The Army is retiring a quarter billion worth of vests halfway through their service life. They’re going to be shot through
The head of the army’s equipment service, General Robert Bielený, has ordered soldiers to immediately withdraw their 2020 VOBU ballistic vests, because regular durability tests have shown that they do not protect as well as they should. The bullet passed through the entire vest tested, which is only halfway through its service life. The army paid 255 million for the vests.
