Before the IDEF25 defence exhibition, ROKETSAN gave a peek into a rather unique looking munition described as being multi-purpose and having high speed.
The upcoming multi-purpose munition appears to have a turbojet engine as seen from the nozzle and inlets. Additionally, the optical seeker (Unknown if TV or IIR) is also seen from the teaser.
The details and ROKETSAN’s description hint at a jet-powered loitering munition that can be launched like a missile from surface or air platforms and engage both surface and air targets using the optical seeker.
A similar work to this prediction is the Coyote Block 2 of Raytheon, which is also powered by a small turbojet engine and is intended for use against UAVs. However, it should be noted that Coyote Block 2 uses a mmWR seeker instead of an optical one.
It is known from the previous teasers that ROKETSAN will also unveil an artillery rocket or ballistic missile, which appears to be an aeroballistic missile, a ramjet-powered missile, and an underwater launch capsule.
