Nurol Makina, which serves Indonesian police with its YORUK 4x4 Light Armored Vehicle also known as NMS 4x4, aims to strengthen its presence in the country by meeting demands from the army side.

Turkish defense industry's armored land vehicle manufacturer Nurol Makina displayed the YORUK (NMS) 4x4 light armored vehicle exported to Indonesia at the Indo Defence Expo & Forum 2025 fair held in Indonesia.

Third participation in Indonesian defense fair

Nurol Makina Business Development Director Mehmet Corbacioglu told an AA correspondent that they participated in the fair for the third time.

Corbacioglu said they completed deliveries last year following the contract signed with BRIMOB, Indonesia's elite special operations and tactical unit of the police, and displayed the vehicle used by BRIMOB at the fair.

"Apart from BRIMOB, there are also demands for our vehicle from the army side. We held these discussions and will continue to follow up after the fair. After Malaysia, our Indonesia contract was signed. Nurol Makina's presence in the region is increasing day by day," Corbacioglu said.
