Turkey tested a new high-precision mini-rocket to arm drones

The Turkish army will soon receive a new high-precision mini-missile METE. Ismail Demir, head of the Turkish Defense Industry Department, said that the new small-sized ammunition is being tested.

The mini-missile is designed to arm unmanned quadcopters, ground combat platforms, and can also be used by infantry to defeat enemy personnel, unarmored vehicles, and light shelters.

Roketsan's METE mini laser guided missile is designed and tested. It will be used from unmanned aviation, ground and surface patforms. Infantry on the battlefield will also fire grenade launchers at it

- wrote Demir on his Twitter page.

Developed by Turkish gunsmiths, a miniature high-precision missile, originally dubbed Yatagan, was demonstrated at the IDEF 2019 exhibition in Istanbul. It was renamed this year in honor of Turkish archer Gazoz Mete, who won gold at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

The new ammunition is a laser-guided missile with a length of 40 cm and a caliber of 40 mm. It can be fired from special grenade launchers, including grenade launchers, and hit targets at a distance of up to 1 km. Moreover, the maximum deviation from the target does not exceed one meter.

Google is nasty. Yandex must use .. it is not clear why the author of this publication was in such a hurry?
Rocket caliber 40 mm designed for urban combat. METE can strike light fortifications, vehicles and enemy personnel at a distance of up to one thousand meters. The missile is guided by a laser beam. The manufacturer claims that the maximum deviation from the target does not exceed one meter. The rocket weighs 1,2 kilograms with a length of 500 millimeters.
Do not offend Prof. Dr. İsmail DEMİR (President of the Defense Industry). He wrote everything correctly:

the guided missile will be used as ammunition in the UAV-UAV-IDA, and will also be a shot for the grenade launcher that the personnel are armed with.
Our METE rocket will hit the target from 12 (probably meters), like our Olympic champion, archer Mete Gazoz!

he said.
It used to be called YATAĞAN

and from mortars you can like to shoot her.

Some kind of wagon

[Popandos]

can also be used by infantry

How will the infantryman launch it? Like a paper airplane, threw it and she flew, but will she aim at a laser pointer from a toy store?
Or will they use it to shoot from grenade launchers, if it's so interesting how they implemented it? What launches the rocket engine?

Who knows
You won't understand much from the article

[donavi49]

From a small-sized PU. Maybe there will also be a target designation unit or an external illumination.

[Popandos]

So this is not ammunition for existing weapons, but a light RPG with SD. And this creation is not launched from the grenade launcher, although the caliber is suitable. And the infantryman will carry not only missiles, but also launchers, since the price will not be low, and you cannot throw out a tube. Is it exactly such a system that the infantry needs? Simple RPGs don't work anymore?

[donavi49]

Previously, they presented 2 options - a separate barrel and a special grenade launcher + a bag with missiles.

Again, this is not massive, but for certain people a small-sized, low-power guided missile is quite useful for itself.

[Popandos]

Thank you, now the idea is clearer, but if

it is not massive,

it is expensive, but in the infantry it is necessary, a lot and cheap.
Rather, such a thing will go to the MTR.

[donavi49]

Not necessarily in the MTR. Again, a simple example - Toyota is driving, you need to stop it. Or some murky personalities are clustered around the checkpoint.

That is, it is quite an interesting means of strengthening checkpoints and various bases. Also, individual groups of infantry (not necessarily MTR) during CTO in Kurdistan or any operations in Libya / Somalia.

The projectile itself is inexpensive. There is also nothing there - a simple engine + warhead + hull with drives on the rudders + a penny seeker (which goes to the beam). It is from the calculation of its characteristics. Which thread of the TOU is more expensive.

Did you try to read the article before writing comments?

Mini rocket intended for armament unmanned quadcopters, ground combat platformsand can used by the infantry to defeat enemy personnel, unarmored vehicles, light shelters.

This rocket has a length of almost half a meter. The classic grenade launcher will not work. We call such rockets Bulat.

Belarusians RPG-26 are hung on a quadrocopter.


How do the Turks imagine the use of such UAVs?

[Lech from Android.]

Something painfully similar to the rocket ammunition from a grenade launcher.

[donavi49]

Underbarrel? Well, these are very small nano-missiles. Any fly is many times larger. However, let's say on a target such as a fast-moving pickup truck at 700-800 meters, a platoon with flies will shoot and not one will hit. And such a missile, due to the conduct of a pair, is enough, well, or a triple to guarantee a stop.

Turkey tested a new high-precision mini-rocket to arm drones

Spoon road for dinner. It would come in handy for Erdogan's trip to Putin, not as an argument, but as a little trifle-achievement.

