In the armored vehicle, the reporter saw a large amount of electronic equipment in addition to seats. All this equipment is ready for any emergency.

On both sides of the armored vehicle, there are six round holes which can be covered by bullet proof steel sheets. “These are observation holes. Police can observe the situation outside from within the vehicle. In special situations, these holes can be used for shooting from. ”
