Kora-10E, with UMTBS/MOLLE straps over the external plate sleeve. OD cover
A 4th generation SRChP domestic vest designed by the "Molot" factory, it is modified to use proprietary front plates, or ones from 6B13 and 6B23 protective vests. it's intended to be entered in the Army's 2010 equipment trials as a competitor for personal equipment, and is available for procurement by foreign countries. Compared to other SRChP vests, it lacks integrated equipment pouches, along with improved fastening straps. As a result, the vest is less likely to snag, and modular due to the assorted equipment vests or MOLLE pouches available. It has adjustable belt loops to accommodate extra belt equipment.
The Kora-10B is a modular protective vest, with the base protection just being the cover providing NIJ level III-A protection. With the Titanium plates inserted into the internal vest sleeve, protection is increased to Level III+III-A. Furthermore, with the ceramic plate addition to the attaching plate carrier, the vest is Level-IV+III+III-A. While it provides exceptional protection, the vest when completed weighs close to 11kg.
The vest utilizes Tungsten Disulfide plates, providing NIJ Level IV protection providing single hit protection from .30-06 AP, and at least single hit protection from other armor piercing cartridges. Available upon request is attaching side plate pockets and upper arm protectors to provide additional protection. The cover is available in most patterns, and by default in VSR-93. Required pattern should be stated with order to receive non-VSR covers.
