Türkiye continues to send military aid to Ukraine. Eyewitnesses shared footage of the echelon with Turkish Otokar Cobra II light armored vehicles. At least 20 units of these vehicles passed through the railway station of the Romanian city of Bacau in the direction of the Ukrainian border.
Otokar Cobra II is a Turkish development, adopted in 2013. The armored car is equipped with diesel engines with a power of 360-400 hp. With. and accelerates on the highway to 110 km/h. The machine can be equipped with 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm machine guns or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. The vehicle’s armor provides protection against 7.62mm shells and artillery shell fragments.
There have been no previous statements about the transfer of the last Turkish wheeled armored vehicles to Kiev. Ankara continues to play both sides, at the same time, in some cases helping Russia circumvent Western sanctions, while supplying arms to Ukraine. The published images once again confirm the fact that not all weapons supplied to Ukraine are announced in advance by Western sponsors.
Presumably, the new Turkish armored vehicles will enter service with the 82nd Air Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and will be involved in the next enemy counteroffensive.
