-Azerbaijani Cobra's are standart one being in Georgian, Nigerian, Khazakistan.. and Turkish inventory. Slovenian NBC Cobra's are specially modified in accordance with costumer's requirement and provide much more protection than standart Cobra's Turkish and Azerbaijani have.
The point being that Georgian-used Cobras were terrible. Many were captured during 2008 war, and the body was not very protective. I am told that it was not uncommon from a bullet to penetrate the armor and ricochet multiple times in the interior, tearing all the soldiers to shreds.
IMO the Khazri is not much of a step from the Russian-designed/made alternative. Simply another way for Aliyev to assert "Azerbaijani identity."
The MPT does look cool though. Hopefully, if it is introduced to Azeri army, it will give new impetus to Armenian army to start mass production of the K3 or VAHAN rifle.
