Re: Armored windscreens?

I don't actually know for sure, but the USSR was very safety conscious, for example using exhaust gases to fill the space in fuel tanks to remove the chance of explosions. It seems reasonable to assume that the flat windscreen was armoured as on other WW2 fighters. What makes you think it was not, and how would you tell from photographs?
