for the first time at the IDEF 2011, defense fair in Istanbul

Turkish
Defence Company Otokar plans to export a large number of
eight-wheeled armored vehicles it has just developed, said
a top company executive on Friday, April 29, 2011.
The
Arma
8x8 will be competing with rivals for contracts in at least
two countries in the next two months. Otokar said Thursday
it had signed a contract with Turkish security officials
worth 56 million Turkish Liras for the sale of armored personnel
carriers and upgrades for them.
Serdar Görgüç,
General Manager of Otokar, said the contract includes the
procurement and upgrade of nearly 400 Cobra light armored
vehicles, Otokar’s signature product. |
