Doesn't seem to be very much information on the vehicle, provided in that article. I thought you may be interested in this article - Ten Year Modernization Plan for the Turkish Armed Forces.

Hello Big K, there doesn't seem to be much on this site regarding specifications.(IE armour,offensive and defensive weaponry,engine,drivetrain)Do you have any other links regarding it?

From what little information I see it appears to be a light armoured recon or troop transport vechile for similiar use to a fox, It appears to have a couple of different varients for different uses be it medivac, troop transport, recon or infantry support. I imagine being newer and more powerfull it will have slightly better armour protection and/or speed. All and all a capable though unexciting light armoured vechile.

Looks like it might work with a quick reaction type force(anti-tank and cannon armed versions).It looks like you could fit quite a few in a C-5 or air drop them but I don't know if the Turkish military has that capability.I would like to see what the bolt on armour package looks like and how much it would downgrade the speed of the vehicle and how much weight it would add.I would love to take one off road and see how it performs.

If I am not mistaken. This is the Terrex from Singapore Technologies. There is a production and design agreeemnt between ST and Otokar with regards to this vehicle production. Apparently the Terrex can be configured for various armoured applications.

Not sure how good it is. I don't believe it the vehicles is operational in the Singapore armed forces.
