TR Defence Exports & Updates

I mean, it can attack from the top, I'd call that guided in comparison to something like M4 or RPG-7 or our favorite M72-LAW.

NLAW's top attack mode is different than Javelin. It's fired near the enemy vehicle, flies over it and detonates with a proximity sensor. It can also be used with a regular fuse for direct attack. Basically:

Karaok showed excellent performance in tests. It has up to 2.5km in top attack mode and a 4km ballistic flight range. Interest in Karaok is really high. Multiple contracts already signed or in the signing process.

That has got to be up there with the best atgms. I hope they start serial production soon and then increase it right away

So, maybe @Zafer should start a karaok users map

Why not, but it should get exciting before we start watching.

Pakistan to acquire anti-tank guided weapon systems from Turkish maker, co-production also on cards


New Delhi: Cementing defence ties further, Pakistan is in the process of buying anti-tank guided weapon systems (ATGWs) from its long-term ally Turkey, ThePrint has learnt.

According to sources in the defence and security establishment, Islamabad is also considering co-production of the ATGWs along with the Turkish weapons manufacturer Roketsan.

Just a moment…

Edit- Note that print is a credible source.

Would that be UMTAS or KARAOK?

I think neither, probably Omtas.

French are surprisingly ahead compared to other European countries.

Akbaba also mentions Karaok sale to Poland being already signed. Haven't seen anything regarding this so just keeping it as a possibility for now.

what is that vehicle used as a target?

what is that vehicle used as a target?

Looks like an M48 Patton with original 90mm gun.

what is that vehicle used as a target?

Some say M47.

Thank you @Zafer

@Zafer I think it would be more inclusive if you make the map about Turkish ATGM in general. Some countries may prefer one over another. So, Karaok, Omtas and Umtas all would be included.

If you guys provide the data I will do the charting.

Am I the only one who think this isnt a great idea?

This is turning into Oryx which was great tool for Semi competent intelligence agencies around the world. We shouldn't have such information easily available, Yes they can make find same information with a google search But We are giving them easy location to track this information. @Zafer

For them, basic information is not interesting. Because they will want the details of the agreements. You cannot find the details of such agreements in the forums. In forums, at most, there are little crumbs that leak from the background. Nothing more. This does not satisfy them.

I don't mean to be catalogueing many things. Personally I would only chart a few impactful and iconic products that make a success story for all of us to watch. A manpad tank killer is one such weapon but platform launched ones are not that iconic. Karaok has not made a succes story yet but we want to give it some cheering on a first export sales even before it hit mass production.
