The first Turkish anti-tank missile successfully tested

During tests of the first Turkish-made anti-tank missile called UMTAS, the prototype successfully hit the target.

Work on the UMTAS project ("Uzun Menzilli Tanksavar Füze" - "Long-range anti-tank missile"), created to meet the needs of the army in anti-tank missiles by the Turkish industry, began in September 2008. Thanks to this project, the UMTAS missiles for T-129 ATAK helicopters will be available to the Turkish army.

According to a press release published by the defense company Roketsan in January 2013, UMTAS missile systems designed for use from helicopters are able to effectively withstand the main combat tanks and in many respects superior to similar anti-tank systems.

The first field tests in this project were held in July 2012, the prototype of the guided missile hit the target at a distance of 5 kilometers. Field trials will continue this year.

The Turks are all trying to make their military-industrial complex independent and self-sufficient, against the background of successes in small arms, their rocket science will also probably have commercial goals, a cheap and high-quality product, wait and see!

[Geisenberg]

They are preparing for war. That’s the whole secret. To global war, therefore, they mold everything they can.

[Wedmak]

Oh, the distant anti-tank. I wonder how many kilometers this range is expressed.

[OTAKE]

from 0.5 to 8 km.

[tronin.maxim]

Probably this rocket is already a rebel in Syria! Experiencing probably reptiles.

[Geisenberg]

And you thought where they will test it?

[Windbreak]

Have their helicopters already appeared? This is not a portable ATGM.

this is outdated news !!!
and far from the first anti-tank missile !!
March 19 2013

The Turkish Armed Forces have successfully tested the UMTAS anti-tank missile, developed by the state-owned missile industry company ROKETSAN.

One of the features of the UMTAS missile, superior to other anti-tank guided missiles, is the ability to mount it to combat helicopters.

During the exercises, ballistic and controlled missiles were tested. UMTAS missile accurately hit a target located at a distance of 5 kilometers.

It should be noted that recently ROKETSAN and the Armed Forces of the United Arab Emirates entered into a contract for the supply of laser-guided CİRİT missiles to the UAE, the production of which is specialized in the Turkish state-owned missile industry company ROKETSAN.

United Arab Emirates purchased laser-guided Cirit anti-tank missiles from the Turkish company Roketsan, reports Defense News. The deal amounted to 196,3 million dollars. According to the Turkish company, missiles for the UAE will be produced according to the amended design, so that the ammunition exactly matches the technical requirements of the customer. What changes will receive Cirit missiles, not specified.

Alibek, you seem to be "closer" to Turkey. Is there anything more specific about these complexes? Did they get into the press behind the Turkish cordon? Let's upload it here with Russian translation

[Yarbay]

According to Huseyn Baysak, Director General of ROKETSAN, military of a number of countries have already expressed interest in these missiles. Azerbaijan, however, has expressed interest in their joint production.

“One of them that we are currently working on is the UMTAS long-range anti-tank missile system. UMTAS can be used from a helicopter to hit any target on the ground, including a tank. This is a fully national ROKETSAN product. ” Huseyn Baysak added that testing of UMTAS will be completed in 2012, then its mass production is planned.

Another ROKETSAN product is a medium-range anti-tank missile system (not more than 4 km) - OMTAS. It can be mounted on a vehicle and can be used to destroy any tank. Its serial production is planned for 2013.

UMTAS missiles have a caliber of 160 mm and a weight of 37,5 kg. A missile with a length of 1750 mm can be used to hit a target at a distance of up to 8 km.

It should be noted that during the development of the rocket, Boeing was noted and that despite the IIR and GOS with laser illumination, nowhere is it noted that the rocket "fired and forgot".

They have a territorial dispute with Iran over the islands. And with whom is Russia fighting? :) what then can we not buy rockets and planes?

[MacTavish]

Well, that's how production will be adjusted and we'll see what kind of rocket or New Year’s firecracker is there

[Yeraz]

So they will create well at home, equip the army with their weapons and buy less from the West.

[mansur]

Only a question against whom it is used

[Rumi007]

Well, for example, Azerbaijan has signed an agreement with Turkey on the purchase and production of these missiles. It's not hard to guess against whom.

[Ruslan_F38]

They don’t need Turkey, as well as any other weapons - it will be easier for Russia to put Ertogan’s staff lackey! They wanted the Ottoman Empire - let them moderate their ambitions. It is not clear why Ajalan urged to abandon the armed struggle - apparently the Turks tried. No wonder the Turkish military is still trying to overthrow the Turkish regime, apparently not everything is going smoothly there, most likely they don’t like the US-dependent policy of the Turkish elite. So this is not good news. God forbid they will use it against Syria.

[OTAKE]

Can't put it in place yet! Sciatica tortured!

[darksoul]

Turks do ATGMs, Azerbaijanis have large-caliber sniper rifles with a caliber of 23,5mm ..... why the world is heading

[avensis]

The Turks with their neo-Ottomanism will overstrain again, just as it happened with the Porta. Well, okay ... let the kids indulge in new toys: "and in many respects are superior to similar anti-tank systems." - yeah, who do not take it - always superior to everyone

[Baboon]

Why only Turks? From Iran, ideas of the idea of ​​Greater Iran are also heard, from the Middle East, the ideas of the Caliphate.
