🇷🇺 On low-quality body armor and helmets for the mobilized, part 2

In response to our post about the low-quality products from NPO Spetsmaterialy (Modul-Monolit body armor and Kolpak-20 protective helmets), a representative of the manufacturing company came to our feedback bot.

The situation turned out to be not so simple.

🔻We publish the letter as is:

🔻 In light of the current conflicting situation we decided to give additional clarification on what is happening.

Here we are talking about active duty servicemen who are defending the borders of our Motherland in Kherson. In this dispute we are guided exclusively by interests of the servicemen who have genuine concern for their own lives.

We are in constant contact with representatives of both the Russian Armed Forces and Rosgvardia, who have tested these products in action. We do not rule out that some of the products were damaged as a result of manufacturing disruption, storage and transport conditions.

Our sources in the Republic of Crimea claim that, regarding the quality of the purchased body armor and helmets, there has already been an appeal to Republic Head Aksyonov. There was a test firing on a particular batch in Perevalny - tentatively, the vests passed the tests.

Now the concerned veterans are waiting for documents from the manufacturer regarding factory tests of the equipment received by the mobilized party.

🔻 In order both to dispel servicemen's fears and smooth the conflicting situation, we offer interested persons from "NPO Spetsmaterialy" JSC to go to the positions in Kherson region, where the mobilized from Crimea now are, bringing spare test kits.

In this case, there is nothing to prevent the representatives of the manufacturing company from conducting such an action, shooting off the issued uniforms in the presence of the mobilized.

🔻 We, for our part, are ready to report on this in order to dispel all possible fears.
