Although offering absolute protection against every developed & conceivable threat is a landmark that MKU aspires to achieve, its various personal protection products currently adhere, follow and conform to a variety of well defined international threat levels. Since the threats vary significantly with geographic locations, these threat levels show country wise modifications.

MKU constantly keeps itself aware of all major new ammunitions being developed and also of all minor/major modifications or upgrades to these International Threat Levels which are followed by a wide gamut of countries.
