from the point of view of a ukrainian infantryman walking around right now with some newly issued 556 NATO stuff it might be interesting to see how many russians are really wearing the equivalent of class 4 plates/carrier, and how many are not wearing plates at all, or some lesser capability.

in some of the DIY-drone-strike footage I've seen recently it appears that the russians are wearing no plates at all.

Level 3 grade plates can't defeat 5.45 so it's moot anyways.

I think you're thinking of IIIA, which is only rated to stop pistol/shotgun calibers. NIJ level III plates will stop 7.62x51.
