    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

    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. I like your way of thinking though, keep it up!

    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.

    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.

    Can understand the way they are thinking when it comes to this helmet, probably cheaper and easier to make(can equip more soldiers with it), stops small artillery/grenade fragments which most likely causing most of the damage in the current war.

      I doubt it is very cheap to make, considering the kevlar used in it.
      All metal helmets are most likely much cheaper, faster and easier to make for the Russians, but they quickly get heavy if you want decent protection.
      The main advantage this helmet has, is the weight.
      If you are in a situation where you need to wear a helmet for hours, day after day, and the chances for heavy artillery hitting you is rather small, then this helmet is perfect.

    A much better design to safe guard (hopefully) against a deformation kill is to have a thinner secondary skull wrap that is fitted on the head straps on the inside of the helmet (between the head and inside of the helmet. This could possibly prevent the sharpest deformations from hitting the skull directly.

    Most of the battles are at distances of 100 to 150 to 200 meters.
    In urban battles it can be barely 50-90 meters and the elevations of high-rise buildings. The main striking factor goes to the body and limbs. The head is rarely hit, unless of course you are a target for a sniper.
    And finally, artillery and drones don't care what protection class you are wearing.

    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.
