About COBRA Project:
Since the inception of the COBRA project initiated by Otokar with the support of TUB?TAK in 1997, important investments were made in new technology, engineering and marketing. During the design phase, the COBRA was tested for endurance in many internal and external locations, and under extreme climatical and geographical conditions. In essence, it has proved itself in a short period thanks to Otokar’s know-how and experience.
The COBRA, a Tactical Wheeled Armoured Vehicle, attracts attention due to its excellent field performance and its excellent capability of durability. The COBRA has overtaken other vehicles in its class especially due to its resilience to explosives and mines, thanks to its monocoque structured, wide dimensioned, armoured body. The COBRA is a unique Tactical Wheeled Armoured Vehicle with many features such as independent suspension, continuous 4x4 towing capacity, and non- blowout tyres. The COBRA additionally serves perfectly well in narrow areas and on urbanized terrain with its small and low profiled body and moreover, it provides total control for the personnel with its wide ranged transmit angle.
