Class 6 is the highest main class under DSTU 8782:2018: the plate must withstand the 7.62×54R B-32 (7B3-323) armor-piercing bullet from 10 m and all lower-class threats. This class is achieved with ceramic on a polyethylene backing.

Is Ukrainian Armor the same shop as ukrarmor.com.ua?
No. Ukrainian Armor (Українська Броня) is a Ukrainian body armor brand; its official site is ukrainianarmor.com. It is not the ukrarmor.com.ua shop or the “Ukrainian Armored Vehicles” (Ukrainska Bronetekhnika) company — these are different organizations.
