Below are a few of the recorded instances where LIBA armor saved lives:
This personal body armor vest panel was used in a fire fight in the Samaria Region during an operation against terrorists in Nablus in the Summer of 2002. The soldier was able to return only with small bruises on his chest. Notice the multi-hit capability of the LIBA body armor.
This armored jeep was involved in a fierce ambush and firefight against terrorists in Hebron suffering many casualties. After most of the army officers were killed or wounded the head of security of the Jewish community in Hebron made a daring attempt at evacuating wounded fighters using a civilian LIBA armored patrol jeep (Land Rover).
As can be seen the jeep received more than a hundred hits from various calibers without any penetration.
In the left photo you can see that the projectiles were not able to penetrate the surface layer of the LIBA armor.
There were numerous non-recorded instances of this type where Liba armor saved lives. Many of the instances are still classified by the security and military authorities. Many other instances happened to civilians that were not made public.
This is a Stryker armored vehicle in use by the US Army in Iraq and Afghanistan. The LIBA armor is one of the main components protecting these vehicles and helping to save lives.
