They are certainly leaving nothing to chance. Spare lorry + recovery vehicle amongst security and staff! For those who complain 'why weren't people informed' or 'why is it going through our area' firstly it is supposed to be a secret, and the police/military don't exactly want it published, just in case it is attacked. 2nd it is the most suitable route. Certain routes, which might seem okay, have restrictions.

Good catch of the nuke convoy. I think those police trucks are a new addition as prior there used to be armoured green escort vans housing Royal Marine protection.

Your day will immediately start to go very, very poorly indeed. There's a reason these convoys are made up the way they are. And depending on the threat (idiot protesters vs. terrorists) there's also a reason that the escorts carry live ammunition, as well, as I would imagine, have immediate access to enough heavy weaponry to start (and win) a small war. The coach will be for the AWE support personnel. The marines and special escort group will be in the back of the police trucks. Difficult to get out of a coach quickly vs 'throwing the van doors open'.

[@beithirdragon870]

Security would be easier if a regular truck which was heavily armoured and built to the same specs was followed by armoured cars with plain clothed security. The Americans have used a similar measure. Make everyone think the main convoy is the clear military one by drawing attention to itself and the regular one slips by unnoticed because no one would pay attention to a regular delivery or service box truck.

[@camelsac]

@@beithirdragon870 Operational security says otherwise. Regardless of how many convoys you send out, the terrorists would find the one they wanted to hit. So we do it differently by being overtly security conscious. Either way, regardless of what any terrorists try, they won’t remove a nuke from those trucks.
