The \"Plashta\" armor blanket \u2014 protection that saves lives<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\r\n

Most injuries that soldiers receive at the front are fragmentation ones. They are unpredictable because of the size, shape and even number of fragments, which is why there's a risk of receiving complex and multiple injuries: from through-and-through wounds to fractures of bones in several places at once and damage to internal organs. At the same time, danger exists constantly at the front: in open terrain, at positions, in a vehicle, and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At the request of servicemen, we created the \"Plashta\" armor blanket. Its main advantage is a large area of anti-fragmentation protection at a relatively low weight.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Ways to use the \"Plashta\" armor blanket<\/b><\/h2>\r\n

Since soldiers receive 90% of wounds in war from fragment injuries, the first and main task of the \"Plashta\" armor blanket is protection against fragments. Thanks to its adaptability, it can be used in various situations and for various tasks<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\r\n

    According to user reviews, the \"Plashta\" armor blanket is most often used precisely to protect positions: servicemen cover the entrance to a dugout with it and cover trenches from above, thereby protecting themselves from possible fragments and drops and at the same time reducing their visibility to the enemy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

      No less popular a way of using the \"Plashta\" armor blanket is in unarmored vehicles. The blanket can be positioned both inside the cabin, in particular between the door and the driver, on the passenger seats and near the rear window, and outside, covering the vehicle during shelling. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

        In open areas of terrain, soldiers are most vulnerable to injury. The armor blanket can be used to protect against fragments and to camouflage soldiers while at positions and during movement, as well as to cover the wounded during evacuation from the red zone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

        There are global analogues of the armor blanket, but they are mostly used during demining to cover unidentified objects and devices when there is a threat of detonation. <\/span>
