The first batch of Cobra II 4x4 armored vehicles produced by Otokar for Romania has entered service, marking a new phase in the major 1,059-vehicle procurement program.

Otokar has entered a new phase in its 1,059-unit COBRA II delivery program to Romania, launching local production preparations with a NATO-standard facility in Mediaș.

Otokar stated that local delays in Romania within the COBRA II armored vehicle project will not affect the overall schedule or strategic objectives of Türkiye’s largest single land vehicle export contract.

Otokar has ramped up production for Romania’s €857 million COBRA II order, the largest single armored vehicle export in Turkish defense industry history. The project includes 1,059 vehicles across 10 variants.

Under Turkey’s largest single armored vehicle export deal, Otokar will deliver 1,059 COBRA II 4x4 vehicles to Romania. Production has already started in Sakarya.

Morocco has signed a $136 million contract with Turkish defense company Otokar to procure 200 Cobra II armored vehicles with full support packages.

ASELSAN’s Mobile Satellite Terminal has provided the Turkish Armed Forces with their first land vehicle capable of secure satellite communication while in motion, ensuring uninterrupted and reliable connectivity under all conditions.

The Turkish armored vehicle Cobra II has been upgraded with a mine-resistant (MRAP) version, offering enhanced ballistic protection, stronger mine resistance and increased carrying capacity for high-risk missions.
