The Cobra (Turkish: Kobra) is an infantry mobility vehicle developed by Turkish firm Otokar which uses some mechanical components and sub-systems of the HMMWV
The monocoque steel v-hull provides protection against small arms fire, artillery shell shrapnel, and to a certain degree against anti-personnel/tank mines and IEDs. Front wheel arches are designed to be blown away to free blast pockets.
In December 2016, footage of an ISIS attack against Turkish M-60 Sabra tanks circulating the internet, showed the crew of a Cobra APC surviving a direct hit with from an ISIS ATGM.
