The demand for quality armor grows along with the development of the defense sector and the appearance of new types of weapons. At the same time, because of the increase in the kinds and types of body armor, it's becoming harder to choose truly quality equipment. The key element of any body armor is the armor plates, which provide a high level of protection. However, there are different types of armor plates, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. General characteristics of armor plates. Armor plates are used with body armor and plate carriers to provide a high level of protection. The protection class is determined during ballistic testing by firing at the plates with...

The "Plashta" armor blanket — protection that saves lives. Most injuries that soldiers receive at the front are fragmentation ones. They are unpredictable because of the size, shape and even number of fragments, which is why there's a risk of receiving complex and multiple injuries: from through-and-through wounds to fractures of bones in several places at once and damage to internal organs. At the same time, danger exists constantly at the front: in open terrain, at positions, in a vehicle, and so on. At the request of servicemen, we created the "Plashta" armor blanket. Its main advantage is a large area of anti-fragmentation protection at a relatively low weight. ...

The protection class (level) of modern military helmets is NIJ 0106.01 IIIA. This is an international standard that corresponds to Level 1 protection under the State Standard of Ukraine (DSTU). The anti-fragmentation resistance indicators of such helmets in the overwhelming majority of cases correspond to the level of the fragmentation threat in wartime conditions. Helmets are also able to protect against 9×18 mm PM/APS 57-N-181S and 9×19 mm FMJ RN SC Luger/Parabellum pistol bullets. Modern military helmets usually weigh about 1.5 kg. Let's focus on their three main types — all of them are presented in our line: PASGT...

From the very beginning, the Russian-Ukrainian war revealed for us not only threats and challenges but also, in a certain sense, became a booster of development. The gradual buildup of the army significantly affected the state's level of readiness for the full-scale invasion by russia: our defense potential today is radically different from the capabilities of 2014. However, this war has once again demonstrated the necessity for Ukraine to form its own instruments for guaranteeing its security. Ukraine's defense forces have already repeatedly demonstrated their skill — in the air, on land and on water. However, a crucial condition for realizing the potential of our...

Friends, from now on, when buying body armor and military gear on our website and in the network of Ukrainian Armor stores, you can use the "Pay in Parts" service from monobank. The amount of your order in this case will be divided into 4 parts, which you'll be able to pay over 3 months (or faster if you wish) without any commission — we took it on ourselves. You'll also have the opportunity to independently extend the installment period for your order in the monobank app — in this case the bank will charge a commission for the additional...

The reason is the types of injuries. Most wounds in a combat zone are fragmentation (shrapnel) ones. Injuries from them are often unpredictable due to their size, shape and uneven edges. Therefore, besides protecting the chest area, it's worth remembering the importance of safeguarding other areas of the body too, where vital organs, tendons and arteries are located. What solution do we offer? With this in mind, at one time we developed the FAS™ anti-fragmentation armor suit with DSTU Level 2 soft ballistic protection. For comparison: the total area of body protection in...

Helmet sizes differ depending on their purpose, the specific model, and also — the manufacturer. Letter markings (for example, size M, L or XL) on other types of helmets, such as a sports or construction helmet, don't mean that these same sizes will be identical for a military helmet. That's exactly why, when choosing a military helmet for yourself, you need to start not from the letter marking on it or in the description, but instead to be guided by the numerical range of head circumference in centimeters. This way you'll be sure that a specific helmet model of a specific...

The purpose of an armor plate is to protect the area of vital organs: the heart, lungs, liver. To ensure this, body armor must be chosen for each person individually by size, like clothing. Essentially, for body armor, in particular plates, size matters even more than for clothing. After all, here it's about a person's safety. We all have different heights and builds. So it's natural that the protected area for each of us will be different. Accordingly, armor plates, for example, for a burly assault soldier and a petite artillerywoman cannot be the same size....
