Integration of CİRİT Missile to pick-up from Roketsan: Extraordinary​


Javelin-Missile-Pick-Up


Roketsan has created a new product by integrating the CİRİT Missile into a pick-up vehicle. Pick-ups with the CİRİT Missile will meet special needs.
The Turkish defense industry continues to meet the needs coming from the field with the solutions it presents. In this context, Roketsan has integrated the CİRİT Laser Guided Missile and the accompanying systems onto an armored pick-up vehicle. The CİRİT Missile Armored Pick-Up, offered to the use of security units, was developed within the scope of special needs set forth for special missions.

The armored pick-up is equipped with 4 ready-to-fire CİRİT Laser Guided Missiles, ASELSAN KARAKURT Electro-Optical Sensor System for both reconnaissance/surveillance and laser pointing needs required for the CİRİT Missile , Anti-Jam GNSS against electronic warfare and advanced user consoles.
The CİRİT Missile Armored Pick-Up, which has a much lighter structure compared to wheeled and tracked armored vehicles, is expected to be actively used especially in 'hit-and-run' operations. The Turkish Armed Forces and the National Intelligence Organization generally destroy vehicles used by members of separatist organizations abroad with fighter jets or UAVs. While relatively heavy armored vehicles with limited mobility are not preferred for these missions, the CİRİT Missile Armored Pick-Up has presented an alternative in this area.

CİRİT Laser Guided Missile​

The CİRİT Missile, which is used intensively by air, land and sea platforms, has a range of 8 kilometers, a length of 1.9 meters, a weight of 15 kilograms, a diameter of 70 mm and a semi-active laser seeker head. CİRİT, which includes high-explosive, multi-purpose or thermobaric warhead options, can be effective against lightly armored vehicles.
The CİRİT Missile was developed to fill the gap between anti-tank missiles and 70mm rockets. Roketsan has exported the CİRİT, which is actively used by the Turkish Armed Forces, to many countries.


There is a lot of export potential for this I think, especially in usage of places with irregular units or places with hybridized warfare. And even with Forces that can't buy more expensive platforms. Potential exports in Libya, Somalia, Syria and many other places.
