You all know,Vladimir Putin, Russian President right? Now this what he rides in as official car.
According to reports, a rocket cannot penetrate.Details of the new limousine used to transport the Russian President was reportedly said to be far more secure than the 'The Beast' (U.S President,Official limousine).
The armoured car has a 12-centimeter-thick titanium plated roof that is so strong a T-72 tank can drive over it without causing any real damage, sources said. Its windows are made of glass that will withstand a direct hit from a rocket-propelled grenade, while its wheels automatically turn into caterpillar tracks when going over rough terrain.
Officials at the factory where the limousine was assembled were so confident in the level of safety provided by the vehicle that they placed the designers inside the car while soldiers shot rocket-propelled grenades at it — a tradition that dates back to the Stalin era.
The Kremlin official noted that the car’s occupants could survive a small nuclear attack, but only if the wind was blowing in a certain direction. He however declined to elaborate, saying reporters would be allowed to ask questions in future.
Now am not just going to compare this ride with the US President's Official Car as Not much is actually known about 'The Beast' since it falls under the Secret Service's classified motor pool, but a few specifications and secrets has leaked over years.
What do you think about the two limos/Tanks??
Like Putin's, looks quit modern.
