A contract was signed between the Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB) and FNSS for the procurement of 27 additional vehicles within the scope of ZAHA Phase II.

The ZAHA Phase II procurement contract was signed between the President of the Secretariat of Defense Industries (SSB) and FNSS at the Istanbul Expo Center. Under this second phase agreement, the production of 27 additional vehicles for the Turkish Naval Forces Command is targeted.

Regarding the procurement contract, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün, President of the SSB, stated:

“We are gathered for the second phase procurement of our Armored Amphibious Assault Vehicle Project, one of the most ambitious land-sea platforms of the Turkish defense industry. Our goal was to develop an entirely original platform in the armored amphibious assault vehicle class, which only a few countries in the world can design and produce. ZAHA has been actively used in operational missions for over two years. In this phase, user experiences from the field will be incorporated into the platform, ZAHA’s capabilities will be further enhanced, and its export potential will be transformed into a concrete plan.”

In this context, the serial production of 27 vehicles was carried out and delivered to the Turkish Naval Forces Command.
