Amphibious assault vehicles are armored vehicles used in amphibious landing operations. These vehicles can move both on water and on land and can transport troops under protection and fire support to the shore. Amphibious assault vehicles can have different configurations for various tasks. For example, personnel carrier, command vehicle, rescue vehicle or mine clearance vehicle.

FNSS ZAHA is an armored amphibious assault vehicle developed by Turkey. ZAHA is a vehicle that has high mobility and fire power both on water and on land. ZAHA’s technical specifications are as follows:

It can carry 18 people besides the gunner, driver and commander.
It can reach 70 km/h on land.
It can move at 7 knots (13 km/h) on water.
It can climb 60 degree slopes in vertical position.
It can provide 40 degree capability in horizontal position.
It can cross 2 meter trenches.
It can also overcome 90 centimeter vertical obstacles.
It also has many technological and military weapon systems.

ZAHA’s competitors include amphibious assault vehicles such as the US’s AAV-7A1, Russia’s BMP-3F or China’s ZBD-05. These vehicles can also move on water and land and carry different weapon systems. However, ZAHA’s advantages are:

ZAHA has a higher power-to-weight ratio (20 hp/ton) than its competitors. This makes ZAHA faster and more agile.
ZAHA has a higher ballistic protection and mine protection level than its competitors. This makes ZAHA more durable and safer.
ZAHA has a higher fire power than its competitors. ZAHA’s turret has a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher and a 12.7 mm machine gun. This makes ZAHA more effective and versatile against different targets.

It seems that Turkey is preparing for a coastal landing war with this amphibious armored vehicle. Especially considering the problems it has with GREECE on the small islands located in the Aegean sea, TURKEY plans to change the course of a possible war with these armored vehicles.Turkey can easily take control of the GREEK islands with these armored vehicles.This armored vehicle, which will be deployed on the TCG-ANADOLU LHD ship, will be able to safely approach enemy troops on the coast from very far distances, and thus the ship will be able to safely approach the beach.
