S&H magazine reports from the Eurosatory where Roketsan revealed the latest news around the Umtas and Omtas missiles. Both missiles will enter TAF inventory in 2013.

Umtas range is 8km, Omtas range is 4km.
The UMTAS finished her helicopter launch tests on both Cobra AH-1P and Cobra AH-1W (super cobra) and is near to ready with an IIR seeker. For the UMTAS there is also planned to have a SAL seeker (Semi Active Lazer), the same like CIRIT missile to make the UMTAS interoperable with CIRIT on platforms with the same guidance system (helicopters aswel as land systems). The UMTAS SAL option is also offered to S. Korea in her AH-X tender where the T-129 competes.

Roketsan is also working on UMTAS version for sea platforms, initial agreements have been made with Yonca Onuk shipyard. Another version is the UMTAS extended range with a smaller warhead and longer range.


Roketsan further reports that she has made conciderable progress on the Ramjet roket motor and vows that new missiles will be developed based on Ramjet and UMTAS technology (long range land missiles and air to ground missiles)

Semdinly perhaps?

Yep, Semdinli. Where 115+ terrorists were killed under two weeks.

I'm definitely more interested in this beast than the two barrel AR. 4 door Cobra.
