(1)Last year, bulletproof uniforms with poor bulletproof performance were found to have been delivered to our military
(2)The Board of Audit and Inspection said it surveyed some of the 49,000 bulletproof suits delivered to the Army by a military company from March to September last year and estimated that many of them were underperforming
(3)The reason why underperforming body armor was distributed is because they were made separately for passing the test
(4)The Board of Audit and Inspection explained that the company originally manufactured 50 layers of bulletproof materials to make bulletproof suits, but after adding 6 layers only to certain areas, it passed the test by measuring performance
(5)In particular, it was reported that the company manipulated the performance of bulletproof uniforms, but the Defense Technology Promotion Institute under the National Defense Agency was able to pass the test by shooting areas with additional bulletproof materials

(1)The Defense Acquisition Program Administration signed a contract to purchase 56,000 underperformance body armor for 10.778 billion won, of which 49,000 have already been delivered
(2)The Board of Audit and Inspection notified the company to limit its eligibility to participate in the bidding for military payment and demanded that the Korea Technology Institute discipline the two people in charge for neglecting the quality control of bulletproof uniforms
(3)The Board of Audit and Inspection has previously caught the fact that defective body armor was given to soldiers
(4)In 2016, the Board of Audit and Inspection found that Ministry of National Defense officials and former professors of the Korea Military Academy provided 35,000 body armor penetrated by ironclad bombs to front-line and overseas dispatch units at the request of certain companies
Please, we need to make an example of all these things and put them to death
