"Air defenders also need reliable protection," stated Oleksandr Myronenko, Metinvest's COO, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the control units of the Patriot systems against shrapnel and debris.
Engineers from Metinvest have developed new armor for the Patriot systems, consisting of about 200 steel plates that collectively weigh 2.6 metric tons yet do not hinder mobility.
The initiative by Rinat Akhmetov's Steel Front aims to enhance Ukraine's air-defense capabilities, reinforcing the importance of protecting the limited number of Patriots supplied to the nation.
Mass production of the steel armor is underway with initial plates already fitted on operational Patriot units to ensure their effectiveness during combat scenarios.
