Ukrainian Armor (Ukrainian: Українська Броня) is an arms dealer located in Kyiv, Ukraine.[1]
Ukrainian Armor was built on 19 February 2014 during Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity. The founders realized that Euromaidan self-defence forces catastrophically lacked bulletproof vests. Ukraine Armor begun as a start-up founded by 25 friends, including engineers.
During the confrontation in Eastern Ukraine, the demand for ammunition grew and construction workers, engineers and designers joined the company. The team began to investigate foreign expertise. Their customers included the Azov Battalion, security enterprises, and businessmen.
In 2015, production capacities expanded to the operating department of Aircraft Development Plant No 20. Production of bulletproof helmets was set up.[2]
At the end of 2023, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine approved the first bulletproof vest for female servicewomen - a female anatomical bulletproof vest developed by Ukrainian Armour.[3]
