Armored VehiclesBMC KirpiMine-resistant ambush protected armored personnel carrierThe BMC Kirpi is a Turkish 4x4 mine-resistant ambush protected vehicle built around a V-shaped monocoque hull, protected troop seating, and wheeled battlefield mobility. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears as donated Turkish protected mobility for Ukrainian units, including marine brigades, where its role is moving troops under artillery, mine, and small-arms threat rather than serving as a front-line fighting vehicle.

Armored VehiclesOtokar CobraWheeled infantry mobility vehicleThe Otokar Cobra is a Turkish 4x4 armored infantry mobility vehicle built around protected transport, patrol, and security roles. In the Boko Haram Insurgency archive, its sourced appearance is conservative: an Otokar Cobra was shown as apparently captured by ISWAP during a 2019 attack on a Nigerian military base in Borno state.

Armored VehiclesBadger ILAV4x4 mine-resistant armored personnel carrierThe Badger ILAV is a 4x4 International Light Armored Vehicle derived from the Cougar MRAP family, built to move troops with better mine and improvised-explosive-device protection than light trucks. Yemen received a small number before the civil war, and open-source imagery places the type among armored vehicles visible in Houthi-controlled Yemen.

Armored VehiclesBushmaster PMV4x4 protected mobility vehicleThe Bushmaster PMV is an Australian 4x4 protected mobility vehicle built by Thales Australia to move infantry under mine, IED, small-arms, and artillery-fragment threats. In Ukraine it became a prominent Australian military-aid vehicle, valued for protected troop transport and ambulance variants after Canberra committed multiple batches to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Armored VehiclesOshkosh M-ATV4x4 mine-resistant ambush protected vehicleThe Oshkosh M-ATV is a U.S.-built 4x4 MRAP designed to combine mine and ambush protection with better off-road mobility than earlier heavy MRAPs. Its V-hull, armored crew capsule, blast seats, TAK-4 independent suspension, and long road range make it useful as protected tactical transport, convoy security, and battlefield mobility equipment. In the Russia-Ukraine War, open-source reporting has documented M-ATVs in Ukrainian service as part of the broader flow of Western MRAPs used to move troops under mine, artillery, and small-arms threat.

Armored VehiclesREVA armored vehicleMine-resistant ambush-protected armored personnel carrierThe REVA is a South African mine-resistant armored vehicle family built around a V-shaped armored hull for troop transport and protected mobility. In the Yemen Civil War, reporting on the UAE-led campaign in Hadramaut documents Reva MRAPs used to mount local pro-government tribal forces alongside other coalition-provided armored vehicles.
