Vehicle cages in Ukraine

“Cope cage” is an informal name associated with vehicle cages used in the war in Ukraine. It describes a category of barriers rather than a standard design.

Metinvest reported developing and supplying protective screens for military vehicles in Ukraine in 2024. That report describes Metinvest’s work.

Veil’s prototype

Veil is currently testing its cope-cage prototype, an alternative to conventional metal-lattice cages. The development objectives are improved blast absorption and occupant protection.

These are development objectives, not demonstrated results. The illustrations are concepts and do not specify the prototype’s materials or construction.
