Description

First unveiled at IDEF 2013, the Cobra II is a more heavily armored successor to the Cobra. The Cobra II has a combat weight that is roughly double that of its predecessor and is slightly wider, longer, and taller. Standard equipment includes a rearview camera, thermal front camera, air conditioning system, blackout lighting system, multi-point seat belts, radio provisions, and a towing eye. It can be optionally equipped with a self-recovery winch, nuclear, biological, and chemical filtration kit, an automation fire extinguishing system, an intercom system, a navigation system, and an auxiliary power unit. In an APC configuration, the vehicle can carry nine personnel and can be armed with a number of different weapons, including crew-operated machine guns and remote weapon stations armed with short-range surface-to-air missiles and grenade launchers. Powered by a 6.7 L, six-cylinder, water-cooled, turbocharged, common rail diesel engine that produces 281 hp, its maximum road speed is 110 km/h on roads and has a maximum cruising range of 700 km with an operating temperature from -10 up to 45 degrees C. Otokar has received orders for the Cobra II both from an undisclosed customer and from the Turkish Armed Forces. In late 2015, the Turkish Armed Forces ordered 82 Cobra II vehicles plus related systems, maintenance, and support worth $52 million. In June 2016, the Turkish Armed Forces ordered an undisclosed number of Cobra II vehicles plus related systems, maintenance, and support worth $120.8 million. Assuming the same value-to-vehicle ratio as the 2015 order, this would imply an order of about 180 vehicles. Cobra II amphibious There is an amphibious and slightly larger variant of the Cobra II with a more powerful 6.7 L, 360Hp, V6 turbocharged engine that is capable of crossing lakes and smaller bodies of water
