Armourd Toyota Hit By Fueltruck

[frijof]

This Toyota was hit by a suicide fueltruck in Kabul last year.
As you can see it protected the passengers very well.
I was told that nobody was killed.

That thing took a hell of a beating.

So why would they change the tires and wheels on it.. doubt someone drove it there.

Was it up armored? I see the glass is, but what about the rest?

Looks more like a 4Runner to me, but it is hard to tell.

Nevermind, it's just an old Landcruiser. They look so similar.

who construct the add-ons plating(armor) of this vehicle? what company?

impressive...

[dacanadianbomb]

There are a lot of companies who produce add-on armour kits for vehicles.
Although its surely better than no armour at all, a BTDT gentleman from another forum,argyll will know who it is, said the following once

"We had a boltin kit for the Ford Explorer. Rivets held it together. Then came the IED. We arent sure what parts killed whom. But the panels turned into BIG secondary frag.

If your interested in some reading about armour on vehicles etc , you should check out this http://www.securitydriver.com/aic/stories/article-123.html aand there is a second artile on the site about armour as well.

Dont forget though,not all companeis have the cash etc for properly fully purpose built armoured vehicles.So the people run with what they have.
