Turkish armored vehicle “Derman” has been successfully tested, Trend reports with reference to Turkish media June 28.

The armored vehicle was tested by NATO experts.

All wheel drive (8x8) truck with a 517 horsepower engine has the ability to carry a load of 40 tons.

The armored truck was developed in the Mersin province, and the development of its prototype began in 2016.

About 40 Turkish engineers took part in the process of developing the armored truck “Derman”.

With the start of mass production, the armored truck will be handed over to the Turkish Armed Forces, and subsequently be actively used in the country.
