My God ! What a reaction.
Can't imagine what would have happened if the guy's roles would have been reversed.

Quite a thriller. The last few seconds, when he exits the vehicle with the gun, is something very Bollywood filmy. Just imagining the whole scene with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan in the 90s .

So in all possibilities, the loot materializes with loss of life(s).

Most likely the robbers would also have no firearms, or maybe desi katta at best in some geographies.
Definitely not Audis for chasing unless they stole one recently, in which case again, they'll probably make more money dismantling & selling off the Audi for parts than trying to rob!!! LOL

The bravery of the men apart, the Toyota has this habit of landing itself in situations where it also comes out as a hero. When watching the reviews of this video by security experts from around the globe, got to know that there is a war in Toyota name. Its an interesting read.

And the complete dash cam footage of the incident has also been released, and I am sure that the more you guys watch it, the more you are going to appreciate this 'gentleman', and yes, I am sure that you are gonna watch it multiple times too! Once he felt that the other party has decided to give up, he followed and hit their car. Total badass!

The company which made the armored Landcruiser gives a ballistic analysis of whats and hows, that happened to the vehicle. Interesting part starts from 10:00.

Awesome video. I just saw 10:00 on first.

Two points:

1. I wonder how many rounds it can take at the same or similar spot before it give up - the windshield.

2. Seems like if the front windshield gets a spray of bullets, the attackers can actually render that glass significantly opaque thereby hampering the driver’s vision to evade and drive effectively.

Still, this thread has been an eye opener on armoured vehicles.
