What is the real cost of protection, mobility, and battlefield effectiveness? We break down the full setup: weapons and optics, body armor and helmet, communications, medical kit, ammunition load, and the total weight of the equipment. How does the loadout change depending on the mission, and why are backup solutions critical in combat?
This episode tests our journalists’ own protective gear—body armor, helmets, and visibility in the field. We show how it performs under real conditions and what risks remain when working on the front line.
