UAE begins receiving Cirit missiles

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has received the first batch of Cirit laser-guided rockets it ordered from Turkish company Roketsan in early 2013, national media announced on 5 May.

The first 2,000 of a reported 10,000 missiles ordered have now been delivered to the UAE armed forces, the Daily Sabah newspaper disclosed. The report did not state when the remainder might be handed over.

UAE set to use CiRiT versatility to the full

Turkey's Roketsan has confirmed that "several thousand" of its 2.75 in CiRiT semi-active laser guided missiles have been delivered to Turkey and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Early in 2013 the UAE ordered the CiRiT for a number of applications, with the first deliveries made later in that year to meet an urgent operational requirement (UOR).
At the time of ordering no details of the UAE's planned uses for the CiRiT were disclosed, but these are now understood to include a four round reloadable launcher for use on fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, and a pedestal-mounted version for ground-to-ground applications.

UAE's missiles will equip its Air Tractor turboprop AT-802 Block 1/2 armed reconnaissance/light strike aircraft, 24 of which have been supplied; six of these have subsequently been transferred to Jordan.
This aircraft can be fitted with a variety of weapons, including four launchers, each of which can carry four CiRiT missiles. Targets are designated by on board or ground-based laser systems.
UAE has ordered the ground-based CiRiT variant, in both the trailer-mounted and semi-permanent installation configurations.

These typically feature pods of four CiRiT missiles on either side of a mast-mounted sensor unit, which consists of a thermal imager, day camera, laser rangefinder and laser designator. The system has a remote control launch capability. The pedestal-mounted version can also be configured with Roketsan's Mizrak laser-guided missiles, which have a more powerful warhead.
The CiRiT missile has a conventional layout with a passive SAL seeker in the nose followed by the control unit - which has four swing-out control surfaces - and the guidance section, including the power source. To the rear is the multi-purpose warhead (MPW) that has combined anti-armour and anti-personnel incendiary effect, and finally the rocket motor.

The typical target set for the CiRiT is light armoured vehicles and trucks.
Roketsan has confirmed that the solid propellant rocket motor and its warhead are insensitive munition (IM) compliant, with the former having a reduced smoke signature.
The engagement cycle for the operation of the CiRiT sees the gunner designate the target prior to the missile being launched; post-launch the rocket relies on a MEMS-type inertial measurement unit combined with terminal laser homing.
According to Roketsan, the CiRiT has a minimum range of 1,500 m and a maximum range of 8,000 m. During recent trials involving a mix of stationary and moving targets, the missile achieved a 100% success rate.
The first application of production CiRiT missiles for the Turkish Land Forces Command is with the AH-1P Cobra and AH-1W SUPER Cobra attack helicopters; this will be followed by deployment with the T-129 attack helicopter.

Kasirga Missiles have exactly the same Range of 100 km which Smerch have, a new Variant of the Missile Kasirga-G is guidet by INS/GPS !

I don't talk about the range, I am talking about the missile types.

as expected our S-70B Sea Hawks gonna use MIZRAK-D with a range of 14-16 km it will replace the hellfire and it seems there is another project concerning a new missile similer to penguin with a range of 30 km +

What was the question,which missile?

 

[Bismarck]

A little bit more amphibious. For example 'Smerch'- Missiles.BM-30 Smerch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mizrak family missiles

Mizrak-ER (12km)- Denel Mokopha equivalent (Tested but Not passed into serial prduction cause of effectivity compared with 8km variant )
Mizrak-U (8km) -T-129 Atak main missile (Mizrak U has two variant. Mizrak- UL and UIIR)-Hellfire equivalent
Mizrak-O (4km) - Vehicle mounted tripod missile-TOW equivalent
Mizrak-TE (2,5km) -One soldier launchable portable missile-Javelin equivalent
Mizrak-D Block-I (16km) -Naval variant Hellfire equivalent
Mizrak-D Block-II (30km)-Naval variant Penguin equivalent

Thanks, sometimes all these different names can be so confusing.

I might make that list my signature so that way everyone remembers them.

These had different names a year ago, fvck it, nevermind the names just know which is which.

16 Km would be comperable to JAGM for example, it's not necessarily a "naval variant"
but a "network-centric warfare" variant

keep in mind that T129's are coming with the DATALINK ability that allows them to establish direct connection to nearby UAVs.

Note for Mizrak-ER.

It is tested but Not planned to pass into serial prduction cause of less effectivity of warhead compared with 8km variant on Atak. If It is required, Roketsan may develop more advanced propulson/bigger missile to extend the range more than 12km like They are doing for Mizrak-D without playing warhead. It is also possibile to integrate Mizrak-D on Atak but I don't suppose because More range comes with more weight. More weight on Atak will cause less hight-hot performance. 8km is more than enough for attack copters and It is considered same at almost all NATO states.
