PLA's Body Armor

Maybe its cheaper? I thought China hated the U.S., so why would they sell us their armor? :confused:

China doesn't hate US. US hates China! US is the one refusing to sell military technology and weapons to China, not the other way around!

i dont thinnk flak jakets are quite pratical anymore. they were only used by bombadeers and and paratroops in ww2 to protect agaisnt the 88 flak. now they just shoot a missle.

a ballistics vests is a bulllet stopper. the romans actually had the first, for there plates could block a shot from their own scorpions.

Don't seem that you know what's a flak jacket... You're right, the ballistic protection vest is the kelvar or spider silk vest that police and army used for protection against bullet. The flak jacket is still used, it's supposed to protected the soldiers from grenade's and artillery shell's frag

To Fried, the Roman armor was for everybody, from the simple legionnary to the elite preatorian and horseman

dammit!!! all squiggles and lines on my computer!!!

As for flack jackets I read this story about this redneck who just had to test this armor out and shot himself with a 20 gauge shotgun. You be the judge of what happened.

As for tacticians back in Washington there job is to win the war, without personal feelings get in the way. If it does he/she can get less courageous and may miss some critical times where a great victory can be achieved with some losses. every soldier knows that when you engage an eenmy your bound to lose something or someone.

the army is getting priority funding this 5 years. that means they will have the money to buy guardian gods. $500 a piece? cheap. you can equip a division with just $50,000.

china should not sell the armor or any other of their tech that the us may want.

how do you do your math midleader?? there are more than 100 people in a division. chinese divisions have usually over 10 000 men. that's $5 000 000 to equip a whole division with armor. some divisions have more men. also a single division is not considered very big in a major war, a lot of battles are done with several armies. that's going to cost a lot to equip with armor.

Wow, I heard so much talk between Chinese body armors and US body armors. I heard that some elements of PLA special force and the PLAN Marine corp infantry divisions are testing some form of bullet-proof steel-like facial mask. I will back up this statement with a decent picture ASAP.
