The FNSS Pars IV 6x6 Special Operations Vehicle is already in active service with the Turkish Army's Special Forces Command. This vehicle marks a significant milestone as the first 6x6 armored vehicle acquisition in the Turkish Armed Forces' inventory.

A key feature of this vehicle lies in its two independent Sancak RWS systems, also developed by FNSS. These turrets come with a versatile weapon mount capable of carrying 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine guns, as well as 40mm automatic grenade launchers. This adaptability allows customization based on the specific requirements of each mission.

The Pars IV 6x6 is equipped with state-of-the-art mission equipment. With a paramount focus on crew safety, the vehicle shows outstanding ballistic, mine, and improvised explosive device (IED) protection, reinforced by an RPG net. This defense mechanism shields the crew and the powertrain from unconventional threats, where the intensity and timing of the danger remain uncertain.
