SPECIAL | Roketsan Will Introduce ÇAKIR Missile Tomorrow!

TEI manager Akşit once told there was a diameter requirement and they had to develop TJ300 at this diameter. So I understood that Navy only wants a medium range antiship missile but with this crazy requirement they created something more than they wanted and they are not aware of the potential…. Mind boggling or I am exaggerating a bit maybe this engine is way above OMGSF….Turkish Navy likes Penguin, in fact even attempted to get an upgrade kit for aged Penguins to keep them active (however konsberg hasn't supplied any). They will definitely love the OMGFS. Longer range, better seeker, better engine, in a lower diameters, these are good bonuses.
It doesn't need to reach ranges of the Atmaca, made to be carried by light platforms and possibly will be on par with NSM, it is a plus feature to be launched from Helicopters, UAVs and USVs thanks to its lower diameter and lower weight (thus the lower warhead). The canisters will also be smaller than NSM (Roketsan is working on a new canister- launcher specially for this).
Yeah, it seems like OMGSF and the Multi-Purpose missile project are merged and now ÇAKIR became a multi-purpose missile. ÇAKIR abbreviation must be something like "Çok Amaçlı KIzılötesi Roket" (Multi Purpose Infrared Rocket)SPECIAL | Roketsan Will Introduce ÇAKIR Missile Tomorrow!

I think a frigate sized target needs at least 2-3 Atmaca to sink. To penetrate air defense maybe 10 Atmacas are needed. We can combine OMGSF or derivative with Atmaca and strike with maybe 30 missiles to overwhelm the target. I think about Aegis-like ability targets with CIWS sailing with their flotilla/task force.From all info available at the moment, one can say that CAKIR is an economical “Swiss Knife” of anti ship missiles. One size fits all.
But as a Swiss-Knife it is never going to be as effective as a full size Anti Ship misssile like a SOM-C or an Atmaca. it is small and may not have enough explosive to sink a frigate unless you are very lucky. Against FAC sized boats and small corvettes it may prove to be the right missile to use.
As a replacement of Penguin, it will seemingly surpass Penguin in all aspects. So with our helicopters operating from our frigates and corvettes as well as TCG Anadolu, our ships will have a deadly missile in their armoury.
We will find out a little more of it’s range and destructive power when it’s specifications are revealed, provided Roketsan is not too conservative or secretive.
Depends where you hit. A lucky hit to the fuel depot or armory can make all the difference.I think a frigate sized target needs at least 2-3 Atmaca to sink.

Light smart torpedo+TJ300+some wing kit could be also possible. Land them near targets outside CIWS range and watch the show.
No no, I don’t mean or want lucky shots. We (navy) must think of statistics before engagement so the more numerous smart and longer range missiles the better.Depends where you hit. A lucky hit to the fuel depot or armory can make all the difference.
You dont need to sink the frigate as any ship hit by 100kg of HE just 1m above the water line will take the ship out of service for long time.I think a frigate sized target needs at least 2-3 Atmaca to sink.

Is it a Surface to air missile? And if so, what are its specs?
