This invention refers to the high military boot which on it's front side of the shaft has built (installed) steel protection, aerodynamic—“V” armor for protecting soldiers legs from bullets and shrapnels coming frontal towards soldier.
Today's military boots have no armor or protection that could protect soldiers legs from feet to lower legs from bullets and shrapnels coming frontal towards soldier. With today's military boots there are high possibilities of injuries and gunshot wounds of lower legs from bullets and shrapnels.
My boot which has installed steel armor is impossible to compare with today's military boot which does not have this kind of steel armor protection. Metal armor was worn by Ancient Romans and Greeks, also in middle Ages by knights, but this armor was oval shaped and my armor is pointed shape which is installed on the boot aerodynamic shape of letter “V”. Every pointed object in practice or in physics that hits the flat surface under a blunt corner, it just slips beside it. In the case when the pointed object hits at the right angles, it just breaks through or it stays inside of a target. In my case the bullet or shrapnel hits the armor under a blunt corner and just slips beside it with no wounds for soldier.
Primary objective of the invention is to protect soldiers legs from feet to lower legs which are in danger of bullets and shrapnels coming towards the soldier (gunshot wounds).
Secondary objective of the invention is to reduce the number of wounded soldiers, potential disabled persons and in generally to reduce as much as possible health cost in military.
Further objective of the invention is to bring new technology to the world and economy growth. This is a vision of the military boot for next fifty years.
Further quests and goals of the invention will be presented in descriptions, and specifically you will see the functionality of the invention when you use it and try it in practice.
This military boot is the ordinary boot on which I installed a thin layer of steel armor on front side of shaft. The armor is attached with rivets on the boot. The steel armor is designed in shape of letter “V” and it's also longitudinal shape. The steel armor on it's front side has vertical sharp angle followed by two surfaces. The boot is designed so that the soldier can walk, run, lie down and kneel on one leg. The bullet or shrapnel will not wound the soldier when he wears this sharp—aerodynamic “V” armor. This is a simple physics law that says that a bullet will slip when it hits a target laterally (under 10-40 degrees) in hard surface, and when a sharp object hits a target under 90 degrees, then it breaks through or it stays in it's depth.
The accompanying drawings that are included in the description and which form part of the description of the invention, illustrate the unknown so far and unknown way for making the invention and help in explaining the basic principles of the invention.

Pic. 6 Imagined bullet that comes from frontal side of the boot, it hits the steel armor under sharp angle and slips behind the soldier (bird's view).
Now you will see the particulars of this presented realization of the invention, which you can also see illustratet.
Looking at the pictures 1 and 2, you can see that the boot with armor includes standard high boot 14, which has mounted steel armor 10. Boot with armor, pictures 1,2,5 and 6 is a whole product and it cannot be separated. High military boot with armor is a product for military industry and for protection of soldiers lower legs from frontal coming bullets and shrapnels (sl. 6). Steel armor 10 which is mounted on the boot 14 is on picture 3 (spatial appearance) and picture 4 (side view). Steel armor 10 pictures 2,3,5 and 6 is kinked pointed steel surface from one part. Steel armor 10 has left surface 20 and right surface 19 from pictures 2,3,5 and 6. Steel armor 10 has holes 12 from pictures 3 and 4 through which the rivets latern turn 13 for mounting on the boot.
Steel armor 10 is a kinked surface from 45 degrees, pictures 3 and 5. Picture 5 shows bird's view of the boot with steel armor on which you can see upper edge of the armor and it's angle 18. Picture 6 is from bird's view and it projects imagined line 17 and bullet 16 which slides along left surface 20 and goes behind the boot.
This 6 pictures and it's details show us how simple, understandable and practical this invention is.
This invention is practical, useful and economical device for suzbijanje suppression of soldiers lower legs. It is impossible to compare this invention to any other because there is none that is related or is similar to my military boot.
Engineers could make some changes to the final product, without leaving the scope and the heart of the invention.
