System Integration & Performance:

These ceramic armor plates offer standalone rifle threat protection, making them a critical component of the KommandoStore Strelka Defender 2 armor system. The plates can be worn independently for rifle protection or combined with soft armor panels for comprehensive multi-threat protection. When paired with our custom soft armor panels, the system provides multi-layered protection while the soft armor helps manage backface deformation and provides additional protection against handgun threats and fragmentation.

In this listing, you can also select HG2 ONLY 100% PE panels. Please make sure you select the correct protection level.

This modular approach allows you to configure your protection level based on the threat environment. Use the ceramic plates alone for rifle threat protection, or add soft armor panels when comprehensive multi-threat protection is required. Whether you're building a complete armor package or upgrading an existing Strelka Defender 2 system, these custom-built ceramic plates provide flexible, standalone protection that integrates seamlessly with the carrier system.

Important Note: These ceramic armor plates provide standalone rifle threat protection. Soft armor panels are sold separately and are required only if additional handgun threat protection and backface deformation management is needed. The soft armor panels also offer standalone NIJ 3a protection at their respective levels. For the soft armor panels designed especially for the Strelka Defender, please see our soft armor listing.
