Turkish gunsmiths from the Roketsan company announced the creation of the newest promising lightweight portable short-range anti-tank missile system, called "Karaok", the bmpd blog reports citing the magazine "Jane's Missiles & Rockets".
As the newspaper writes, the development of a light Karakta anti-tank missile system with a short-range "Karaok" company was commissioned by the Turkish Ministry of Defense. It is assumed that this anti-tank complex was created primarily in the interests of the Turkish special operations forces. The company does not disclose general data on the new complex; only a few data has appeared in the press. At the moment, it is known that the complex’s rocket has a caliber of 125 mm and a length of 1100 mm, equipped with a two-stage solid-fuel engine and a tandem shaped-charge warhead. The mass of the missile is not disclosed, just as the mass of its warhead is not known. The weight of the launcher with a missile and guidance system is declared as "less than 25 kg." The stated shooting range is “over 1000 meters”. There is a possibility of shooting from closed positions.
The rocket is equipped with a thermal imaging seeker of the Imaging Infrared (IIR) type in combination with an inertial unit. The new ATGM operates in the “fired and forgotten” mode, a target can be captured by a rocket both before launch and after. Destruction of the target occurs along the line of sight or from above.
