Turkeye's "HIZIR" stands out as a tactical wheeled armored combat vehicle with the highest motor power of its class in the Turkish defense industry.
The vehicle has been developed in accordance with NATO standards, 4x4 configuration, high maneuverability, and operational requirements of security forces. 9 "staffed", ballistic reinforced, with a high level of protection against mines and hand-made explosives, "HIZIR" was designed to perform well under intense conflict conditions in rural and urban areas.
