Why is he wearing full body armour and helmet which makes for a very awkward salute during what is quite clearly a parade.

It looks cooler and more intimidating than just a guy wearing a dress uniform. Not saying dress uniforms aren’t fire I could just see how eastern militaries would rather be represented by heavily kitted out troops than guys in suits.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they have like parade body armour that isn't the real deal.to make it more manageable.

Gotta show off that they do, in fact, have body armor more modern than Soviet 6B5s. What they don’t tell you is it’s made in China and only issued for parades

I have one, but mine is a plate carrier for the airborne units, quality of the material is good, but the stitching is mid, if compared to the Chinese airsoft plate carriers, made localy, at least that's what the label says, velcro/hook and loop is shit and, the small hooks DETACH every time you pull it away from the loops, leaving a mess where you put the plate carrier on, no quick release
