Velmet Ballistic Shields
Ballistic shield - is a mobile protective device designed to cover the operator from bullets, fragments, and secondary damaging elements during assault, police, special, and combat operations. This section presents tactical shields, bulletproof shields, and ballistic bulletproof shields developed for scenarios where protection area, ergonomics, resistance to threats, and weight control are critical.
Why choose Velmet ballistic shields
- Certified products - all ballistic shields are tested and have confirmed certificates of compliance.
- Proven in practice - the largest batch in the history of Ukraine: 300 ballistic shields manufactured for the National Police in 2025 within one month.
- Designed for real threats - structures are created taking into account modern combat scenarios.
- Balance of weight and protection - optimized for mobility without critical loss of protection level.
A modern tactical shield is used where personnel require fast frontal protection during entry into premises, evacuation, operations in urban environments, group cover, or execution of special tasks. That is why when choosing a shield it is important to evaluate not only the declared class, but also the actual protection area, construction, balance, ease of handling, the presence of a viewport, and compliance with a specific application scenario.
Where tactical shields are used
- police and special units
- assault and tactical groups
- military units
- cover and evacuation teams
- security structures
Bulletproof shield or ballistic shield can be made from different materials: high-strength UHMWPE polyethylene, aramid, armored steel, ceramics, or hybrid solutions. This determines the weight of the product, protection level, behavior under multiple hits, effectiveness against fragments, and overall suitability for assault operations. If the task involves high mobility, the ratio of weight to protection area becomes important. In real tactical conditions, the key factor is the design of the ballistic armor plate taking into account threats, the ratio of protection level to weight, and most importantly - confirmed laboratory test results.
How to choose a ballistic shield
If you need to buy a ballistic shield for a specific type of task, we recommend paying attention to the following parameters:
- threat level (fragments, firearms, armor-piercing ammunition)
- weight and ergonomics
- protection area
- shield shape and usability
- additional lighting with strobe effect
- presence of a viewport
- verified test protocols
- availability and convenience of suspension system
It is the combination of these characteristics that determines how effective a bulletproof shield will be in real use, rather than only in a short product description.
Review the available Velmet models in this section and select a ballistic bulletproof shield that meets your requirements - from mobile solutions for assault teams to shields with increased protection level for specialized applications.
Frequently asked questions
The choice depends on the mission: lightweight shields for police, hybrid solutions for assault, and ceramic shields for higher threats.
Weight depends on protection level: lightweight shields are around 5-15 kg, higher protection models are heavier
Yes, this is standard practice to increase overall protection.
Yes, various models are available for professional use.
The standard package includes: a carrying bag, product passport (combined with the user manual), the ballistic shield itself, and a spare parts kit (ZIP) if required.
The minimum order quantity depends on the technical requirements. For custom solutions that differ from standard models, the order can start from 3 units. We recommend уточнить details with managers via the contact information on the website.
If there is a threat of being hit by rifle or carbine rounds, the minimum recommended protection level is Class 4 according to DSTU. Lower levels mainly provide protection against fragments and handgun threats. The choice of shield should be based on real threat conditions, not just weight or cost.
In Ukraine, the manufacturing and classification of ballistic shields are regulated by DSTU 9232:2023 “Personal protective equipment. Ballistic shields. Classification and general technical requirements.” This standard defines protection levels, testing methods, and key technical specifications.
