Yes! With the laser guidance this missile can hit moving targets 150km away.So it is called TRLG300 ? Right ?
Thermobarec serial production and C4 explosive quantity to be increased to 80kg.
I remember that someone shared the reason for increase in range is due to a pantent running out. So the ammo head can be fitted with a disc that enables the increase in range.
Expanding the range is great and a much needed project, especially if we can reach 72km with our Firtina SPH. Another project I would like to see is a indirect fire top attack shell in the same vain as Bonus or SMArt.
The 56km (trials are at the end of this year) and 72km shells will probably be 155mm ammunition with precision guidance GPS/INS kits and maybe laser options in further blocks and can be fired from Fırtına-1/2, Yavuz SPHs. MKE first announced its work on 155mm guided munitions with its own resources in 2017.
When these munitions go into production, they will probably be delivered in 4digit numbers and will be much cheaper in cost than their equivalents. As such, the TAF will have an enormous cost/effective fire superiority and continuous production capability in war times.

we have to RAMP UP our cluster munition capabilities yesterday! something to replace those Matra Durandals in the TAF inventory would also be nice, but thats another thread's topic.One project where we are dragging our feet on, are cluster munitions for our 155mm - Greece has a large stockpile of 155mm Bonus Cluster Muntions
It calls 'Yavuz'?First prototype of 8x8 truck mounted Panter will be produced until the end of this year.

I saw this being posted on the internet. If there's one thing we have learned in the Ukraine war, it's that time to deployment and how fast you can scoot away can make a big difference against opponents with equal-ish artillery and with counter battery radars are very important.
So my question would be, does anyone know how long it takes to fire and to pack up and leave after firing? How fast can they be replenished? Same story for our howitzers.
