UAT-T Cobra is a Ukrainian light armored vehicle from UKR ARMO TECH, built around a Toyota Land Cruiser 79-based 4x4 chassis for protected troop movement. Ukrainian reporting documented at least one vehicle entering service with Kyiv's 204th Territorial Defence Battalion in April 2023, while later MAC HUB material presents the MAC TI name with a higher-protection 7+1-seat configuration in the same Land Cruiser 79-derived line.

Vehicle Layout and Sourcing Boundary

UAT-T Cobra sits in the light protected-mobility layer rather than the heavy MRAP layer of UKR ARMO TECH's public vehicle line. Reporting describes a Toyota 79-based 4x4 chassis, a ten-seat layout, a mechanical roof turret for a machine gun, run-flat tire inserts, and B6 ballistic protection; later open reporting links the same vehicle family to the MAC-TI name, while MAC HUB's current MAC TI page gives a 7+1-seat B7/STANAG II configuration. Public sources do not establish a production total or a full operator list beyond the documented 204th Territorial Defence Battalion transfer.

Base chassis

Toyota 79 / Land Cruiser 79-based 4x4 chassis in Ukrainian and later MAC HUB reporting.

Early Cobra layout

Ten-person capacity, with reporting describing four seats in the forward cabin and six more in the troop compartment.

MAC TI listing

MAC HUB lists 7+1 crew/passenger capacity, B7/STANAG II turret and glass protection, and a 295 hp 4.5L V8 turbodiesel configuration.

Armament fit

Mechanical rotating roof turret for a machine gun; sources do not document a standardized weapon model for all vehicles.

Engine data

Published automotive reports conflict: Auto24 described a 195 hp engine uprated to 240 hp, AutoCentre described a 4.5-liter V8 turbodiesel at 240 hp, and an Avtoradio mirror describes a 6.7-liter Cummins at 345 hp.

Variants

Open sources identify UAT-T Cobra as part of UKR ARMO TECH's early wartime armored-vehicle line, alongside the Dodge-based UAT-D GYURZA and UAT-F models. Later reporting also identifies the Land Cruiser 79-based MAC-TI as the UkrArmoTech UAT-T Cobra.

Militarnyi and Auto24 describe the Cobra with B6 protection, a mechanical roof turret, ten-person capacity, and a Toyota 79-based 4x4 chassis.

MAC-TILater MAC HUB name for the Land Cruiser 79-based Cobra line

DefenceWeb identified MAC-TI as the UkrArmoTech UAT-T Cobra and described it as based on the Land Cruiser 79 chassis; MAC HUB's MAC TI product page lists a B7-protected 4x4 configuration with 7+1 crew capacity, a 4.5-liter V8 turbodiesel, and 295 hp.

Base Chassis

UAT-T Cobra is documented as a named Ukrainian armored conversion built around the Toyota Land Cruiser 79 / LC79 vehicle family rather than a clean-sheet heavy MRAP platform.

Place In The UAT Vehicle Line

Auto24's early vehicle-line reporting placed UAT-T Cobra beside UAT-D GYURZA and UAT-F, while newer cataloged UKR ARMO TECH vehicles show how the manufacturer later split its protected-mobility work between heavier troop carriers and lighter LC79-derived platforms.

  • UAT.GYURZA-02: heavier 4x4 MRAP-class armored personnel carrier from the same manufacturer.
  • UAT-TISA: later light armored tactical pickup from the same manufacturer, also tied to a Toyota LC79 chassis in separate sourcing.
  • Toyota Land Cruiser 79 (LC79): base pickup/chassis family used for UAT-T Cobra / MAC TI and other armored conversions.

In conflict records it is best treated as a rugged 4x4 chassis and light utility vehicle: Ukrainian sources document LC79-based armored vehicles, Land Cruiser 70-based Dzhura vehicles, and UAT-TISA pickups serving mobility, reconnaissance, logistics, evacuation, and force-protection roles during the full-scale phase of the Russia-Ukraine War.

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.

The record distinguishes the lighter original Cobra from the larger Cobra II branch, whose recent official context includes a 1,059-vehicle Romanian ATBTU program, local production at Medias, and more than 20 Cobra II users in 13 countries. The cataloged conflict record spans documented losses or captures in Georgia, Burkina Faso, and northeast Nigeria, Cobra II protected mobility and evacuation use in Ukraine, and a reported Cobra-mounted Turkish laser system in Libya.

Ukrainian forces were documented operating BATT UMG vehicles at Bakhmut in December 2022, while SIPRI transfer data, German government aid lists, and parliamentary records support later BATT/FFG-linked APC and MRAP delivery context for Ukraine.
