Turkish Missile Programs

"It's time for very long range missiles..."

For me this means we produced these missiles or we are working on it... Because he talked about 2.500 km @ a TÜBİTAK meeting 1 or 2 years before...

Also we can say long range missile has no connection with High Speed Train... He talked about missiles however subject was not that...

So i think some info about missiles reached him that's why he wanted to say it...

Well I guess we need to come some up with a new solutio. Overtime many countries will have these types of counter measures.


According to this the russian arena active protection system also protects from top attacks
Active protection systems APS

I remember a few years ago a Russian demonstrating the rpg 32 to the Jordanians saying that the RPG 32 could get enhanced to defeat APS by adding a precursor round in addition to the main round. It can even get more enhanced by tripling the rounds. It is a similar concept to the RPG 30 design. However, if recall correctly, the plan was to consecutively launch both round from the same launcher tube unlike the RPG 30.

Here's the RPG 30

The RPG-30 was unveiled in 2008 by the State Research and Production Enterprise, Bazalt as a modern anti-tank grenade launcher designed to address the challenge of reactive armor and active protection systems (APS) on tanks. Active protection systems such as ARENA-E, Drozd and Trophy defeat anti-armor munitions by destroying them before they reach their target. The RPG-30 is an intended response to the introduction of these systems. The RPG-30 has cleared its testing program and is waiting to be included in the Russian state arms procurement program as of November 2008. Taken into service in 2012-2013.

The Russian State Research and Production Enterprise (SPE) have unveiled the latest RPG, the RPG-30. The system has been designed with one purpose: to bypass Western (and no doubt Chinese) active protection systems and possibly reactive armor.

It uses a very clever system. A small rocket is launched from a secondary tube (mounted on the side of the main tube) moments before the 105mm PG-30 round. The smaller caliber round activate the active protection system early (and possibly detonate reactive armor) allowing the PG-30 round to smash through the armor plating. A simple and clever idea.

The system weights 10.3 kg

MOSCOW, Nov. 19. (Korr.ARMS-TASS). A leading global developer in the area of munitions, the State Research and Production Enterprise (SPE), “Basalt, completed the development and testing of new anti-tank rocket RPG-30. This system is anti-tank weapons capable of overcoming any active protection systems (KAZ) vehicle created so far in various countries.

As explained korr.ARMS-TASS military experts, RPG-30 is designed for single use and represents a double device. In the large-diameter cylindrical container placed tandemnaya cumulative anti-grenade PG-30 caliber 105 mm. In the container of smaller diameter, located below, is a special projectile – a false goal. His appointment – to activate when podlete means of active air defense and create conditions for smooth penetration to the goal of the primary means of destruction
