Turkish defence company, Otokar, is offering its COBRA II 4x4 Tactical Wheeled Armoured Vehicle for the Philippine Army’s Light Tactical Vehicle procurement programme.
First introduced into service in 2013, the COBRA II 4x4 is a further development of Otokar’s COBRA tactical vehicle that has been in service since 1997. Compared to its predecessor, COBRA II has improved armor protection and a more powerful engine due to an increase in weight to almost double the original version.
With a weight of around 12,000 kg, COBRA II is powered by a 280 hp, 6,700 cc water-cooled, turbocharged diesel engine, giving it a maximum speed of about 110 km/h. It has a capacity for nine personel including a driver and a vehicle commander.
The COBRA II is also able to be armed with a variety of roof-mounted weapons from a manually operated machine gun, to 30 mm cannon or 40 mm grenade launcher in an RCWS mount.
