The VURAN armored vehicle is a tactical wheeled armored platform developed by Turkey’s defense industry to meet the operational requirements of security forces in both internal security and cross-border missions. Designed with a strong focus on personnel safety in environments exposed to mines, IEDs, and ballistic threats, VURAN combines high mobility with multi-mission capability required by modern operations. Thanks to its modular structure, the vehicle can be configured for various roles such as armored personnel carrier, command and control, reconnaissance, and patrol missions. Its robust armored hull and high local content make VURAN a key element within Turkey’s domestic security and defense concept.

From a technical and security standpoint, VURAN features a V-shaped armored hull that deflects blast energy away from the crew, significantly increasing survivability against mine and IED explosions. Its ballistic protection level provides effective defense against small- and medium-caliber weapons, while blast-attenuating seats and specialized interior materials help minimize injury risks during explosions. VURAN’s compatibility with remote-controlled weapon stations allows personnel to engage threats without leaving the protected vehicle. In addition, its advanced suspension system, powerful engine, and 4x4 drivetrain ensure high maneuverability and reliable performance in harsh terrain conditions. With these capabilities, the VURAN armored vehicle stands out as a domestic solution that combines security, durability, and operational flexibility for high-risk missions.
