The question of why the first persons of the state need an armored car will be well answered by the case that occurred in 1969. Then, during the honoring of Soviet cosmonauts, an attempt was made on the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev. Fortunately, the secretary general himself was not injured, but the driver of the first car died and several other members of the motorcade were injured. Therefore, armored special vehicles produced at the ZIL automobile enterprise turned out to be very useful. Moreover, the Soviet technology for manufacturing such cars turned out to be more efficient than the Western one.
It's just that American specialists made the body of special vehicles according to the principle of body armor. A thin sheet of Kevlar was used as a protective pad. This gave excellent protection against small arms and blast. But, at the same time, it turned out to be almost ineffective from a more powerful attack. Our experts went further, acting purely in Russian. A special "armored capsule" was made, around which the car "grew". The Americans were able to unravel this secret only after the collapse of the USSR. One of these armored special vehicles was the ZIL-41047TB of the first Russian President Boris Yeltsin. About how he was, is described in the video from the channel "PrivetTachka". Happy viewing everyone!
