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.
