Originally introduced to the Turkish inventory in 2014 and exported to its first international customer in 2017, the Ejder Yalcin 4x4 is currently in service in 11 countries, including several in the Gulf region.
Corbacioglu emphasized the importance of customer feedback in improving the vehicle:
"Our existing users have fully embraced the vehicle. Over time, they communicated their specific operational requirements, and we responded by extending the vehicle’s wheelbase. We have enhanced its mine and ballistic protection to industry-leading levels and increased its personnel capacity."
The vehicle’s new configuration has successfully passed all ballistic, mine resistance, and mobility tests and has been tested in multiple countries. "We expect to see it in active service very soon," Corbacioglu added.
Developed by Nurol Makina, the Ejder Yalcin 4x4 Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicle is engineered to support military and security forces in urban and rural operations.
Its high mobility and advanced protection make it a robust and reliable platform for various missions. With the extended-wheelbase version, the vehicle’s personnel capacity has been increased from nine to 12, further enhancing its operational flexibility.
