The Turkish Land Forces awarded 614 Kirpis in 2009 and 529 Kirpi 2s in 2018. Abroad: more than 100 to Pakistan, 233 to Tunisia, more than 40 to Libya, a reported 700 to Ukraine, and more to Djibouti, Kosovo, Qatar and Somalia.

The Vuran has been used in the second Libyan civil war and the 2019 Turkish incursion into Syria. The Amazon went to Turkmenistan's State Border Service and Qatar in 2018, to Northern Cyprus as a Turkish gift in 2023, and was seen in large numbers with Syria's transitional government forces in 2025.
