Protection Level and Testing

The plate meets Class 4 protection according to DSTU 8782:2018. Laboratory tests show resistance to at least one shot from an AKM 7.62x39 armor-piercing incendiary bullet (57-BZ-231) under laboratory conditions. According to DSTU, the armor plate withstands hits from: SVD rifle — 7.62 mm 57-N-323s (LPS) cartridge at a speed of 850±15 m/s; AK-74 assault rifle — 5.45 mm cartridge, 7N10s bullet at a speed of 910±15 m/s. Additionally confirmed resistance to AKM 7.62x39 with 57-BZ-231 bullet and AK-74 5.45 mm cartridge with 7N6M bullet. Each plate is marked with a unique number and production date; each batch undergoes laboratory certification with a test protocol and accompanying certificate, valid for 6 months.

Advantages of Armor Steel Compared to Ceramics

Armor steel has several practical advantages: steel plates are not single-use — they withstand multiple shots and do not require immediate replacement after a single hit. The backface deformation of steel is smaller, which reduces the risk of rib fractures and internal injuries in the absence of an additional ballistic package. Armor steel better distributes impact energy over a larger area, reducing the traumatic effect and increasing the survivability of the protective element.

This set is designed taking into account the anatomy and needs of various users: optimized in weight and shape to provide reliable protection against small arms while maintaining maneuverability. If you need a durable, tested, and certified armor plate from the manufacturer Specprom, the SAPI extra small will be an excellent choice.
