Dai mutandoni balistici si intuiva che facevano parte di una operazione heliborne?!

[Anelkiller]

No le due cose non sono necessariamente collegate. Le operazioni heliborne a quanto mi risulta non richiedono attrezzatura particolare.

[ual]

Beh ma i mutandoni nol li usano in heli per i colpi che arrivano dal basso? O vengono usati in qualsiasi operazione terrestre?

[Anelkiller]

No, hanno gli inserti antischeggie/soft armor (altrimenti non sarebbero così "malleabili"), che sono ben diversi dalle piastre sapi. Servono per proteggere dalle mine e dalle ied antiuomo. Anche i vecchi groin protector erano così solo che non fornivano protezione "dal basso" ma solo frontale.

ok capito! grazie!
