Shrapnel protection in Ukrainian trenches

Campaign objective

Send 11 sets of armoured vests and blankets to Ukraine (specifically to the International Legion units) to protect soldiers from shrapnel. The sets will be delivered to the International Legion units in Ukraine and will be manufactured by the Czech company Frogtag, which developed them in cooperation directly with the soldiers in Ukraine.

What to buy

11 anti-squat sets consisting of a vest and a blanket

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

A major problem is the lack of armored vehicles by which soldiers can get to the line of contact with the enemy relatively protected. As a result, many of them suffer injuries or even die before going 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.
