Can Tulpar use different weapon systems?
Yes. Otokar describes Tulpar as compatible with manned or unmanned systems ranging from 7.62 mm weapons to 120 mm systems, as well as air-defense and mortar equipment. That modularity is the key distinction between the Tulpar family and a single-purpose armored vehicle.
When was the Otokar Tulpar first shown publicly?
The Tulpar tracked vehicle was unveiled at the IDEF defense exhibition in Istanbul in 2013 after a development period of about three years. It was introduced as a platform intended to support multiple military configurations.
How much can Tulpar configurations weigh?
Otokar's brochure lists gross vehicle weights from approximately 28,000 kg to 45,000 kg, depending on the configuration. The final weight therefore depends on the armor, turret, weapon system, and mission equipment installed.
