Kuna Toyota pickup on üsna levinud transpordivahend Lähis-Ida sõjakolletes, siis peitsid tootjad USA kaitseministeeriumi tellimusel uue auto Toyota välimuse taha, et madalamat profiili hoida.

Since Western intervention in the Mideast and Africa began many centuries ago, soldiers operating behind enemy lines had two imperfect choices. They could sit in the cozy protection of an armored Humvee or MRAP, but let everyone know who they are and what kind of heat they’re packing, or they could bounce around in a Toyota pickup like everyone else, attracting no visual attention but going without any protection from gunfire, let alone explosives. Navistar, which makes International trucks, thinks their refreshed SOTV-B could make choosing between safety and stealth a feature of yesterday’s war.
At least, for those who can afford it.
PS
moderaatorid, kuna ma olen viimaste postitustega teema pealkirjast kaugele triivinud, kas saaksite tekitada teema "Toyota sõjad"?
