This can only happen in the movies
The certificate saved the border guard’s life
On the northern outskirts of Vovchansk, a border soldier on the pseudo “Tikhon” received numerous injuries in close combat with Muscovites.
Brothers immediately evacuated the defender from the battlefield and took him to the hospital.
Several bullets went through, breaking the bones of both legs, and one that could have been fatal, but the bullet was stopped by the ID of a serviceman of the DPS of Ukraine.
Conclusion - the certificate should always be carried with you.
I have a new respect for medieval leather armor now.

Ceramics work by redirecting the energy of a bullet into shattering the plate rather than penetrating the vest further. This allows a plate to absorb energy across its entire surface rather than just at the point of impact, but at the cost of only working once.

IIRC, they were designed to be an alternative to metal plates for plate carriers. So the same size as the metal plates, but lighter in weight. Since they shatter, they need to be easy to replace in a vest, and I would imagine that they’re probably fitted over a Kevlar jacket.
That’s accurate. A buddy of mine was wearing ceramic plates in his carrier in Afghanistan and was shot at close range with an AK47. First and second round shattered the ceramic, second went through the kevlar, but not much more. Third and fourth rounds went right through his abdomen.
Even leather ID holders are, like the Ukrainian people’s will, made of steel
Prolly a ricochet, not traveling at full speed.
Still, that’s impressive
Fuckin epic!
