    I think the tragic thing in these tests (both helmets and plates) is that nobody ever does 'glancing blows'. AKA not direct/perpendicular shots. even 15-20 deg I'd imagine yields a lot more chance for survival

    Problem with this test is that with each shot the helmet takes it weakens it more and more. If you want a proper test, you need to shoot a new helmet each time you go up in caliber.

    5 years ago, I served a mandatory one-year service in the Russian Army. I had a РАТНИК set (helmet + armor). In general, a very good thing if you take into account the previous versions of armor and helmets. Also included in the helmet of a serviceman is a set of fasteners for the PNV, a tactical flashlight and a radio beacon. I myself did not participate in the fighting, so I can't say how they are showing this kit now in eastern Europe

      Unfortunately the 17HMR uses a pointed bullet and so would not really be appropriate for "in lieu " substitution. Unless you could get it to wildly keyhole from the moment it left the barrel. Similar speeds but different shapes. Non aerodynamic shapes will cause greater injury but may be as little as fifty feet. The 17HMR is quite potent beyond a significant amout more.

    When I did my military service as a Vehicle crewman I remember when they refitted the Infantry with the Ratnik gear. It was popular because of how light it was. In the Russian military, there was always the long-standing sentiment that helmets were for cowards, thus many men used to ditch their heavy helmets and just wear a military cap/ushanka instead. The lightness of the 6b47 made helped change this sentiment.

    This Russian helmet has basically the same level of protection as the older ACH that I was issued. The vast majority of synthetic fiber helmets in the world are basically IIIA. The ECH can stop some rifle rounds because it is made of UHMWPE, a type of polyethylene. It should be able to float as well. I had UHMWPE plates years ago that would float. The downside of UHMWPE plates is they cannot stop steel core/tipped ammunition. That's why ceramic plates are still the most common.

    The guys at the front say it's a really good helmet as far as it's ballistic properties go. It's main drawbacks are its outdated retention system/chin strap combination and the fact that it lacks of PGD rails to mount headphones (the Ratnik system uses headphones that are worn under the helmet).
    The prior can be solved pretty easily with cushion pad and a Team Wendy-esque retention system conversion kit, the latter is a bit of a challenge, so most troops opt to buy earless/semi earless helmets instead.

    the reason they dont use padding is because of RU Mod requirements. when the strapping is properly adjustet the helmet wount touch the head when shot within is protection class ( for example 9x18 ) in theory , you wont have any form of concussion when inside of protection calss while with padding even when surivable some bit of force will transfer to the head ( infact installing padding inside the 6b47 will be more harmfull ). i hope my english was good enough to understand. also dont forget that the helmet is comparatively very light wich was also a requirment.

    There's a lot of real combat examples in Ukraine right now showing these 6B47 Ratnik helmets stopping 5.45 and even 5.56 sometimes. 7.62 usually goes right through it everytime. Theres speculation of 5.45 maybe hitting or going through something before hitting the helmet and that's why it doesn't go through the Ratnik helmet. Believe it or not theres been a couple of Ukraine soldiers that had a 5.45x39 get stopped by a cell phone in his jacket. Which is very surprising since most 5.45 rounds Russia is using is the "PS" steel core ammo. There was another example of a Ukrainian solider actually taking a 30mm BTR round to his plate carrier and the plate carrier actually stopped it somehow... many people think that the 30mm round ricochet off of something before hitting his plate carrier and that's why it didnt just blow him and his plate carrier away. Solider got extremely lucky.
