The removable front panel can be conected to the non-removable panel (2) with shoulder belts (4), that guarante the panel's (3) correct position with respect to panels (1) and (2) a nd after transition to working position:

The position of the fixation point of the shoulder belts (4) to the panel (3) can be altered by the jumper (6):

For close fight, troops landing etc for improved rigidity of the removable panel's junction with the non-removable panel additional locks (7) with remote unlocking (8) can be used:

The removable panel (3) can be equipped with windows (9) with armoured shuts (10) to make looking or shooting possible when lying on the ground:

Between panels (2) and (3) there can be an airbag, that will work as a damper or a float when swimming. After switching from close front fight to manouver fight the air from the airbag (11) can be released through valve (12). Elastic band (13) provides continually correct position of panel (3):

Front panel can be folded twice, providing improved protection in critical situations:

It is possible to manufacture a vest with only partiallu removable panel (i.e. only a part of the panel can be removable:

Front panel (3) can be equipped with a support (16) for fixation in vertical position:

This invention solves the following problem: when lying on the ground, a soldier cannot effectively protect himself from bullets, whereas he lies on completely useless armour. To eliminate this, it is suggesed to make the vest's front panel removable.

This system, unlike al the other bullet-proof vest systems, can completely protect the soldier from granade splinters -- the soldier falls on the ground and puts the removable armoured panel in front of him.
