The only reason people associate shields and defence at all is the way it's displayed on the unit screen. If weapon damage was added on to strength in the display you'd get the same thing there. Fortunately it isn't, so it's less confusing.

Pretty sure they mean the Shield of Valor, which gives you Air Shield (like the also mentioned Silver Hauberk).
The irony being that in many cases, these missiles are fired somewhat "blind" anyways, just arced in the general direction of potential enemies..... Yet they miss the pretty armor every time.
