ground-to-ground missile that is able to
provide mass fire power on high payoff
targets within the area of influence of
the army. The missile, which entered the
inventory of the Turkish Armed Forces

in military circles for its range, firing pre-
cision and effectiveness. According to
company officials, the missile can provide
sustained and effective firepower and is
a 24/7 “ready to fire” system that can be
used in any weather or on any terrain.
