@@BuffRANGE is it too expensive for it to be mass produced?, and what material or technology do you think will replace such rounds in armor penetration capabilities?.
@@Red-238It would seem at a certain point, until something is developed that's tougher than tungsten, that and depleted uranium are the go to materials used for penetrators. DU isn't used in small arms munitions though.
Have you found any plates which will stop the German WW2 SmKH rounds?
at NIJ 45', No.
a fresh Colossus plate might stop it but it ain't worth testing.
5:48
Blyat!
Is it a problem to produce enough? Why, then, does Russia not just cover its needs, but also exports them? :)
Good question. That's the claim anyways that they can't field in quantity, but maybe that's a lie..
@@BuffRANGE there a lot of other manufacturers with even better plates like Fort, Atlas, Nii Stali, Npp Klass and etc. And all of them produce body armor for RU soldiers, spec units and volunteers.
What's the size and weight of the plate?
effectively 10"X12" and 7lbs
@@BuffRANGE Thank you for the info!
Need to test against 6.8mm
No one has viable 6.8 ammo the Army is saying they have. Rest assured if I can find a way to get some, I Will
@@BuffRANGE You're not missing out much. Seems to be following the standard issue pattern of a standard steelcore FMJ round designed similarly to an up scaled M855A1, with the special tungsten AP rounds being much less issued other than case by case (rumors say theyll only be issued to the 6.8 LMGs, similar to the m995 box for m249s/m993 box for m240 you see when in service.)
A recent open information document showed they were buying almost entirely the FMJ Steelcore with a significant hundred thousand (believe it was 450k rounds) for their field test units, with only a few tens of thousands of the AP stuff. All of that supposedly being completed via contract by the end of 2026, iirc.
What i've seen is the FMJ Steelcore 6.8x51 doesn't (reliably) penetrate any of your common NIJ IV ceramics even at close range, but it does give them significant BFD, and generally has a tendency to rip and separate the soft-armor backer from the ceramic strike face, on top of taking chunks out, pretty significantly.
There isn't much I can say on AP due to closed door testing with that and it being very highly restricted, but there is some evidence SIG is still experimenting with the bullet design and are deciding with the military between a traditional tungsten core style design, or a sabot style penetrator design like MAI and SSA do with multiple cartridges.
Itll be interesting to see what range performance the AP and FMJ would have though, cuss you've shown that m993 starts to loose penetration reliability out at 200meters and further via a short barrel bullpup on one of your earlier vids. 200meters in modern combat is basically spitting distance outside CQC these days.
Though most of that is observation, obviously it'd be best if you got your hands on some at some point and we see these results in a more controlled setting in accordance to the NIJ standard.
Good illustration of why the 6.8x51mm is a thing.
It would seem my use of M80A1 at 3,500 exceeds the performance goal of 6.8 and many plates stop that round. Now if they've hardened the tip and changed the shape, that will be something to contend with, but the tungsten variant is likely to be the shinning light ..
matt did you pay 1300 for those two plates?
Which 2?
Russian plates or did I miss it was just 1? Ether way
The war in Ukraine is pretty gnarly. I always imagined the Russians would have had the edge on armour protection when they invaded like they did but just seems like only top tier troops get body armour worth anything really. From my understanding AP ammo has become more common in small arms since the war in Syria and the regional conflict against Isis as cheap Chinese and Russian made body armour became more common place.
Great video and love the adherence to protocol. Buffman do you think that countries will start issuing more AP ammo since the unprovoked war in Ukraine?
Hard to say. Material cost is the concern. Tungsten AP ammo for everyone isn't even a thing with US miliary, but with the ability to harden steel, it would seem like a smart logistics. Likewise the projectile design alone is one element, we still need some speed behind it, and our Russian calibers seemingly lack that ability, at least at their current design.. (5.45 Max Op is 10-12K psi below 5.56)
Switching to hardened steel penetrators could be something we see in the future. Increased pressures and the wear and tear from exposed penetraors would impact the lifespan of any current service rifle. That new M6 rifle I imagine is one solution.
Unprovoked
@@ChuckMothaEfenNorris yeah unprovoked
The Israeli army today buys body armor from China for those mobilized. And volunteers collect money for socks and underpants for soldiers. We will compare when your country mobilizes hundreds of thousands of people.
How do you have an SSG?
I was there when they tore down the wall. J/K. An older FFL had it and they never used it. So I bought it.
@@BuffRANGE That is such a cool rifle, can you do a review of it at some point? I've seen forgotten weapons video about it but I want to know what it's like to shoot, and seeing an accuracy test would be really cool
@@tm1182 I could at some point. Ian did a really good job covering most of the working parts of it, but I should try it for groups at somepoint.
@@BuffRANGEThat would be awesome, and you'd probably be the only source for that info that isn't locked away in some old soviet design bureau filing cabinet

There are many manufacturers of armor plates in Russia. Specifically, these plates are produced on a sufficient scale for the needs of the army. Each soldier receives two such plates and, if damaged in battle, can take more from the warehouse. I do not understand where the stereotypes come from, that Russia cannot produce such plates in large quantities.
The author can be calm, in Russia this video was seen and appreciated.
Could be simple propaganda to make it seem like Russia is not well equipped for conflict.
Stereotype came from consccript videos during the... "event" in Ukraine. The conscripts would either have low tier body armor, no body armor at all or body armor that has been scrapped due to corruption. But it's possible that the problems faced are being overblown or exaggerated due to propaganda.

Internet told me that too

A very impressive plate, I guess the ukrainians should be thankful that the russians cant afford to actually issue them to soldiers. 😂
from what ive seen they have just enough to equip their own soldier but not enough for the DPR and LPR soldiers who make do with soviet era gear
wow your sources must be super-duper lever orange delta 9 hyper crypto clearance. SO just how many plates have been manufactured and issued?
West cope is the hardest cope cuz it has to get through so many levels of self induced delusion.
I don't want to upset you, but these plates have been produced in large quantities for many years.
They do tho
So… head shots for ww3
probably. that or pelvis. or through the armpit.
If you got hit even wearing the plate you’d prolly still die based on how damn hard you got hit concerning the very first rounds fired
Maybe not not maybe. It all depends. If in certified lab environment if the dimple is less than 44mm, you'll in theory survive..
No it can’t because it’s made of plastic and cardboard.
That’s what the internet told me anyways.
I'm not sure exactly, but it seems the US issues their soldiers with better armor. I think the XSAPI plate stopped a M2AP +P+ just fine, meanwhile for this plate it zipped right through. also, doesn't seem like it does a good job at absorbing energy, that deformation looks fatal from those first two shots.
XSAPI is not issued. It was but since then has been taken back into storage. Backface is definitely not fatal on this model..
@@BuffRANGEnot fatal but will it break bones?
@@NDSMD There's always a chance. NIJ says anything in calibrated clay over 44 mm can be fatal. But that's also dependent on body type..
