The Bryansk enterprise Lokomotiv-Diesel-Service held a presentation of its unique development – the Interceptor barriers to block traffic. One such device is capable of stopping a truck weighing up to 20 tons. The barriers have been tested, certified and patented. Lokomotiv-Diesel-Service is their exclusive manufacturer.
The barrier is a lightweight structure that can be easily disassembled and fits into the trunk of a car. It takes only a few minutes to assemble it in a new location.
The barrier works on the principle of martial arts, in which his own machine is used against the attacker. In the event of a deliberate or accidental collision with a vehicle, the obstacle overturns and hits the bottom of the car from below, thereby extinguishing its energy and destroying the components, depriving the vehicle of its ability to move further.
The device is rated for 25 years. And after a collision with a transport, it is enough to replace the structures damaged by the impact, after which it is ready for work again.
Interceptor barriers are already being used at peacekeepers’ checkpoints in Nagorno-Karabakh. And outside the combat zone, they are in demand in institutions where mass events are held, to protect participants from a terrorist attack or accidental collision of a car – this is a requirement of the legislation of the Russian Federation, for fencing road work and special measures by law enforcement agencies. Deputy Governor Nikolai Luchkin, who was present at the presentation, noted that all sports facilities in the region should be equipped with such devices. The security forces and representatives of the municipalities of the Bryansk region also showed interest in them.
