In December 2005, Afghan insurgents detonated an improvised explosive device that destroyed the front of this G-Wagen. Captain Manuel Panchana-Moya, Privates Ryan Crawford and Russell Murdock, and a journalist were saved by the vehicle’s protective armour.

The blast threw the vehicle’s engine nearly 7 metres.
