Russia has begun using highly lethal tungsten bullets in Ukraine. They are lethal because their weight and hardness means they shoot straight through regular bullet proof wests.
But fortunately, Danish company Scandic Defence has developed a new tungsten bullet proof, ceramic plate to replace the plates in regular bullet proof wests, and now the first 50,000 plates have been shipped to Ukraine.

Ved fronten løber Ukraine ind i et stigende problem: Russerne skyder lige igennem de skudsikre veste
I tæt samarbejde med det ukrainske forsvar har dansk firma opfundet en ny plade, der kan stoppe projektilerne.

@randahl Just for the record, "wolfram" is the old name for tungsten.

@randahl that’s an expensive bullet. Do they machine the bullet? The melting of tungsten (for casting) requires notoriously high temperatures.

@randahl Go Denmark. Good for them.
Putin is losing if he resorts to this kind of even uglier crap.

@wolf thank you. Now updated.

@randahl If they use tungsten sphere like the ones available for American Himars, then then a bullet proof vest will not much as the air will be saturated with these spheres. So everything else is hit anyway.

Agree. Costly consumables are not compatible with high quantities.
Looks rather like something specialised such as sniper ammo.
