According to the commentator, the Otokar Cobra II light armoured vehicles are attached to Combined Arms Tactical Groups (GTIA) Bolt and Flash, which are intended as a rapid intervention reserve.

Some of the Cobra I’d were fitted with electronic jammers to counter remote-controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and were seen armed with 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.

Aside from armoured vehicles, Ivory Coast is operating Delair DT26 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) supplied by France. Four drones were ordered in 2021 to help the military effectively monitor its northernmost border which have seen jihadists attacks in recent years.

Using its 10 times optical zoom and infrared sensor, the Delair DT26X Surveillance can carry out remote or night surveillance missions.
