It’s scary to me that the daily casualty rate just keeps rising.

Definitely a grinding war…

That’s probably exactly what I was thinking of.

I mostly see them in US media, and they always seem so thick. But then again, the Russian vest doesn’t, so I guess they’re for different uses.

Interesting, I learnt something new today.

Seems delightfully medieval as a solution. What does the Kevlar do? Mostly anti-spalling?

Maybe I just don’t know how bulletproof vests work, but shouldn’t there be some layers of energy dispersing material on top of that plate?

Is it a fair comparison without?

Dozens!

That’s almost an hour of soldiers at the current casualty rate