[Sentinel-vs]

Interesting Yataganchik. The Turks are surprisingly showing good achievements in UAVs and ammunition. I wonder what caused this? We started to deal with these issues in time, not yesterday and not the day before yesterday, but when it was not yet a trend? There was no special groundwork, it seems ... Although I was not interested in this issue, correct it if something is wrong.
The legislator in matters of UAVs, of course, was the United States with its Raptor. Then, 10 years ago, everyone was hearing about Israel with its UAVs and guided munitions. But literally two or three years ago, Turkey burst into prime time news, eclipsing Israel.
The USA, Europe and Russia in general are somehow very modest while at the expense of the UAV they light up information about new developments. RF is more forcing the topic of ground robots.

Launch of the import substitution program in the 80s. All the production of cars and spare parts began, in the 00s they switched to weapons. The Baykar company (these are those who make Bayraktar) began their history with the production of spare parts for cars.

Well, I would not say, this is a question of where you get the information. This site contains a maximum of a third of all news on new weapons.

Everyone is forcing.
Here are Turkish designs.

[Klingon]

Well, it is clear where such advanced technologies come from, the sidepieces are clearly visible here
And all these mini rockets are parallel lines from the NLOS knee and so on. Mini only and no optics

[Nikolaevich I]

The Chukchi would say: The trend, however! The United States is actively developing 40-mm guided missiles as weapons for light UAVs, anti-aircraft mini-anti-missiles, ammunition for a grenade launcher ... China is "working" on small-sized missiles ... I heard a Turkish 40-mm rocket a long time ago, in my opinion ...). We still have 40 mm caliber! But let's not worry about this yet ... proudly say: Do we need it?

No, we don't need to.
For our LSIs (Large Integrated Circuits) are the largest microcircuits in the world.
Here, a 57-mm projectile, a controlled detonation, was made - a whole achievement.

[Klingon]

Not only is there no 40mm caliber, there is not even programmable ammunition with controlled detonation, only an ammunition with an UP 57mm loomed on the horizon. This is despite the fact that in NAT for a long time already there is OFZ 30mm with UP and the same mini crowbars with sub-caliber

But how can we poor bast shoes to the Turkish "umishche". Can it be better to compare which types of Russian weapons are in demand on the market and which Turkish ones (except for Bayraktar)? Why does Turkey buy our air defense systems and not make their own? Enough is probably already to teach the Russian military-industrial complex, what and how to do.

[donavi49]

Well, and you can also compare the arms export of a thread of Ukraine or Mongolia and be proud of it tripled.

The Turks are actively working on UAVs, various weapons, wheeled platforms, light-medium tracked platforms, aircraft and shipbuilding.

For example, the Turks are building Ro-Ro for the Far East, a dry dock for nuclear-powered ships and icebreakers for the Baltic.

Turkish Kuzey will become a subcontractor for the construction of two dual-fuel icebreakers for Rosmorport with a total cost of 18,5 billion rubles. Formally, the contract was won by submitting a single application, subordinate to "Rosmorport" Onega plant.
The Turkish shipyard Kuzey Star Shipyard Denizcilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi was declared the winner of the tender for the construction of a floating dock for new nuclear-powered icebreakers of Project 22220 (LK-60Ya) FSUE Atomflot.
The dock under construction will have a carrying capacity of 30 thousand tons. The main dimensions: the maximum length with crinolines - not less than 220 m, the length along the slipway-deck - not less than 200 m, the largest width - about 48 m, the height of the pontoon - about 6 meters. The vessel's autonomy is 7 days. "

Again, for the export of weapons, they have a stable 2+ billion per year:
$ 2.279 billion in 2020 / $ 2.74 billion in 2019 / $ 2.16 billion in 2018.

Among the customers are Hungary, Pakistan, Qatar, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, India (5 supply tankers are being built), Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Morocco, Poland and others.

[riwas]

Turkey is far from being the leader in the development of such weapons, but it actively uses it in various conflicts.
Here is this article for 2013.
https://bukren.my1.ru/publ/ware/vdv_russia_4/2-1-0-69
it is shown that the development of weapons for drones was already in full swing.

I can offer you a topic for example ATGM. For a long time I don’t understand in any way why the same Tulchaks stubbornly rivet modifications of Cornets that hit stupidly in the forehead and even half-shine the goal, although everyone has long known that the upper projection of the tank is the most vulnerable. Where are the Russian analogs of even the same IR darts? Well, what if the GOS from the Needle on the same Cornet can not screw it up and teach him to fly in a parabola? I will not write about analogs of MMR and NLOS at all
