Currently, we are facing the question of windows, and I have noticed that there is glass resistant to forced entry...
Can anyone share their experience with this? Does anyone have it and can recommend it?
Or is it nonsense?

In areas with a high potential risk of break-ins, such as shop windows, this is a good standard. In cars, all windshields are required to be fitted with a shatter-resistant film according to regulations.

Currently, I am looking into windows and noticed that there is glass resistant to forced entry... Do you live on Molotov Street? – just kidding: who are you – new builder, renovator?
When it comes to "windows," people here typically ask about ways to save money rather than about upgrade features.

Take some time to learn about the RC (resistance class) ratings. The glass is only one part of burglary protection. For easily accessible areas (e.g., the ground floor), you could use RC2, and for other areas, RC1.
For a typical single-family house, anything beyond that usually doesn't make much sense today. You need to be a harder target than your neighbor. Building a fortress won’t bring happiness, and fear is a poor advisor.
A false sense of security depends on personal needs and budget. Insurance is also an option.
Burglars usually give up after a few minutes.
Burglary protection is always a system made up of multiple components, such as controlling the outer boundaries, the property, and vulnerable areas; visibility; lighting; windows; doors; and so on, up to a panic room.
A dog can deter even more.
With the right tools and enough time, entry is always possible.
Hampshire has already explained how impact resistance is achieved. There are also different classes for that.

We were informed that due to ongoing improvements in locking mechanisms, intruders have increasingly resorted to simply breaking the glass around the window handle area.
This can be addressed either with impact-resistant glazing or by using lockable handles. The latter option is, of course, significantly more cost-effective but requires some discipline in managing the keys.

You’ve definitely been advised by some specialists there.
If I don’t have a break-in resistant window but have a lockable handle, I can still break the glass and get through without having to move the sash.
It’s also about the combination of various factors when it comes to windows.
For example, RC2 includes not only P4A glass but also mushroom head locks, lockable handles, anchoring in the masonry, and so on.
There is a lot of misuse happening here. RC2N or, even better, “based on RC2”...
Windows that are certified according to RC2, for example, can be identified by their labeling. These windows must then be installed according to the relevant RAL guideline to achieve the intended level of protection.
