The B6/B7 resistance level applies to vehicles that basically meet the requirements for B6 (7.62x51 caliber rifle bullets), but are more strongly armored in particularly exposed areas, so that, in accordance with B7 standards, they can withstand even armor-piercing hard-core shells of the same caliber.
