According to some, Turkish Land Forces want to discard serious number of ancient times vehicle M-113 + ACV-15 series armoured personnel carriers. Some ACV-15's are planned for an upgrade solution with new Roketsan add-on armours. Rest will be a benefical for aliminium store. Same sources tell that It will be 3000 new generation IFVs to be replaced those M-113+ACV.
In this aspect:
-FNSS signed agreement with Indonesia to develop 30 tonnes IFV based on Kaplan-20. SSM is also partnered with this team to keep rights of final product in his hand so FNSS had a politic advantages against rival Otokar.
-Otokar brings state of art Tulpar IFV having serious rate of similar subsystems with Altay MBT.

Turkish army to upgrade armored vehicles
The Turkish government and army have agreed on upgrading its armored vehicles in the aftermath of a landmine blast which caused the death of soldiers inside a lightly armored vehicle in Turkey’s southeast.
The decision to upgrade its fleet of armored vehicles came in yesterday’s security meeting headed by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, where the defense industry was on the agenda.
Gen. Hulusi Akar attended the meeting as General Chief of Staff for the first time.
The number of Kirpi vehicles, a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle, will be increased. The armored Kobra, which is less resistant to mines, is more often used by the army during the transportation of personnel in regions where terror activities are on the rise. On Aug. 19, eight soldiers were killed inside a Kobra-type armored vehicle in the Pervari district of southeastern Siirt province when a remote controlled landmine was detonated by outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants.
The Turkish army owns more than 600 Kirpi vehicles.
Kirpi vehicles can accommodate up to 13 personnel and can move over any ground condition at a maximum speed of 105 kilometers per hour. New jammers are also going to be bought.
The purchase of more MRAP vehicles, used by the U.S. army to withstand improvised explosive device (IED) attacks and ambushes, was also discussed. These vehicles were widely used in Iraq and Afghanistan by U.S. soldiers.

Maybe Tunisia order too some of the Armed Kirpi´s !
LOL.. Hey bro, where have you been!?
I heard they used an anti-tank mine during that attack. Are MRAP's (Kirpi or other models) resistant against anti-tank mines? I would assume it's not, but maybe they are?Turkish army to upgrade armored vehicles

Wait a second that "Kaya" looks different than the original Otokar Kaya and Otokar Kaya 2.
Could this be Kaya 3? or maybe they've just updated the design or something.
From top to bottom: Kaya, Kaya 2 and the new Kaya (Kaya 3?).

Found the source of that new Kaya (3?) photo but I can't post links at the moment because I haven't met the defence pk requirements (weird rules).
Go to Otokars website then to Otokar kaya's page then click the brochure.
The brochure doesn't match the product (Kaya 1)
