IDEF 2019: Otokar Details TULPAR MEDIUM TANK

Meeting user needs for a single platform to use in different missions

 

Otokar’s TULPAR Medium Tank, exhibited for the first time in Turkey at IDEF, stands out with mobility, firepower and survivability features. Integrated with CMI’s Cockerill 3105 type turret; the auto-loader 105mm gun system is capable of firing all types of 105mm NATO ammunition and 105mm guided anti-tank missile. TULPAR offers effective solutions in missions that require high firing and destruction. With superior mobility, the medium tank can serve in all kinds of combat environments from urban, built-up areas and light bridges to woodlands and all terrains especially soft surfaces where main battle tanks are unable to operate due to their heavy weights.

The multi-role, modular TULPAR series is designed as a platform to meet the users’ needs for a single platform to use in different missions. The vehicle is the ideal platform for the medium tank. Tested in the toughest climates and on rough terrain, TULPAR boasts best-in-class ballistic and mine protection with modular armour technology and armour structure that can be configured and scaled according to threats. TULPAR, which can be integrated with active protection systems, has the capacity of carrying two infantry in addition to its crew of three (commander, gunner and driver). Efficient Integrated Logistics Support system solutions ensure low lifetime support costs.
