It is then pounded with 10 grenades and 2 landmines. Then, it is stuffed with 15 kilograms TNT.
Protecting passengers in armored cars from various threats requires a variety of techniques to avoid bullets and bombs. Inkas Armored Vehicles Manufacturing’s YouTube channel has a new video that shows the testing of a Toyota Land Cruiser. The crossover is subject to bullets, grenades and landmines as well as 15 kilograms TNT.
The video begins by showing the Toyota being pitted and marked from 780 rounds from different caliber guns. The Land Cruiser is then taken to the lab for further testing. Additional ballistics testing consisted of the discharge of 6 DM51 grenades from the roof and 4 DM51 grenades below the floor. There were also 2 land mines and 15 kilograms TNT at a distance of two metres (6.5 feet).
Although the Land Cruiser was rocked by the explosions, none of them intruded into its interior. This kept the passengers safe. This is a rigorous barrage of tests, which should be more severe than what could happen in real life. Many armored cars have trained drivers who know how to respond in such situations. Drivers don’t want to be left behind, but armor from Inkas Armored Vehicles Manufacturing should allow them to take some punishment.
Inkas has been featured before. We highlighted the CEN 1063-rated armored AMG 63 limo. Inkas has also armored BMX X7 and the Lincoln Navigator. These vehicles required more upgrades than thicker glass and body panels. To handle the extra weight, the suspension must be upgraded and the engine and transmission parts strengthened to accommodate the additional weight. Inkas also makes its own armored vehicles specifically for .
The video’s interior is a fascinating part of it. Although the rocking is quite violent, the dummy at the back of the vehicle is not hurt. Although it is not something we would want to experience, it is fascinating to see the armor from the inside of the vehicle.
