IsraelNN.com) An unidentified buyer in Asia, where al-Qaeda and Taliban are a growing threat, has pushed production at a Galilee armored vehicle factory into full capacity, after the company suffered a severe economic crisis only a few months ago. The anonymous purchaser has ordered hundreds of Storm (Sufa) jeeps at the Nazareth-based Automotive Industries Ltd. factory, worth tens of millions of dollars. Globes reported. The demand for armored vehicles and protection for vehicles has resulted in current orders valued at nearly $1 billion and is a reaction to increasing sophisticated weapons obtained by terrorist organizations. The armored all-terrain and patrol vehicles offer armies a tactical weapon to counter guerilla fighters, whose modern portable weapons often make massive tanks ineffective. Many terrorist organizations are armed with the RPG-29 anti-tank rocker launcher that can penetrate the armored tanks and vehicles built several years ago. Automatic Industries was founded in 1966 as the industrial arm of Automotive Equipment Ltd. and has manufactured to date 90,000 vehicles, including buses, trucks, ambulances, command cars and jeeps, such as the Storm 4 x 4, and an “up-armored” version of the Hummer. The U.S. Army is the largest customer of Israeli suppliers, and Globes said the demand has become unprecedented. Other suppliers include Kibbutz SASA, which last week received an order from an American vehicle manufacturer for armored protection kits worth several hundred million dollars, on top of a previous order for approximately the same amount. Another company, called Arotech and listed on NASDAQ, produces the David ultra-light armored personnel carrier -- its backlog for orders now is worth $42 million.
