APC 79is built on the chassis of
Toyota Land Cruiser 79and provides fast and secure transportation of up to 10 persons.
The armor design was developed by Aurum Security GmbH, GERMANY, utilizing extensive experience of the company in development of fully protected armored military and civilian vehicles. The choice of Toyota as a base vehicle guarantees
availability of the spare parts and service in any part of the world.
Modular armor allows selection of appropriate ballistic protection level from B6 (VPAM 7) up to STANAG 3 (VPAM 11); This level includes all soft-core and armor-piercing bullets 5.45/ 5.56, 7.62 и 9 mm.
The APC 79 also has very high level of anti-blast protection – side blast up to 120 kg TNT and optionally an anti-tank mine under the wheel as per the standard Stanag 2a.
This protection level is normally possible only for military vehicles, yet our vehicles retain comfort and inconspicuous look of civil SUVs. Please refer to the ballistic and blast protection charts for more details.
Attention! Beware of fakes - if you are not sure if the vehicle being offered to you by a third party has been produced by "Aurum Security" please send us the VIN code of the vehicle and we will double check that for you.
