Shield with a chip

Since the end of 2018, the security forces will use shields with a built -in electric shocker. This was stated by the general director of the company-developer "March Group" Ekaterina Stolyarevskaya, Interfax reports.

"Now we are waiting for state tests in the near future, and then this is purely paper work. If everything is fine, we are waiting for the production. There is already an interest. We hope that by the end of 2018 they will already be in service," Stolyarevskaya said. - they became interested (shields. - Ed.) First of all, operational authorities: riot police, units of the Russian Guard, within the framework of the Ministry of Internal Affairs there are also structures that could use such products "

The product was taken as a basis for polycarbonate shield, which is already in the service of the Russian Guard. "Electronics is inserted into the handle, which allows you to transmit electricity, like an ordinary electric shield, to the surface of the shield. The discharge passes on the surface of the shield, this is done in order to be grabbed if the most aggressive enemy should be grabbed," the company's representative said.

Stolyarevskaya assures that the development is intended "not for operational work at some rallies, but more for special operations." She noted that the final decision on the application of shields will be made by the leadership of law enforcement agencies.

In July 2015, Izvestia reported that the internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, now included in Rosgraordia, were supposed to be equipped with shields with electric shockers. The cost of one product is more than 30 thousand rubles. The outer side of the plastic shield is equipped with a conductive ribbon, and with the internal there is a nest for the Air-107U electric shocker. From this nest, electrical impulses are supplied to the tape. The shield also has a rubberized substrate that protects from the shock of the security forces himself.

The stun gun itself, which looks like a club, gives pulses with a voltage of 120 thousand volts. As noted, the Air Tiser electric skiers used by the American police have a voltage of only 50 thousand volts. After 1 second of exposure to the Air-107U shocker, a person will have to come to his senses for 20 minutes.

In addition, the publication wrote, the Russian stun gun is able to shoot conductive harpoons at a distance of 4 and a half meters. Finally, he pierces a layer of clothes with a thickness of almost 2 centimeters.
