Turkey’s Otokar To Debut New Armored Vehicle ‘Cobra II’ This Week
Turkish defense company Otokar will exhibit its newest Cobra II Load Carrier Armored Vehicle for the first time this week at the Efes 2018 Live-Fire Military Drills in the Aegean province of Izmir.
The Efes 2018 Live-Fire Military Drills, which run from May 7 to 11, aims to develop military and combat capabilities for joint operations, in preparation for actual military engagement.
The locally-produced vehicle has been developed for secure delivery of vital materials -- including ammunition, fuel, food and water -- to troops during operations and to military bases.
It has superior maneuverability with the capacity to carry 2.5 tons of load. The vehicle will be able to respond during day and night, in challenging terrain and climate and in different operational areas.
It has superior mobility since it can be used in both urban and rural areas.
Moreover, the vehicle also provides close protection and self-defensive firepower facilities with its anti-aircraft gun that can be mounted in its chassis. The vehicle can operate with 120 millimeters of mortars as well as the weapons of 5.56 and 7.62 millimeters.
