A consortium formed by Otokar, Bluespace Technologies, and Elektroland is developing a modular unmanned ground vehicle for Romania's Armed Forces modernization. The NATO-standard platform features a 1-ton payload capacity.

Otokar, part of the Koç Group, unveiled the first locally manufactured COBRA II armored vehicle in Romania at the BSDA 2026 defense industry exhibition. The first Turkish armored vehicle produced within EU borders marks the beginning of a 1,059-vehicle contract.

Otokar, Bluespace Technologies and Elektroland formed a strategic consortium for Romania’s multipurpose unmanned ground vehicle program.

Otokar unveiled the first COBRA II armored vehicle produced in Romania at BSDA 2026, strengthening its defence industry presence in Europe.

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.

Turkey now exports not only defense platforms but also fully integrated operational concepts. Romania’s ability to operate its TB-2 drones from the newly acquired HİSAR-class offshore patrol vessel marks a major milestone.
