Hi Gang, while search for reports about the fighting against the ISIS on the Turkish/Syrian border, I stumbled across this pic of a Turkish MRAP.

Can anyone identify it?

Hi my friend,
This is named Kirpi which means Hedgehog,designed and manufactured by BMC company. Google image search for BMC Kirpi will bring you many photos but if any specific details needed, I will do my best to answer your request.
best regards

Hi Engin,
thanks for the information. Seems to be a good design. Myabe I put it on my (very long) to build list.

Looks like the one I photographed at the Eurosatory show in 2010.



You have some more pictures on my site. At the time, it was not fitted with the weapon station on the roof.
