In the 1983, in Basic, we were shown a Soviet body armor vest that was basically canvas with fiberglass-stiffened cotton with additional pockets for additional fiberglass/cotton or plates. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get more than a cursory look at it. The "Soviet" advisor teaching us said it was captured in Angola a few years before that.
(I say "Soviet" because I don't believe he was really Soviet.)
