Popular Post webfact Posted September 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2022 TNR Staff PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha, who has been suspended while awaiting a court ruling on his eight-year tenure, annoyed his fan club in Ayutthaya province during a flood inspection trip earlier yesterday (Sept. 2) by not greeting them but later sent them a basket of fruit that cheered them up, Matichon newspaper said. Mrs. Kanlayanee Chuprang, or Aunt Ayutthaya, a political activist who earlier said she was offended because Gen. Prayut, who had visited in the province in his concurrent capacity as Defence Minister, had not greeted them not even rolling down his car window to wave to them even though they had come to encourage him. However upon getting the basket of fruit from him and getting an explanation that he was not able to wave from his car because the window could not be lowered as it was a bullet-proof vehicle, she said she now fully understands what happened and hoped he stays the prime minister for a long time.

Well according to these people you can roll armoured windows down. https://www.armormax.com/blog/can-armored-car-operable-windows/#:~:text=In other words%2C can you,The quick answer is yes. In other words, can you roll down bulletproof windows after the armoring process takes place? The quick answer is yes. The long answer is that while we do include operable windows on a majority of the armored cars we manufacture we don’t always recommend them for every type of environment. We work extremely hard to make our ballistic glass operable and strive our best to make the windows roll up and down as far as possible in every vehicle, but in some countries and in on some armoring packages (i.e. level B7) there is a trade-off between armoring the car and making the windows operable or not completely bulletproof if the windows are rolled down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
