No armour caused soldier's death

[Patriarch of Constantinople]

Friendly fire, from 20m. He would not have been looking to take cover from it - it was his from his own unit. The tank was aiming at the "bad guys", but apparently its machine gun is inaccurate at short range - a fact apparently not communicated to the machinegunner.

im not an expert on british armour but if a man was shot with a 7.62 × 51 mm NATO bullet at close range with Enhanced Body Armour gave him a chance at living right?

From the source I quoted, it's the ceramic plates that would give him a chance. Must be pretty strong plates.
