New Armored Truck, shot by AK-47

Spotted this AM on Military.com video section.

Why would anyone push armor that stops an AK??

Defense Venture Group has a YouTube section:

Probably a good fit for East LA, DC, Chicago, or Detroit??

A bit to light weight for Caracas, Venezuela, even for Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua..

I'm not sure why. "Country Joe and the Fish" thought they did, however:

Non Standard Tactical Truck.
No doubt the troops would call them NASTIES.

Rated for higher than AK, they dont say how much higher only "The NSTT offers scalable armor packages to meet multiple threat levels" Looks like they offer 3 threat levels and also claim IED protection. The closest to a public spec I could find was Opaque & transparent armor Euronorm B6+

B6 is 7.62x51 FMJ pointed nose with a soft core, B7 is the same with a steel core.
