6b45 Ratnik Body Armor

This is the 6b45 Ratnik Body Armor, the standard body armor of the Russian army today.  Please note that it does not include hard plates because hard plates cannot be exported from Russia. However, it does include soft armor and contains slots to insert plates.

With hard plates, the armor is designed to protect the wearer from small arms rifle calibers such as 7.62x39mm and 5.56 x 45mm.

Important!: Body armor is designed to enhance survivability in combat situations but there is no such thing as "bulletproof" body armor. Even when penetration of a round is prevented, significant and fatal blunt force impact damage can occur. Never rely on body armor for protection from any firearm.

Russia does not use the same body armor certification organizations as the United States. While we offer returns on any item for any reason, as an importer, we cannot guarantee the effectiveness of any body armor unit. Use at your own risk.
