Body armor in modern war — lessons from Ukraine.

Most plate carriers leave the lower abdomen, pelvis, groin and upper femoral vessels open. In this video I explain why large-scale war without air dominance turns groin protection into basic infantry kit, and give a 4-point system to judge any setup — size, movement, mounting and rear protection.
You’ll see a full comparison and market rundown of Western and Ukrainian groin protectors, from Crye Precision LAP, AVIS and ProtecUA to M-Tac, Ballistica, UkrArmor, Suputnyk, Velmet, ProfArmor, and ATAKA, with real discussion of segmented construction, under-plate mounting, price per square inch, combat seats and the “speed is armor” argument.
Spoken by a 2022 veteran of an international volunteer unit in Ukraine and featuring the Thorn groin protector and Elba combat seat developed by Trophy Gear Origins in collab with ENSIS Gear.
