Next video recommended to me: *Police in Northern Ireland Attacked with 40 petrol bombs* What makes it worse is that the same trucks in this video are showed in the thumbnail of the next
OVIC bought all the old defenders they could lay their hands on, ex PSNI and ex military. They rebuilt them from the ground up, drive train, brakes, electrics and latest generation armour and called them PANGOLINS ( a small armadillo type creature). Most went to the PSNI but many mainland police forces bought some of the variants. The MET chose a different route they bought JANKEL GUARDIANS built on the Ford F150 chassis. They are all 05 registered and stored at Heathrow. OVIC have now created an all new armoured vehicle, it still slightly resembles a defender but everything is new from scratch.
Why would the met need armoured police vehicles just in case? Petrol bombs have only been thrown at police two or 3 times in the mainland in Northern Ireland it happens a few times a year sometimes
I've watched the Northern Ireland problem for decades. Sad. As a former American cop, when you must use armored vehicles to maintain law and order you know something is terribly wrong!
Armoured cars😂😂😂you mean a defender 110 that most farmers have...bit like using an A10 warthog to kill a pyjama wearing taliban on a moto scooter!! Bit like that you mean?.
Here in Northern Ireland we call them meat wagons for some reason but it's not at all rare to see them driving around east Belfast along with the armoured cars lol just another day in Belfast or northern Ireland, I remember as a kid trying to get them to topple over as they could only turn a certain angle under 30mph so we would throw bricks at them near roads with tight bends but us being kids we never thought cops would be dumb enough to speed around the bend lol , now when I was older I know a few guys who were arrested and put in the back of these wagons and they got slapped about and dropped off near a Catholic area for giving the ruc police alot of abuse lol they were the days

It's a contested area because it's in Ireland but controlled by Britain (the UK). So there has been ongoing conflict for hundreds of years between Irish nationalists & British unionists (not labor unions, but colonists from the UK who wish to remain part of the UK). Brexit has exacerbated tension because it's not possible to have an open border with both Britain & the rest of Ireland (which gained independence & is part of the EU). So unionists are angry that the border controls with the UK make them feel rejected by the UK.
@@jhaimp.sullivan5618 could either mean “losers” if you misheard it or it is an insult typically directed at men whose profession requires physical but no mental skills. Parts of the Northern Irish community are very anti-police and live in the dark ages. They refuse to move on and hold the region back as a result.
@@vanpallandt5799 this incident is just of many cases where the police attack a peaceful and legal demonstration remembering the dead nationalists of Irish history, when the police get attacked in the north of Ireland you can bet 99% of the time the attacks were brought on by the police's choice, it's called danger pay, it's all in the aims of fattening their pockets.
I suspect the cars do not have light bars for the same reason the vans have their roof beacons in cages. They'd spend too much time and money repairing and replacing them. The beacons are flashing by the way, just they're illuminated quicker than the camera shutter speed so the camera doesn't catch it.
Yeah funny but being police officer in northern Ireland is very dangerous.... there can't past year without shooting on police officers or throwing petrol bombs at them.

It's northern Ireland so yes..... It's mild compared to years ago though.... The police cars armoured too.

As long as Ireland is full of idiots who want to fight instead of helping each other and living peacefully, there must be a force capable of stopping their stupidity. We all pray to our respective Gods that these violent and aggressive people will one day learn to stop being such arseholes to each other.
Honestly i can't say that armored land rover is enough for the job, especially in region with troubled past. Here where i am, even though gun crime very low and gun possession mostly prohibited, for such kind of purposes the police tactical corps use APC or MRAP. It also doubles as roadblock during protest since no one can flip it.
Being a Land Rover owner, I can say with 100% confidence that half those armored vehicles broke down in route.
Poor maintenance will lead to more faults.
I have friends that just had to be in that “hip group” that had to own Land Rovers and BMW’s…spend more time in the shop than driving them.

