Exported armored combat vehicles are sent to Europe by train using the Marmaray line

The export train passing through the Marmaray line, one of Türkiye's giant transportation projects, was captured on camera. In the images, wagons full of Ejder Yalçın armored vehicles are seen arriving at the Kapıkule Border Gate via Istanbul and being shipped abroad. It is striking that defense industry vehicles are also starting to be seen on the line, which previously mainly carried out freight transportation. Transporting them by train to Europe reveals the versatile use potential of Marmaray. The Marmaray line is opened for freight transportation between 00.30 and 05.00 at night.

The Marmaray line (Halkalı - Gebze Suburban Train line) is opened for freight transportation between 00.30 and 05.00 at night. In the images recorded during these hours, armored vehicles loaded onto trains are seen being transported from Istanbul to the Kapıkule Border Gate. Marmaray's tube passage is also used during transportation. The vehicles reach the European Side using this strategic passage under the Bosphorus and continue their journey. The Nurol brand armored vehicles manufactured in Ankara are shipped by train to various countries in Europe that have placed orders. Finally, the Indonesian Air Force ordered 48 5th generation Kaan fighter jets from Türkiye. The F-35 jets, which are controversial as to whether they are 5th generation or not and are claimed to be radar-proof, have been on the agenda worldwide due to their numerous crashes. Israel lost a significant number of F-35 jets in the latest Iranian attack.
