Secretary of Turkish Defence Industries Haluk Görgün stated that ROKETSAN’s ATMACA UM ground-launched land attack cruise missile reached a range of 400 km.
During the 2024 Evaluation and 2025 Goals press meeting, Secretary of Turkish Defence Industries (SSB) Professor Haluk Görgün disclosed the range of ATMACA UM (KARA ATMACA) cruise missiles as 400 km.
ATMACA UM will serve as the alternative land-based long-range missile alongside the BORA and TAYFUN ballistic missiles.
ATMACA UM was test-fired from ROKETSAN’s universal MLRS platform mounted on a Koluman DERMAN 8x8 vehicle towards the end of 2024. Equipped with the Kale Jet Engines' KTJ-3700 turbojet engine and IIR seeker with DSMAC capability, ATMACA UM successfully hit a container target on the sea.
The missile is longer than the baseline ATMACA anti-ship missile, which is used by Turkish Navy warships such as Ada-class corvettes and upgraded Barbaros-class frigates.
Some changes were made to hit land targets, such as terrain hugging and IIR seeker alongside a heavier warhead against hardened targets.
Turkiye is also developing the GEZGİN cruise missile for longer ranges, which can be launched from warships, submarines, fighters, and possibly land platforms.
