Turkish defense manufacturer FNSS has been contracted to supply new generation PARS ALPHA armored vehicles for the Turkish Land Forces (TLF).
A total of 25 vehicles will be delivered to TLF’s mechanized units in both 6×6 and 8×8 configurations.
The 6x6s will be in command post variants, while the 8x8s will be in anti-armor squad and armored recovery variants.
FNSS’ proposal was selected following intense competition, including field trials by the Turkish defense procurement agency (SSB) and the Turkish Ministry of Defense, the firm said.
An estimated 2,000 land vehicles are being planned for procurement by the TLF, with additional PARS ALPHA orders expected, the company added.
