Armor plate

Ceramic and Kevlar armour plates for plate carriers

In the conditions of modern warfare, the vast majority of injuries and traumas soldiers receive as a result of shrapnel hits. Therefore, buying armour plates in Ukraine becomes extremely relevant for soldiers of the Armed Forces and other military units involved in combat operations. 
Armour plates are steel, ceramic or Kevlar protective elements that are inserted into the design of the plates and provide additional protection of the user's body from mechanical damage and wounds (cold weapons, shot, bullets, bomb and shell fragments). 
The plates are selected depending on the existing plate carrier — its model, size and shape, as well as the needs of a particular user. Based on their combat missions, fighters modify the plates as they see fit, adding side or shoulder armor plates, as well as anti-shrapnel aprons for groin protection.

The protection class is a combination of attributes such as weapon, cartridge, core type, bullet velocity and other factors that a particular body armour or armour plate is able to resist.
