The Toyota War.
Under the name "Toyota War" or "Great Toyota War", the armed conflict between Chad and Libya in 1986-1987 made history. The reason for the name is simple: Toyota Hilux and Land Cruiser pickup trucks are believed to have played a decisive role in the fighting in the centre of Sahara. They are relatively easy to convert into mobile fighting points equipped with machine guns and heavier weapons. Subsequently, "technicians" based on Toyota and similar SUVs became a favourite type of military equipment in local wars in Africa and the Middle East. Toyota was favoured by former terrorist No. 1 Osama bin Laden, the Afghan Taliban, Somali rebels and jihadists in Syria and Iraq.
