Donald Trump travels the world in a self-contained medical bunker on wheels — SCMP
The White House chief’s visit to Beijing is accompanied by unprecedented security measures, with the legendary vehicle known as “The Beast” taking center stage.
This is reported by the South China Morning Post.
Donald Trump is traveling through the Chinese capital in a specially designed Cadillac One limousine, which experts call the most secure mobile fortress on the planet.
This unique vehicle was designed by General Motors exclusively for the head of state.
The car combines the sleek design of a premium limousine with the technical specifications of a modern military tank.
The thickness of the vehicle’s armored shield, made of an alloy of steel, titanium, and ceramics, reaches 20 centimeters.
The car’s doors weigh as much as the doors of a Boeing 757 passenger jet, making the interior virtually invulnerable to external attacks.
The limousine’s interior is completely airtight and equipped with an autonomous oxygen supply system in case of chemical or biological weapon attacks.
The 13-centimeter-thick windows can withstand direct hits from large-caliber bullets, ensuring the absolute safety of passengers.
Special attention has been paid to the survival system: the trunk contains a medical compartment with a supply of blood matching the blood type and Rh factor of the U.S. president.
In the event of an injury, the medical equipment on board allows for emergency care to be provided even before arrival at the hospital.
To protect against an assault, the “Beast” is equipped with tear gas cannons and a smoke screen system.
Furthermore, the car’s door handles can be connected to high voltage to prevent unauthorized persons from entering during mass riots.
The limousine’s wheels are reinforced with Kevlar, making them resistant to punctures and tears.
Even if all the tires are completely gone, the U.S. president will be able to keep moving on special steel rims to quickly leave the danger zone.
