Kiev forces are reportedly about to receive several dozens of Turkish-made Cobra II infantry mobility vehicles via Romania.
On April 13, video footage surfaced online showing 20 to 30 Cobra II vehicles moving by rails in northeastern Romania in the direction of Ukraine. The Romanian Armed Forces are not known to operate this type of vehicles, which indicates that they were directly supplied by Turkey.
The Cobra II is a 4×4 wheeled armored infantry mobility vehicle that is made by Turkey’s Otokar. The vehicle is powered by a 6.7L, six-cylinder, water cooled, turbo charged, common rail, diesel engine that produces a power of 360 hp. It has a maximum speed of 110 kilometers per hour and can operate in a range of 700 kilometers.
The vehicle, which weighs around 12 tons, can carry nine personnel including the driver and the commander. It features a high level of protection against several threats, from improvised explosive devices to landmines.
Standard equipment of the Cobra II includes rear view 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, automation fire extinguishing system, intercom system, navigation system and an auxiliary power unit.
The vehicle can be armed with several types of machine guns, grenade launchers, anti-tank guided missiles and anti-aircraft weapons.
Turkey didn’t not halt military cooperation with Ukraine after the beginning of the Russian special military operation in the country last year. Ankara supplied loads of weapons to Kiev forces, including Bayraktar TB2 combat drones, BMC Kirpi mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles and allegedly TRLG-230 precision-guided missiles. Most of these weapons were paid for by Ukraine or its allies.
The supply of Cobra II vehicles will make up for some of Kiev forces’ material losses. However, it will not change the balance on the battlefield, or lead to any tensions between Ankara and Moscow who maintain close relations.

Why is Russia not doing anything about this by at least confronting Turkey? Or are Russia and Turkey, knowing that these supplies will not make any difference in the conflict, working together to bankrupt Ukraine?

Governments are one of the greatest problems facing humanity. If politicians and their families were to die on the battlefield, these ´´good relations´´ between the regimes would end very quickly. This shows that we are being held hostage by psychopaths who don’t care about human life. The Turkish regime sends weapons to the Ukrainian regime and they use them to kill Russian soldiers. However, the Russian regime and the Turkish regime are not enemies………Something like this is a sign that all regimes work together worldwide and that we are the target of their actions.
MONEY the entire monetary system which is debt based, we need better alternatives and NOT Bill Gates patented 060606 chip.
Ei nu si au declarat unii altora razboi, Națiunile Unite știu de confruntare nu de declaratii de razboi… Fiecare vinde ce poate sa poata trai mai bine. Industria metalurgica sigur o va duce f bine…. Sa cumpere arme din Turcia e de inteles….
Zrejme to Rusom až tak nevadí. Lebo ak by im to vadilo istotne by podnikli nejaké opatrenia. Inak Turecko to nateraz stále hrá na obe strany.
I do not understand why Russians do not start arming Kurds.
Straight six diesel, nice, solid, will run forever. The rest is up to the Russians.
I thought turkey was supposed to be at least “friendly” with russia???
Guess not…

Ain’t no snake like a Turkish snake. Deceitful motherfuckers. You save them one day and they stab you in the back the next.
Probably useless junk like the Baycrapter drones they supplied to the Ukrats!
The grammar in these articles is atrocious. Proofread your shit Southfront.
Can’t trust the turkeys.
No one can.
Especially Kurds in Turkey
Oh yes, so great! This turkish bullshit will make real difference at the frontline.
Like I’ve been saying for years… don’t trust the Turks.
