They always make it out to seem like the president is untouchable but we all know they get assassinated from time to time.
Bullets have always done the trick but now with all the bullet proof glass and with the Secret Service covering all the good angles to take a shot from, it seems like a lot of trouble to try and snipe the president.
I see all these tv shows about how well protected our Commander and Chief is but I wonder "How well protected is he"?
No one has ever tried shooting his helicopter or airplane down.
Do you think the President's vehicles could really evade a rocket or missile attack?
Could they withstand a direct hit?
You never see any footage of testing the President's limo against a rocket or bomb.
Is it because it is classified or is it because they can't really protect him all that well and declassifying footage of testing armor and defenses used to protect the President would just encourage attacks because the armor actually sucks?

Air Force One has anti-missile capabilities, such as radar jamming and decoy flares, and it is shielded with armor that can withstand a nuclear blast from the ground.

I want to make this clear.
I am not threatening the President or asking for Swim.
I only made this thread because I am interested in armor technology. I saw a video about a Mexican company making bullet proof suits that eliminate the hassle of a vest.
And yes I went to take my dogs on a walk shortly after making this thread and a Black Ford Explorer creeped up behind me and a lady in Army uniform mean mugged me. I'm sure this was just a coincidence but then I got home and had a PM from someone begging me to delete my post.
I suppose I could have titled it differently but it's too late now.
I only brought the President into this because I figured he had the best armor and defenses.

In fact this thread is about protecting the President. Anyone who thinks this thread is about harming him obviously doesn't know how greatful I am to have a President that I can relate to.

Fona, you are too much bro
I bet you could fly an F-15 into Air Force One if you were in USAF. Better yet make it a team of two. One takes off unauthorized to ram into Air Force One, but it's a distraction. We'd have a second conspirator in one of the jets that get scrambled in order to intercept the first one. So as the first one gets close to Air Force One and then gets intercepted, one of the interceptors fires off all their ordnance in the general direction of the president an after that just rams his jet into it if the counter measures worked against the missiles or whatever.

All that got to do is make the plane unflyable and gravity will do the rest.

This thread is about armor and defenses not killing anyone.
I wanted to talk about how well protected the president is just to open up conversation on amor and defense technology.
Do you think the President has a parachute?

I shook President Bush’s hand back in the day. It’s not that hard to gain access.

Does he have a special ejection seat in the airplane?

Lanny please don't delete my thread. We are not saying anything bad. Not even cuss words.

We need to know which Bush it was, you might have caught a disease.

I'm pretty sure I got exposed to agent orange back in 'nam.
I blame my delusions and addiction on the pain I suffered from that war.
