Instead, the Ukrainian soldier merely punches the helmet with his fist and it caves in, demonstrating that it not only offers zero protection from projectiles, but bumps as well. The Ukrainian soldier is a real showman, and switches from punches to head butts as he continues to destroy the helmet with little effort. Russian soldiers are being sent into battle with helmets that are less capable than airsoft replicas bought off Amazon. It is essentially a brittle papier-mâché head ornament. If the Russian’s recent invasion into Ukraine taught us anything, it is that their military modernization program they’ve been hyping for the last decade has been a lie.
