We also ahve a Level 4 and a Level 5 Armor (Classified)
The performance is 15-20 years ahead of the curve.

I have to say, I was rather impressed with that Dragonskin body armor. I DO have to wonder what kind of percussive injuries a person would suffer from falling on a grenade. The article didn't address that issue.

very little would be the answer to that.
There is a soldier that was in a direct attack from a 157mm shell - 15 ft from his hummer...
5 guys in his vehicle wearing Interceptor Body armor - 1 wearing Dragon Skin (he was the closest to the blast.)
He lived - they took 2 lbs of steel out of his vest... Everyone else was unfortunately killed.
This young Marine is alive and well - with no injury other than some hearing loss in one ear...
G-D Bless the MARINES...
I spoke to his mother - she was more than grateful for her son Disobeying the SOUM and wearing his Dragon Skin....
She happens to work with my father.
