Ramsa Defence Confident About Tural-1 Capabilities

Ankara-based Ramsa Defense’s Tural-1,
a prototype self-driving ground vehicle, is
attracting a lot of attention at the ongoing
SAHA Expo 2024.

The 6-wheeled Tural-1 is being built to sup-
port troops on a variety of missions. With its
advanced manoeuvrability, the unmanned
vehicle navigates difficult terrains easily.
According to company officials, Tural-1 is
unique and stands apart from the compe-
tition because of its features.

“There are many unmanned vehicles, both
in Türkiye and other countries, but they are
very limited,” said Abdylla Orazgylyjov, Plant
Manager. “Tural-1 is the only product that is

vehicles are restricted. They are small and
