Armored car attack video from South Africa
From a reader.
1. Train ALL vehicle based employees to a level of tactical proficiency.
2. As the controllers of blmantifa realize they can sick their useful idiot minions on armored cars for extra cash, we’ll start seeing this stuff more often in the U.S.
3. As soon as communist democrat useful idiot minions start receiving training on how to attack armored cars, the greed, and lack of cause and effect genes will take over.
4. Train for the worst, hopefor the best.
5. Vehicles are bullet magnets.

Check out Craig Douglas with Shivworks. He has some badass PRACTICAL training for hand to hand fighting, knife fighting, close in pistol work and carjacking. In his classes, you will fight INSIDE a car. You need to be in shape. You don’t have to be a total stud but you are going to basically spar and you need to be prepared for that. If you can, take some BJJ courses NOW while you still can. It doesn’t cost ammo and you will get in better shape.
FWIW, I haven’t gotten training from him yet, but he is on my short list and comes HIGHLY recommended from folks I know.
clearly untrained for this type of response.
Passenger eventually loading his pistol with the wide-eyed fear look, then having to pick up the rifle (as yet unloaded as well), then he’s holding BOTH weapons at once, clearly not knowing WTF to do, if anything.
The phone option comes up, and passenger realizes he has no hands free to work a phone, so he moves his pistol like it’s a an extra sandwich and puts it somewhere so he can then use the phone!
I don’t want to die for somebody elses money, but I would do my best to make sure my partner and I knew some basic bail-out drills so we could exit the vehicle and get away.
The guy driving basically did everything right in my opinion
They got off easy… little danger, compared to what my former Commanding Office of 1RLI Support Commando… Vernon P…. told me.
He was in charge of the many cash transport trucks for the largest bank in South Africa… he told me he thought he was back in combat in Rhodesia… the robbers would use RPG-2 and RPG-7s and blow the hell out of the whole damned truck.
Chris Rogers, my former Support Commando friend from New Zealand ,was killed in the attack on his cash truck.

Here’s a full half hour interview with the driver, Leo.

As he pointed out, a lot of things that seem inexplicable from this video make sense when the full footage and situation is available.
He was driving the support vehicle for an armored truck carrying cell phones and he was attacked first in a coordinated action. There were a total of four vehicles involved. Leo is a trainer, not normally in tactical operations, but Lloyd (the passenger) had only worked for the company for four days. He also says that the cell phone was being jammed.
Well worth watching. I’m curious what the more experienced readers on this site make of his interview.
Thanks Mathew for the link. My take away from the video is TRAINING…. just like Scout says all the time and this guy confirms it.
Who else is guessing that the passenger was in on the entire thing as he was calm and pretty cool… or else an absolute moron. Just saying.
[…] the heels of yesterday’s post regarding the same incident. Good […]
Only addition to the follow up interview- “back up was 30 minutes away” so they did what they could, with what they had. The perspective on radios appeared to be from the point of using unencrypted radios. Cell phones are easy to jam. Encrypted radios are much harder to jam. But, radios back up cell phones, and one should always have a back up…or two.
Not knowing the difference between SA and here, my biggest take-away is I just witnessed what armored car heists will be like WROL. Even after they were fired upon, no one even tried to call police. An attempt was made later on but (reading now about cell jammers) but half heartedly. It’s like they knew before it began that there would be no assistance.
Supposedly, they bailed when the truck finally came to a stop(?) which made no sense at all.
The shocker for me was the relatively small yield versus the attempt made.
