Usage Note
Blindado (from blindar, to armour) describes vehicles, doors, or glass reinforced against attack — coche blindado (armoured car), cristal blindado (bulletproof glass). It also appears figuratively: posición blindada means a well-defended or unassailable stance. The noun blindaje refers to the armour plating itself. In Spain the word is common in both military and security contexts.
