Otokar unveiled Next Generation Cobra 2.5

Is TSK going to use it or it is going to use old one and why buying new one when you can upgrade old one
even Toyota land cruiser can be APC just like nurol ilgaz

IDK if the turkish military will order cobra 2 or the upgrade. Maybe many years from now.

Most of the Cobras that are being used in SouthEast region have Stamp systems.

@Kaan

Good Size

poor door protection

Are you joking...

A civilian car can't compete against V shaped monoblock robust hull of the Kobra in term of balistic protection.

V shape hull doesn't makes the vehicle invinsible. With right kind of explosive you can blow up a tank.

FNSS PARS 8x8 in IDEB 2014

If you want to complain about the lack of Armour, you should check out Pars 8x8 split door rear access. BTW video has been posted numerous times..

What are we going to get to replace M113/BTR/any other old piece of equipment that can't handle RPG's?

In the recent fighting in Gaza an M113 got stuck, APC was send to relieve it (or other way around dunno) and it got hit with an IED and ATGM, 7 KIA.

Our enemies now have modern ATGM's as well.

There is a wide range of choices.They can replace the M113 with FNSS Kaplan or Tulpar and the BTR's with ARMA,PARS,Nurol EJDER....

But when it comes to protection,no armor can withstand a successful hit from modern ATGM's,IED etc.
