Typo, meant to say 7N10 here. 7N24 even in its base form with poor penetrator geometry would probably be too much for the Armox layer and UHMWPE to handle. Pic rel is a LIBA plate so you can get a gist of how the layup is. Each white spot is a ceramic pellet. A Russian company called "Bison Vest" sold or maybe still sells LIBA plates. Their website hasn't been updated since 2009 so the jury is out on that one. https://www.bisonvest.com/materials.php
I'm curious as to why Chinese firms with patents on TiB2-SiC ceramic, like Shandong Yasai, haven't licensed the ceramic to Russian companies. It would give an excellent boost.

>ceramics are out
I'm gonna acktshually you bro. LIBA plates from Tencate are technically repairable if you replace the ceramic pellets and there's no significant damage to the PE backer.
Otherwise though you're completely right. Where bespoke armor would come into play is with extremely high-end, low areal density custom-fit panels and covert plates. Think the rumored all-PE ultralight version of the VelSys PULV but made to fit a client perfectly in a bespoke carrier sized to their exact dimensions, with the plate made of the very finest Spectra 6000 or whatever so it's even lighter.
Like it or not if you wanna barge into executive protection armor you need to pack some inserts too. Tobias Rieper ain't rolling up in a $5,000 carrier stuffed with Highcum 4SUS4s, man.
