SOP for the locals is to apply explosives to obtain access to the cargo.
Sitting in the truck is sitting in the kill zone.
And given time you stand ZERO chance.
CLOSE WITH AND DESTROY YOUR ENEMY IS THE ONLY WAY OUT!
THEY OFTEN SET THEM ON FIRE, YOU ARE SITTING IN AN ARMORED COFFEN.
The other thing, even if that wasn’t true, is that the armor was failing and wouldn’t take too many more hits. A few more hits to the big starred spots and they’d start coming through.
I would suggest that the company that had those made should invest in adding some gun ports for next time.
When the driver drove between the boxed truck on the left and the bandit’s vehicle on the right, he had an excellent opportunity to take out two of the occupants- that, were avoiding being hit by the armored vehicle by hugging the space between the two open doors and the main body of the vehicle.
The driver could have easily sideswiped the vehicle’s left side crushing the two bandits with the right side of the armored vehicle and smashing them against the body of their own vehicle. The two open doors would have offered little resistance and likely would have been ripped off by the impact.
It would have been a spectacular sight to see justice dispensed so quickly and efficiently and to watch it repeatedly in review, would bring unmatched satisfaction to civilized parts of the world.
I know that I have the benefit of hindsight but what an outcome if the driver had sideswiped the bandit's vehicle crushing to death the two goombahs caught just outside their vehicle with the right side of the armored vehicle in an explosively violent pincer move.
