Various options for armour of cars for transportation of special vehicles are estimated. There are examples of the increasement of the cost of the car after armouring. The levels of secret car armouring are updated depending on the goals, cost of the work, the probability of attack and modern technical capabilities. The protective properties of the car armour made in accordance with the developed project of its armour protection have been evaluated. The examples of modern materials used for armouring cars are given, and their capabilities are assessed depending on the attack options on the object and the characteristics of the probable means of destruction. The so-called “opaque armour”, multilayer polymers and bullet-resistant glass are described. Examples of breakage of armour by means of defeat are given. The capabilities of various modern sniper complexes are evaluated and potential ways of protection against their use are analyzed. The constructive features of creating cars with secret armour are systematized in accordance with an improvement of the means of destruction, the capabilities of modern materials for armour protection and the trends of technical progress. An importance of using armoured cars is shown.
