ZhZT-71

ZhZT-71 (romanized from ЖЗТ-71) is a Soviet body armour.

A heavy Soviet body armour vest, designed in the early 70's. It supposedly offers protection against TT-33 bullets, which are notorious for their high penetration power. It is made from the same green artificial material as most Soviet body armour, the armour plates themselves are thick, bent pieces of titanium, with a total weight of 10kg. A rather uncomfortable vest to wear, it has seen some use by the MVD.