Driving in England was confusing enough. I probably would've had a heart attack if I'd had to move out of the way of these folks.
This isn't England 😅
@@ChrisTuffursStuff
Regardless of where it is, it would've been confusing. SO -- Where is this?
@@vickyschnorbus4166 2 weeks late but Northern Ireland.
I heard someone say "what'a buncha hosers"
What is that, mean?
@@jhaimp.sullivan5618 could either mean “losers” if you misheard it or it is an insult typically directed at men whose profession requires physical but no mental skills.
Parts of the Northern Irish community are very anti-police and live in the dark ages. They refuse to move on and hold the region back as a result.
They sent about 50 land rovers because they knew atleast 2 or 3 will reach the destination while the rest will break down en-route 😉
MAY ALMIGHTY GOD & LORD JESUS BLESS & PROTECT ALL SECURITY PERSONNEL.
Okay 🤔 This was 4 months ago...
How bad is it now?
And what are psni?
Police Service of Northern Ireland :)
Ngl I would be kinda scared if those things came to the riot I was at lol
They are more for riots and if someone has something bigger then s pistol on them they would come to sort it out
the comments just scream 'I have no idea what's going on here' since everyone seems to be cheering on PSNI actively enforcing tyranny like usual.
🤡
@@tiaraireland9415 cope
Enforcing tyranny?
@@vanpallandt5799 this incident is just of many cases where the police attack a peaceful and legal demonstration remembering the dead nationalists of Irish history, when the police get attacked in the north of Ireland you can bet 99% of the time the attacks were brought on by the police's choice, it's called danger pay, it's all in the aims of fattening their pockets.
@@caukbanga7953 you were there?
Locals just walking around like nothing is happening lol
Absolutely great footage certainly know where this is from the iconic vehicles
Appreciate it! Very iconic
They need some emergency lights added to them cause they have no flashing lights at all besides the headlights and one blue light on the top rear.
I suspect the cars do not have light bars for the same reason the vans have their roof beacons in cages. They'd spend too much time and money repairing and replacing them. The beacons are flashing by the way, just they're illuminated quicker than the camera shutter speed so the camera doesn't catch it.
They did have plenty of rooftop lights At one point! Guess they got sick of replacing them 🤣🤣🤣
Can someone explain what has happened ?
Thanks
It’s Northern Ireland they have problems with IRA (Irish Republican Army) terrorists attacking people
Those armored trucks look like they called in Verizon to come clean up a faulty line lmao
Isn't it funny that some US states want to switch to European sirens, while some European countries use American sirens?
I like the old sirens better. The ones seen in British movies and TV shows.
Great work as always 👏
I know what happened, old lady attacked police with her walking walking stick. Very dangerous suitation, we are all very frightened by what happened.
Yeah funny but being police officer in northern Ireland is very dangerous.... there can't past year without shooting on police officers or throwing petrol bombs at them.
@@nomennescio3677 I know, I'm just kidding mate. Northern Ireland 🇮🇪 is great and people are also nice. It just back in England we need 10 officers to arrest 1 shoplifter, things are very different in NI didn't mean to offend anyone.
What actually happened though?
England invaded Ireland in 1169 and they still want their land back.
Wow if only the polis were this responsive to all the other emergencies 🤣
@@alexdouglas7868 They are. It's just that idiotic nationalists cause so much trouble it holds up the PSNI.
He had 5 stars for shure
Does this happen often?
It's northern Ireland so yes.....
It's mild compared to years ago though....
The police cars armoured too.
The south took the 2006 vauxhall OPC off them and it was armoured, the Gardai used it for a good few years.
Remember actually seeing it in action up north and then also in the south when it changed hands.
@@almilhouse9059 thank you
as someone who lives there, probably about once a month ish. Mainly either Derry or Belfast
@@almilhouse9059 wow! i actually didn't know that those police cars were armoured as well......but what you have said is very interesting even for me.......thank you for the information and general knowledge, sir...... 🙂
i really hope that you and everyone at your side have an amazing day today and everyday....... stay safe, protected and blessed always........
You know exactly where you are in the world when you see them rovers lol.
Absolutely. Iconic with Northern Ireland in an odd way!
what game is this? graphics looks real
Wow what country is this police response
Northern Ireland
@@blockmore1 oh my sister was living Belfast. Travel to Croatia and some other places near there somewhere. Visited Nazi death camps and stuff
@@blockmore1 but that is a ruthless armed response
@@pythagoreanteacher1558 No need to ask me, I don't know much about Northern Ireland
@@blockmore1 neither do I, apart from the famous story of a boat race first to get there wins northern Ireland. And race was so close he cut his hand off and threw it on land first. And that's why a blood cut off hand is on the flag
It's sad that these vehicles are still required even today 😞
As long as Ireland is full of idiots who want to fight instead of helping each other and living peacefully, there must be a force capable of stopping their stupidity.
We all pray to our respective
Gods that these violent and aggressive people will one day learn to stop being such arseholes to each other.
Weak warning lights. Should improve that for safety
No riots shown, no petrol bombs shown. Is this another Ukraine.
2021 and this happens in europes backyard. That’s the state of the place.
Ngl those armoured defenders are awesome!
Really ugly but pretty fast and durable
Im surprized they still went the correct way round the circles. I would have personally went anti-circlewise
The fact Northern Ireland has 100% of Britains water cannons and 80% of their riot response vehicles says it all.
Honestly i can't say that armored land rover is enough for the job, especially in region with troubled past.
Here where i am, even though gun crime very low and gun possession mostly prohibited, for such kind of purposes the police tactical corps use APC or MRAP. It also doubles as roadblock during protest since no one can flip it.
This one needs the American armoured vehicle vs British armoured vehicle meme for satisfaction
Lmao dude got a 4 star in real life
That's some catch my friend. Keep up the videos.
