First let correct you since you are basically arguing with the
wrong information. So far in the world Body Armour classification -
is I, II , IIIA, III & IV only .... I am not sure how you get
mislead to think that Dragon skin is class V ?
As for you so call dragon skin ? The armor is available in two
basic protection levels: SOV-2000, which was certified as Level III
protection (this certification was withdrawn, and Pinnacle is suing
to force the NIJ to reinstate on the basis of its own private
retesting[2][3]) and SOV-3000, which is advertised as Level IV but
has not yet been certified as such.[3] Pinnacle Armor's website
also identifies a "Level V" variant, which does not correspond to
any body armor standard and is not available to the general public
.
Hello III level certification withdrawn ? level IV not certified
, then so call level V - does not correspond to and body armour
standard ? - a lot of questionable on how effective dragon skin is
?
Dragon Skin is good - that is as far as the company keep telling
everyone. If it is that great every military will be running to get
it, if not frankly there is alternative in the market. Just because
we not jumping to get dragon skin - does not mean we getting
anything inferior.
We also must get a balance of armour protection and mobility of
the soldier ! Of course higher level IV is better in protection but
make the soldier less mobile.
As for SGTY is saying, BA is good, should have gotten earlier ?
That i already answer in my eariler post - i disagree and i think
the timing is just right. Just because you and T-rex cannot accept
other people view and blindly just follow manufactorer claims
!!!
no issues. i dont know BA that well.
the future weapons claim of level 5 armour was from the
manufacturer itself. no contest.
but i never meant that i disagree with you. i m just saying your
point is not clear. dragonskin is Not your usual IIIA armour. it
works a helluva lot better than that. so why compare a class IIIA
body armour with your dragonskin ? and SAF waiting for "better"
technology before buying ?
might as well save up our billions we spend on defence and wait
for them to design a gundamn suit. so we can rule the universe by
then. its the usual procurement strategy as get what you need as
you see fit. we have had BA for a long long long time. its just not
SOP for every unit to be issued with it.
hell. if you'd like to know, our tankies use STK/CIS made level
III armour. tell me. how good is that ? our infantry use israeli
made BA (prior to the decision for mass procurement) but also level
3A (comes even with neck collar and groin guard. pretty good piece
of kit i say)
i dont have an issue with what you are saying. my point is, what
are you trying to say ? its not about content. its about what point
are you making ?
