That's why any modern armored vests have additional layers behind their ceramic or metal plates to deal with spalling and/or blunt trauma..

Yes, depending on the quality of the material. It's been the bane of metal armor. The force from the impact can break off fragments from the inner surface.
Actually they can protect against richocets of the bullets and even smaller bullets from pistols, and stuff.
Hell, the ACH can protect very well and that has been around for the majority if the mid to late 2000s to now.

A total creep
Took a look at the text - quite interesting. I'm curious if this surprisingly good protection against overhead blast effects might not be due to some effect of the mentioned crest/comb, but the ventilation hole underneath it? Maybe that does something scientific to the overpressure wave?
You can see that the comb is raised, with a void underneath:
BTW - woke choice of photo in the linked text?

Wasn't aware of the void, but yes, it might be that. I assume it would work somewhat like torpedo protection system or spaced armor. It would definitely affect the wave, though I can't say in what way exactly.
Yeah, just saw it.

If Russia seizing the Donbass back in 2014 would have prevented this current war, then I would have been all in favor of this:
news.yahoo.com
Would have ensured that the rest of Ukraine would be pro-Western while having thousands of people or more still be alive. And the Donbass wouldn't have had a Transnistria-like status for eight years.
Of course, Putin could have annexed the Donbass in late February of this year instead of invading all of Ukraine, but he regrettably chose not to and to instead go for the bolder, more riskier, and more deadly option.
Putin says he should have seized Donbas in 2014
Russia should have gone for a complete conquest and annexation of Donbas back in 2014, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin said during a staged meeting with “mothers of Russian soldiers” on Nov. 25.

Well it would certainly be better for him than the current risk of losing the whole war...If Russia seizing the Donbass back in 2014 would have prevented this current war, then I would have been all in favor of this:

But he wasn't thinking of that, and since 2014 had his eyes on the big prize, all of Ukraine, to control through a militant separatist proxy getting a veto over what the central government does.
Though doing it in 2014 may have saved Russia the PR disaster in form of 8 years of warlord rule with all the implications over the people Russia supposedly cares about and wants to protect.

Yes, he wanted the Donbass as a tool for controlling all of Ukraine, as you said, but Ukraine was never actually going to agree to that, so the choices after eight years were either giving up on this goal (+/- annexing the Donbass) or outright invading all of Ukraine, which Putin ultimately chose to do.
Dunno if it was better - but,certainly look better then other helmets.And,since it was made by french,it was more sexy,too!@Aldarion Found it!!!!!1111

You kinda know you're losing the war when you're arguing about this rather than battles won and territory gained.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
Four Lion Cubs were born during the War in a breeding facility in Ukraine and orphaned due to the ongoing events. Animal Welfare organizations managed to evacuate them from the country and after a stint being cared for at the Poznan Zoo in Poland, they were brought to the magical land across the sea known as Minnesota to a Wildcat Sanctuary.

Ranging between four and five months years old, they are apparently too young for service in the AFU so it seems unlikely they will return to defend the country of their birth.

European Commission explains its mistake regarding allegedly 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers killed
The European Commission admitted the mistake regarding the figures of the losses of the Ukrainian military, which allegedly amounted to 100,000 people killed, as Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the European Commission, announced on 30 November.
So the new official claim is 100k Ukrainian soldiers *dead or injured*, and "over 20k" civilians likewise.
