Whether put in their minds by the media, underground factions or other imaginative sources, they and others will find the Combat Guard intriguing.
Created by a company called Israeli Military, the Combat Guard is full armored and can withstand small arms fire, landmines and IEDs. Outfitted with a 300 horsepower General Motors Diesel engine, it can cover 95 miles per hour, making a quit exit when things go south.
