From a control systems designer who was in a three vehicle convoy, but luckily his SUV was not hit....




I'm lucky that I was not in this SUV. Everyone survived this IED (Improvised Explosive Device) blast because of the armor and bullet-proof glass. We are trained to quickly leave the damaged vehicle and pile into another for a fast trip to a safe location.

You can see all the shrapnel holes that penetrated the skin of the vehicle. The armor is inside. The transmission was destroyed and even the frame was penetrated. This does not happen every day, but even every few months is unpleasant.

 

Here is one not as lucky

 

holy crap...

 

Yah Its sad if you go the the US Military site its a Whole lot worse than that Honest my names ED

 

Scary as that is, why go to all the bother of armoring the car, but not fit run flat tires??

 

Just drive one of these and you do not have to worry about it.

 

hehehehehe

 

Whoa! I think the passengers will feel that in the morning!

 

Not as bad as this would feel

It's so much safer on one of these!

Hi Ed - Ed here I didn't mean to you out I Totally meant me ! and Hey Thanks for being there that shot with the white caps must have caused a few hurls ?

 

Nothin to it, but not as many hurls as this maneuver!
