WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

Vehicles without special protection face numerous dangers while performing tasks in a risk zone. Among the main threats are fragments from mines, drops and FPV-drone attacks.

This creates additional risks for drivers and passengers, particularly for teams involved in evacuations or carrying out critical tasks.

Increasing the level of protection of such vehicles is critically important to ensure the safety and effectiveness of operations.

That's exactly why we solve this problem by creating anti-fragmentation ballistic packages for vehicles.

PROTECTION MATERIAL

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a modern material made of ultra-strong threads. Thanks to its structure, it withstands strong impacts, friction and chemical influences

Water resistance
The armor material — ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene — is water-resistant, so it doesn't lose its ballistic properties even in contact with water.
Adaptability
The material is flexible, so it can easily be adapted to various shapes.
Thermal resistance
UHMWPE withstands a wide range of operating temperatures without losing its ballistic properties, so it's suitable for various conditions of use.

PROTECTION classes

Anti-fragmentation protection modules are available in two classes in accordance with DSTU 8782:2018. The main difference is the number of layers of ballistic material, which directly affects resistance to damage.

DSTU Level 1

Protection against bullets:

− 9×18 mm (9 mm Makarov) 57-N-181S;
− 9×19 mm FMJ RN SC Luger/Parabellum

Anti-fragmentation resistance:

– V50 500 m/s VST 01.301.003-2020 (02) (STANAG 2920)

DSTU Level 2

Protection against bullets:

– 7.62×25 mm TT 57-N-134S;
– 9×19 mm FMJ RN SC Luger/Parabellum

Anti-fragmentation resistance:

– V50 603.6 m/s VST 01.301.003-2020 (02) (STANAG 2920)

Questions and answers

Do I need to hand over my vehicle if I want to install anti-fragmentation modules?

No, you don't need to hand over the vehicle.
For us to make the anti-fragmentation modules, it's enough to send patterns — templates of the shapes of the parts that need to be protected. These can be cutouts of cardboard or another material. We will definitely advise you on how to make them correctly.
The manufacturing and installation process:
1. You send us the patterns.
2. We manufacture the modules.
3. We deliver them to you via Nova Poshta.
4. You install the modules — yourself or at a service station.

What's the difference between the external and internal installation options?

External installation (without disassembling the vehicle). UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) modules are mounted on the outer part of the body. This can be done on your own.
Internal installation (requires disassembling the vehicle). The modules are mounted inside the doors, under the hood and in other internal elements. In this case, help from a service station is usually needed.

How much do the anti-fragmentation modules weigh?

The weight depends on the protection class:
DSTU Level 1 — ~4.8 kg/m²
DSTU Level 2 — ~6.4 kg/m²
One vehicle (4 doors, roof, hood, fenders, trunk) uses approximately 8–12 m² of armoring. Thus, the total armor weight is:
DSTU Level 1 — ~40–48 kg
DSTU Level 2 — ~55–80 kg
Such weight doesn't affect the vehicle's functionality.

Do you install the anti-fragmentation modules?

No, Ukrainian Armor does not perform installation of the anti-fragmentation modules.

We recommend:
• contacting a service station
• or installing them yourself

How long does it take to manufacture the anti-fragmentation modules?

Manufacturing the patterns and modules takes approximately from 10 business days.

Will the modules withstand all possible fragments?

Fragments can have different sizes, shapes, weights and speeds. So there's no guarantee that a module will withstand any of them.
However, according to the results of testing in a certified laboratory, as well as tests together with servicemen, an anti-fragmentation module of DSTU Level 2 withstands:
- fragments from an FPV drone with 500 g of explosive at 1 m from the blast;
- fragments from a VOG-17 at 1.5 m from the blast;
- fragments from an RGN grenade at 1 m from the blast.
- fragments from an F-1 grenade at 1 m from the blast

How do I take the patterns myself?

We'll advise you on this.
The general process:
1. You provide us with the exact shapes of the surfaces you want to protect.
2. Our designers prepare the final patterns.
3. Production manufactures the modules from these patterns.
