Background

PARS Wheeled Armoured Combat Vehicle is a versatile, highly modular, and amphibious platform developed by FNSS to meet the evolving needs of modern armed forces. Development of the PARS Wheeled Armoured Combat Vehicle family began in the early 2000s in collaboration with General Purpose Vehicles (GPV). Early variants, based on the GPV Commander 6x6 and Colonel 8x8 platforms, were introduced as PARS I 6x6 and PARS I 8x8, which were first unveiled at IDEF 2005 in both configurations.

In 2007 during İDEF 2007, FNSS introduced the refined PARS II, which was also presented in 6x6 and 8x8 configurations. The PARS II 8x8 gained export success in Malaysia, where FNSS partnered with DefTech to develop an 8x8 wheeled armored combat vehicle. FNSS and DefTech signed a preliminary agreement which included technology transfer and local production rights; collaboration resulted with AV8 Gempita. First prototype of AV8 was revealed in 2013 during Malaysia’s 80th Army Day celebration.

At İDEF 2017, FNSS unveiled the next-generation PARS III, which featured a significant redesign. Built to adapt to future needs, the PARS III was developed with a focus on mobility, protection, and long-term growth potential. New PARS III achieved export success in Oman, which ordered 172 vehicles in 13 configurations, including both 6x6 and 8x8 models.

In 2019, FNSS began developing the PARS IV 8x8 in response to the Turkish Armed Forces’ need for new wheeled vehicles under the New Generation Armored Vehicles Project. After two years of design and development, the PARS IV 8x8 was unveiled for the first time at IDEF 2021. PARS IV 8x8 is engineered to adapt to both conventional warfare and the asymmetric threats while ensuring high levels of protection, firepower and mobility in maximum operational effectiveness. PARS IV 8x8 is engineered to excel in both conventional warfare and asymmetric threats, offering exceptional protection, firepower, and mobility in maximum operational effectiveness. Similar to its predecessors, PARS IV is highly modular and can be configured for a wide variety of missions across diverse environments. Although the PARS IV was initially designed to participate in the tender, its successor, the PARS ALPHA, ultimately took part in the competition.

FNSS unveiled the PARS ALPHA 8x8 at the World Defense Show (WDS) in Saudi Arabia in February 2024 as latest iteration of PARS Wheeled Armoured Combat Vehicle family. PARS ALPHA 8x8 boasts enhanced mobility, firepower, and increased maximum weight, making it a highly capable next-generation armored fighting vehicle. In 2025, it was announced that the PARS ALPHA 8x8 had won the New Generation Armored Vehicles tender. As part of the first phase of the project, FNSS will deliver a range of vehicles to the Turkish Land Forces Command, including the PARS ALPHA 8x8 in configurations such as the Anti-Tank Vehicle and Mobile Repair Vehicle. Additionally, four different mission-equipped vehicles in the 6x6 configuration will also be supplied, ensuring a diverse and capable fleet tailored to meet various operational needs.

Implementation to War Thunder
The PARS Wheeled Armoured Combat Vehicle family should be reserved for the future Turkish Ground Forces Tech Tree. PARS İZCİ 6x6, in this configuration, would perform similarly to other Auto-Cannon armed wheeled vehicles. In terms of Battle Rating, it would likely fit within the range of 8.0 - 8.7. As for placement, it would make a strong contender for the Light Vehicles Branch. PARS İZCİ 6x6 could be a strong contender for the research tree, however, if the PARS III 6x6 is added instead, the PARS İZCİ 6x6 would be a perfect fit as a premium or event vehicle.
