It is a bulletproof armoured vehicle that was allegedly hit by a stone that shuttered its hindscreen in Arua. As a result, the president’s security together with the police unleash live artillery that killed one person – Bobi Wine’s driver.
As a result, the public is still outraged about how an armored Toyota Land Cruiser was yesterday ‘allegedly’ smashed by a mere stone in Arua.
According to our research, it is impossible for a stone to inflict such damage basing on the unique features that are built in the luxurious monster ride.
According to Securico Japan, this highly reliable 4WD armoured vehicle offers bulletproof and blastproof specifications with a reinforced body and an improved suspension. Special armored panels are fitted between the body and the interior in roof panels, front panels, pillars, seat backs, and doors.
Penetration by rounds is prevented with the most advanced curved bulletproof armored glass incorporating polycarbonate layers. To ensure that external appearance remains unchanged, new glass is manufactured with the same curvature as the original and laminated with special intermediate and polycarbonate layers.
The absolute requirement for armored glass is that it stops ultra-high velocity rounds, while at the same time absorbing the kinetic energy of the rounds to ensure that no fragments are formed within the vehicle.
Avoiding an increase in weight of the vehicle is essential when adding armor. Resin-based aramid fiber materials are therefore formed to the curves of the vehicle and fitted on the inside of the doors and body.
These materials offer considerable savings in weight in comparison with metallic armour, and are able to accommodate the body shape of the vehicle.
This composite armour, and explosion-protection panels fitted in the floor prevent entry into the vehicle of blast and fragments from hand grenades and anti-personnel mines.
Ever since International Armoring Corporation started business in 1993, the armoured Toyota Land Cruiser has been one of their most popular vehicles. The latest model has a run-flat tire technology, electrified door handles, smokescreen, tack dispenser and external danger signal.
It’s further fully loaded for protection with an Armormax technology which is said to be the world’s best standard for bulletproofing. Armormax provides an impenetrable barrier which can withstand shots fired from a blank range.
With these kinds of reinforcements, it is hard to see how a stone at however speed range can shutter the presidential lead vehicle like this:
