TOMA

The abbreviation for "Social Intervention Vehicle".

For those who are not familiar with what the Turkish police utilizes, besides resorting the primitive means of torture, we introduce you one of the easiest vehicles to operate to disperse the crowds.

• High ballistic protection
• Cabin protection against tear gas
• Bulldozer
