Light vests for the International Legion

Introduction of the collection:

Members of the International Legion take risks in frontline combat and bear the consequences. The International Legion was involved in the fighting at Kupjansk and Bakhmut, for example. Combat experience shows that the most common injuries on the frontline today are caused by shrapnel. The sides, abdomen, neck - places not covered by the main ballistic plates - are particularly vulnerable.

Soldiers are not safe even outside the direct performance of tasks on the line of contact. Between rotations to the front, Legionnaires remain close to the front, within range of ordinary missile systems, drone range, etc. It is unrealistic to require the wearing of a plate carrier during rest periods, which, even with other equipment and especially ammunition, often weighs over 20 kg.

By supplying ballistic protection from a Czech manufacturer that can be worn even outside of live action, we will save the health and lives of the brave people who came to put their lives on the line for the freedom of Ukraine. At the same time, we will lighten the load on hospitals where soldiers spend weeks treating shrapnel injuries.

‍What to buy:

‍11 anti-squat sets - vest + blanket

A lightweight vest that provides increased protection for the hips, abdomen and neck will ensure that skilled fighters can continue to perform their missions instead of dying needlessly or lying with nasty shrapnel wounds in congested hospitals.

A major problem is the lack of armored vehicles that could be used to get soldiers relatively protected to the line of contact with the enemy. As a result, many of them will suffer injuries or even die before they even go into combat. The ballistic blanket is a very practical shield that soldiers will use, for example, when moving ordinary pickup trucks to the mission site. They simply put it on the doors and side windows and the shrapnel won't hurt the crew. It can also be used when taking cover in trenches and the like.

Who will we help:

‍‍▶ We have created a complete ballistic protection system, says Czech volunteer in Ukraine - ČT24 - Česká televize (ceskatelevize.cz)

‍The fighters of the International Legion of Ukraine are often at the back of the line when it comes to supplies and equipment. Yet they are often deployed in the heaviest fighting at Kupyansk, Bakhmut, Avdiivka...

They are putting their lives and health on the line, and we have decided to help them with equipment that will give them a better chance of returning home to their families and loved ones. We don't want the bravest to pay the ultimate price.
