STREIT describes the Cobra LAMV as a compact protected troop-transport vehicle for hostile environments with CEN 1522 FB6 protection, while specialist references identify the Cobra APC as a Toyota Land Cruiser 200-based 4x4 design with roof weapon options; Ukrainian and Oryx reporting document its use and losses in the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
UA Portal reported Ukrainian troops training with a KrAZ Cobra in December 2022; Oryx lists visually documented Ukrainian KrAZ Cobra losses and captures during the full-scale invasion, and later reporting described a captured Ukrainian Cobra used in Belarusian exercises.
