“Bunker on wheels”: Putin's limousine appreciated in Argentina
From November 30 to December 1, 2018, the 13th G20 Summit (GXNUMX) was held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the same time, Russian President Vladimir Putin used the Aurus cars when moving: two Senat limousines, a Senat sedan (a shortened version of the limousine) and an Arsenal minivan.
But it was the limo of the Russian leader that attracted the special attention of the Argentine media, who nicknamed it "bunkers on wheels." Although the remaining heads of state moved through the three millionth city clearly not on foot. The fleet of this G20 summit totaled 323 executive cars.
Obviously, such security measures are simply necessary. Especially considering the prevailing geopolitical situation on the planet. By the way, this is the third time that Vladimir Putin has used the products of the Russian automobile industry outside Russia.
The limo was first used in Helsinki during a meeting between Russian leader and U.S. President Donald Trump in July 2018. The second time, during Putin's visit to Paris in November 2018, when all of humanity celebrated the centenary of the end of the First World War.
For example, the Argentinean edition Clarin, having reported a little about Trump's The Beast ("Beast") limousine of the Cadillac brand, switched to Putin's limousine, clarifying that the head of Russia also uses domestic products.
- emphasized in Clarin.
The local radio station Radio Miter listed the technical characteristics of the limousine and talked about the security system. They know that in the limousine there is a sealed cabin with a supply of oxygen and a container with blood, in case there is a need to make an operative transfusion.
- said in a statement.
At the same time, Iprofesional, comparing American and Russian limousines, made its conclusions. According to experts of the portal "Senat" is unlikely to defeat The Beast in terms of of technologiesbut it has a number of other advantages.
- stated in the material.

After using an armored Mercedes-Benz, Vladimir Putin now drives a limousine Aurus Kortezh, a new car brand created in Russia

Aurus has a protective system that makes it impervious. The body shell is able to withstand shell explosions, tank shots and chemical weapons attacks. This seems to be an ideal bunker of Vladimir Putin during his movement.

But the Russian "tank" is much more mobile. Trump's limousine weighs one and a half tons more than that of Vladimir Putin, and he does not have such a powerful engine. Thus, the car of the President of the United States accelerates to 100 km per hour in 15 seconds. Meanwhile, the Russian "bunker" has a maximum speed of 250 km / h and can reach hundreds in just seven seconds
