@ Impunity! Dont know if to cal them tasers but Armoured vehicles used in war zones are fitted with optional security features commonly know as "electronic counter measures- ECM". The role of the ECM is to avert an explosion caused by an Improvised explosive device (IED), similar to what was used in the Moi Avenue explosion. Criminals are known to use mobile phones, RF or GSM enabled devices to activate IED's which may be hidden either in the vehicle or by the roadside. Remember when Clinton was visiting Nairobi, at one point there was no mobile phone network coverage at all; that is the work of the electronic counter measure. I doubt if MM car has been installed with such measures as the aerials are visibly missing from the car. @ Wendz! I can teach the dude quite a bit of armoured vehicle stuff "You've never lived until you've almost died; for those who have fought for it, life has a flavour the protected will never know."

@ Wendz! I can teach the dude quite a bit of armoured vehicle stuff To say I'm impressed with the knowledge you've got is an understatement. Clearly, you are an expert in that field.... may be you've got a job cut out for retirement... like a High-Profile-Security-Consultant!

@ Wendz! I can teach the dude quite a bit of armoured vehicle stuff Clinton never visited Kenya during his presidency, if my memory serves me right.  Portfolio: Sold

An armoured Toyota Lexus/Land Cruiser cost less than $200,000 with all those accessories and much more than that for instance gun ports, automatic fire suppressant systems, automatic electronic counter measures et al. Second, Toyota does not armour vehicles after a second world war embargo. All Toyota Armoured vehicles out there are modified after production in companies such BAE (UK & RSA, svos (czech republic), JANKEL (Jordan and UK), STOOF (Germany) et al. On the other hand, there are special mine protected vehicles and looking at the photo of the alleged MM car, it lacks the underlying reasons/principles to offer mine protection. A standard B6 armoured car protects you from 7 plus riffle shots and some level of shrapnel. B6 Verified offers slightly more protection. All in all, the journalist carried out substandard research and came up with an emotional article. @luttz Impressive knowledge! I think I may need your support.... Some of those vehicles on order coming up.

The belly of the vehicle is armoured to withstand the blast and shrapnel from detonation of land mines, grenades and other Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
.....seriously does this guy know the kind of IED's that some psychos can assemble?

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
