But surprisingly, a recent SMPP report showed that half of the materials for the body armor were imported from China, including the most critical composite fabric and boron carbide ceramic powder.

Indian army soldiers deployed along the border.Only the status quo of old-style body armor makes them look ridiculous.

Of course, even with the "made in India" label, the samples SMPP submitted for the Indian army's bulletproof vest competition were made from us and European materials.But after receiving an order for 180,000 body armor suits, SMPP quietly switched to four Chinese companies for the bulk batch.

From a business point of view, SMPP's move inevitably has the suspicion of fraud, but SMPP's external director always insisted that the use of Chinese raw materials in the quality and performance of bulletproof jackets, but the cost is lower...

The picture shows several types of Indian body armor, among which Chinese raw materials are used.

In fact, the aura of "made in India" is essential for SMPP's body armor to stand out from as many as 10 competitors: five of the other nine competitors are clearly labeled with Chinese materials."Made in India" is no less important than "made in China" -- in other words, Indian body armor is made from European and American raw materials.The use of Chinese raw materials is an indirect admission that made in India is a cosmetic joke and a direct blow to India's fragile pride.

Pictured here is a chinese-made bulletproof panel that withstood AK and even mohinnagan point-blank in the test video.

But no matter how fragile the Indian "glass heart" is, it still cannot change the fact that body armor industry: according to incomplete statistics, body armor made in China, using Chinese bulletproof ceramic plug board, and using Chinese ceramic raw material has accounted for nearly 90% of the body armor market.Even regular American and European military and defense contractors fighting in places like Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan have a penchant for Chinese products.

The picture shows American soldiers joining Chinese bulletproof panels for body armor at the front.

As for why "have a special interest in", the reason is also very simple: Chinese made ceramic body armor/plug board can complete the user's urgent need of "defense full-caliber bullets shot at close range" in less than $200, the whole body can be changed into "invulnerability" for up to $2,000;By contrast, western-made ceramic body armor panels can cost more than $500 for the same protective properties, a crucial difference in price that makes Chinese products unlikely to be unpopular.

The picture shows the old type of bulletproof vest made by tata, India. The blue board is 10 mm thick bulletproof steel.

Behind the decisive difference in prices lies China's in-depth research on boron carbide, alumina, silicon carbide and even kevlar ceramic materials over the years, so that private enterprises that are not restricted by technical secrecy and have a large gap in the overall technical level of their products compared with self-used ones have the power to fight in the international market.

To be sure, the "war on terror" between Europe and the us in places such as Afghanistan and Iraq has also played a part in the process of these private enterprises going abroad.But, the product that insert board flak jacket this is a western initiative by Chinese each private enterprise "come from behind catch up with", even India also has to "see The Times", this also is enough to prove what call "good wine does not need an alley deep", the product is excellent still is hard truth after all.
