Russians love shields and use them all the time. Why aren't they more common in the west for room clearing and storming buildings?
Shields
Gavin Scott
Leo Harris
The West aren't cowards.
John Allen
Because the life of the goyim is cheaper than training and military equipment.

What do you mean? The French uses shields as well.
Aiden Foster
Well, Russians also wear Altyn helmets soo...
Jaxon Allen
In terms of what? For domestic CT work they do use them, for MENA counter insurgency shit the west tend not to choreograph their approach and work at night, so they dont have to worry so much about walking into a hail of AK fire when they breach the door.
Jayden Gray
So don't want to die is be cowards?
Xavier Diaz
For shit like Fallujah where they had to kick in doors daily and couldn't autistically plan a SWAT operation for every building
Nathan Williams
SWAT can't get away with tossing an HE into a room before you clear it
Mason Hill
Could they do that all the time with their ROE though? Maybe not Fallujah specifically, but in areas where there are still civilians around and you're not sure who's who
