Cobra

Notes: This is a Turkish light armored personnel carrier based on an expanded version of the HMMWV chassis. Variants include two types of reconnaissance cars, a command vehicle, an ambulance, a mortar carrier, and a TOW II ATGM carrier. There are doors on either side of the hull for crew access, and a large door in the rear of the hull for rapid dismount of troops. There are two firing ports in either side of the passenger compartment on the roof is a small turret with a heavy machinegun; alternatively, the machinegun can be externally mounted and aimed and fired from wither a hatch in the roof or remotely from inside the hull. The turreted version has two hatches in the hull deck to the rear of the turret. The vehicle is driven in water by propellers.

The ambulance version of the Cobra is a rather barebones type of ambulance, with improved shock absorbers for a smoother ride, provision to carry stretchers, a refrigerator for perishable medical supplies, at least one doctor's medical bag, and medical equipment like splints and an oxygen tank. The vehicle is equipped with air conditioning and heating.

The Cobra CCV (Command and Control Vehicle) is similar to the Cobra Ambulance on the outside, but inside is fitted with at least three radios, a map board, and land navigation equipment, as well as a set of folding tables and chairs. On the roof of the vehicle is fitted a dish for a ground surveillance radar and a mast for long-range antennas, and inside is also a satcom terminal, a video camera, a battle control computer, GPS, and better night vision.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This vehicle does not exist.
