"Even in a gunfight, we'd just get our asses kicked by the simplest rifles."

Russian soldiers posted a video testing the "unparalleled" bulletproof vest "Module-Monolith," produced by JSC "Special Materials Research Institute" (St. Petersburg). During the experiment, all five bullets penetrated the armor plate completely. The soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction with the quality of the heavy and useless gear: "Just f*cking great. Thank you, Ministry of Defense."

I think it's more like they tested the plate and at best the plate could take three shots when optimally dispersed, in a way that there's would still be a tiny chance that the wearer wouldn't instantly die.

It's more "improve your odds" than "be bullet-proof".

Probably weren't direct shots, but like, at an angle.
