Note
The platform utilizes permanent all-wheel drive with a double-wishbone fully independent suspension system for all wheels. Latitudinal and longitudinal differential locking systems, combined with large-diameter wide off-road tires, provide exceptional cross-country performance. The Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) dynamically regulates pressure according to terrain conditions, and standard run-flat tire inserts enable continued mobility following puncture damage.
Main Weapon System
Weaponry and Firepower Integration
The EJDER YALÇIN supports modular integration of diverse weapon systems, enabling rapid reconfiguration for specific mission requirements. Standard configuration features two gun ports on the hull roof for manually-operated weapons.
Integrated Remote Weapon Stations
The primary fire control platform is the ASELSAN SARP (Stabilized Advanced Remote Weapon Platform) remote-controlled weapon station, which enables crew to engage targets while remaining under armor, significantly enhancing crew survivability. The SARP turret incorporates advanced features including fire-on-the-move capability, day/night imaging systems, automatic target tracking, and laser range finding for accurate ballistics.
Available Armament Options
7.62 millimeter machine gun; 2.7 millimeter (.50 caliber) machine gun; 25 millimeter anti-aircraft gun; 40 millimeter automatic grenade launcher; Anti-tank guided missile systems (Hellfire, Javelin, Kornet-E, Omtas, Shershen); Very-Short Range Air Defense (VSHORAD) systems (IGLA missile launcher); Mortar systems (Ragnarok 120mm from Rheinmetall); Indirect fire systems (Alkar from Aselsan); TRAKON 30mm remote weapon stations (EWB variant).
Protection
Ballistic Protection
The all-welded steel hull provides baseline protection against small arms fire and shell splinters, with optional modular add-on armor for enhanced ballistic defense. Transparent armor (bulletproof windows) features mesh protection, and optional cage armor offers protection against rocket-propelled grenades and shaped-charge threats.
Mine and IED Protection
The signature V-shaped hull design deflects upward-directed blast energy away from occupants during mine detonation or IED events. Floating floor plates and blast mitigation seating reduce injuries from blast overpressure and fragmentation effects. The vehicle demonstrates protection levels up to STANAG 4569 Level 4a-3b, providing comprehensive mine and ballistic protection
