The Ministry of Defense has begun testing special modular body armor for the needs of the Navy and Engineering Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The peculiarity of this body armor is that upon contact with water, a special module reacts and the body armor acts as a life-saving one. The defense department reported this on March 2.
According to Deputy Minister of Defense Vitaly Polovenko, the department received a request to develop such a special module for body armor that can save a fighter on the water. This module is being developed by the Central Directorate for the Development of Material Support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Both foreign and domestic developers were involved in its creation.
It is noted that such modules can be used on all approved models of body armor of the Defense Forces. Several samples of such “floating body armor” have already been submitted for testing.
Let us recall that in January the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine certified the second domestic model of body armor, designed specifically for women. The protective properties of the body armor are similar to men’s models; the weight of the model is from 10.5 kg and depends on the configuration.
