Bangladesh Army awards MRAP contract to Otokar

28/04/2017
The Bangladesh Army awarded a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) personnel carrier contract to Turkish military vehicle manufacturing giant Otokar. Otokar won the tender for the 4×4 MRAP’s beating out the likes of BAE Systems Land Systems South Africa’s RG-32 and other vehicles in the series.
Otokar offered a vehicle that could increase crew survivability against Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) with enhanced mine and ballistic protection without compromising on mobility. The vehicles can operate in diverse and challenging climates, which is required given the Bangladesh Army operates in theatres ranging from marshlands to scorching deserts of Africa.
Note: The mentioned MRAP is Kaya-II.
