Looks like that is not going to happen. They are being crushed there like everywhere else.

I wonder if anyone ever asked Toyota why terrorists drive their vehicles. Are they bought directly from Japan, is there a terrorist promo code for a discount? Does warranty cover things like rounds from an A10?

No. The warranty only covers Hellfire missile damage, but excludes items with initials like BLU
