Turkey's first domestic made antitank long-range missile UMTAS, manufactured by ROKETSAN, can hit targets five kilometers away with full precision.
Sources at ROKETSAN told the Anadolu Agency (AA) that the Long Range Antitank Missile (UMTAS) Project had been initiated to meet the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) by national means.
With its sophisticated high performance warhead, UMTAS will be highly effective against the armors of tanks and concrete bunkers.
UMTAS will also be used as antitank missiles in ATAK helicopters of Turkey.

Zitat:Top Turkish Firm Develops First Local Friend-or-Foe Gear
ANKARA — Turkey’s largest defense company — Aselsan Elektronik Sanayi ve Ticaret — has successfully developed the country’s first indigenous identification friend-or-foe (IFF) system, and delivered the first prototypes to the Turkish military.
Two prototype electronic systems were delivered to the armed forces last month and mark a “first-time achievement” for Turkey’s local industry, officials and analysts here said. “This puts Turkey into a small list of seven countries that have the capabilities to manufacture IFF systems,” Aselsan CEO Cengiz Ergeneman told reporters.
Aselsan signed a contract with Turkey’s Ministry of National Defense in December 2006 to design, develop and manufacture the prototypes. The contract price for the prototypes is classified.
