On the battlefield, it is essential to protect the lives of soldiers. As weapons continue to advance, so do protective measures. Body armor is mainly used to protect against the injury of warheads or shrapnel to the human body. On the battlefield, soldiers face a variety of threats, among which bullets and explosive fragments are the main source of damage.
Through its special structure and materials, body armor can effectively block or slow down the damage of these threats to soldiers, thereby improving the survivability of soldiers on the battlefield. And China's self-developed body armor has won a high reputation around the world.
Speaking of the prestige of China's body armor, we have to mention the actual combat test that shocked the whole world. During the 2003 Iraq War, a United Kingdom soldier wearing Chinese-made body armor was on a mission when he was attacked by the enemy. Incredibly, despite being shot 12 times in a row, he miraculously came out unscathed. This incident not only surprised the British army, but also made Chinese body armor internationally famous.
At that time, this British squad was patrolling normally, but it was already surrounded by militants. The opposing side was outnumbered, and after a fierce battle, the British army fell to the upper hand. One of the British soldiers was unfortunately strafed by the enemy when he broke through and fell down after being shot 12 times.
Fortunately, the support troops arrived in time, and the British army was able to break through. Just when everyone was grieving the death of the soldier who was shot, he suddenly woke up, like no one. Later, after a military doctor's examination, the soldier was not injured, but fainted because the impact was too strong, and it was the Chinese body armor he was wearing that saved his life.
After the incident was reported, it caused an instant sensation. In the face of such an amazing bulletproof effect, some foreign media began to question whether the body armor has a heavy steel plate hidden inside to enhance the protective ability. Otherwise, how can it be possible to block so many bullets, you know, today's bullets can easily penetrate even 3 mm steel plates, not to mention the penetration of 12 bullets, how can people be okay under such a huge impact?
However, when the experts dismantled the body armor, the truth was revealed to the world in an instant, and the media present were stunned. The body armor does not have any steel plates inside, but a special material - bulletproof ceramic.
With its ultra-high toughness and strength, bulletproof ceramics effectively resist the penetration of bullets. At the same time, in order to further improve the comfort of the body armor and reduce the impact of the bullet, the interior is also cleverly made of carbon fiber material. This special design not only provides superior protection, but also ensures the flexibility and comfort of soldiers on the battlefield.
It is worth mentioning that during the research and development process, China also rigorously tested body armor using armor-piercing shells. This kind of ammunition that can penetrate the armor of the tank cannot break the defense of this body armor, which shows its strong protective ability. Compared with the body armor of other countries, made in China not only has a good bulletproof effect, but also is light and comfortable. It greatly improves the combat flexibility of soldiers.
With these thoughtful considerations, combined with a low price, it's no surprise that our body armor is being adopted by countries. Today, we account for 70% of the global body armor market. The United Kingdom Army is one of our big customers, with 80% of its protective equipment made in China. It can be seen that China's strength in the field of military industry is a strong proof of the quality of China's manufacturing.
