The Body Armor of the War in Ukraine II: Patterns of Wounding and Tactical Evolution

Modern NATO plate carriers, combat helmets, and military medical gear were field‑tested in Iraq and Afghanistan — two theatres dominated by insurgent tactics. There, 65% of wounds were from explosive fragmentation and blast, 23% from gunfire, and the rest due to blunt trauma or other causes such as vehicle accidents.
