Turkish defense giant ASELSAN has entered into an agreement with Ukrainian defense company LUCH to co-operate on the development of modern rocket launcher system for light armored vehicles.

According to the ASELSAN’s statement Thursday, Ukrainian-made Skif missile was successfully integrated into ASELSAN’s rocket launcher system.

ASELSAN and Ukrainian defense company LUCH have been working on the integration for the last six months.

The system has passed two tests, successfully hitting targets at a range of 5 kilometers (3.1 miles).

Ukrainian “SKIF” antitank missile system is intended to destroy man power, stationary and moving armored targets with combined, carried or monolithic armor, including explosive reactive armor (ERA), as well as pinpoint targets like weapon emplacements, light-armored objects and helicopters.

The system’s feature lies in its possibility to aim the missiles at a target from closed emplacements and shelters that reduces the risk of the gunner destruction by reply fire attack of the enemy.
