Sarkozy gets new umbrella
完美防護:'薩科齊防彈傘'
French President Nicolas Sarkozy is to start using a ￡10,000 bullet-proof umbrella to protect him from attackers, the Daily Mail of London reported. The umbrella is coated in Kevlar, a very strong material originally used as a replacement for steel in auto racing wheels. It also includes carbon and silver, allowing it to reduce the force of bullets, as well as resist knives, acids and rocks. "He's had all kinds of missiles aimed at him from above, especially on visits to high-rise housing estates where he's particularly unpopular. This umbrella will keep him pretty safe," said a source at the police unit which tested the umbrella.(See photo)
據英國《每日郵報》報道，法國總統薩科齊為防受到民眾襲擊，最近新配備了一把價值1萬英鎊(約合10.5萬元人民幣)的防彈傘。這把傘是用凱夫拉爾強纖維制作的，這種材料最初作為鋼的替換品應用在賽車車輪中。材料里還加入了碳和銀來減緩子彈力量，并抵擋刀具、強酸、石塊的襲擊。負責測試該防彈傘性能的警方人員稱："在訪問其不受歡迎的居民區時，薩科齊經常成為各種高空物體的襲擊目標。這把傘將為其提供完美保護。"(見圖)
