TRG-230 is a family of guided missiles of 230-mm diameter designed and manufactured by Turkish company Roketsan.[2][3] The original variants are surface-to-surface missiles, and an air-to-surface variant is being tested. TRG-230 missiles have a range of 20 km to 70 km[2][3] and are launched from 230-mm rocket tubes. The TRLG-230 variant has laser guidance. The air-launched TRG-230-İHA has a range up to 150 km.

Synopsis

The TRG-230 missile is designed to be used against high-priority targets within a range of 20–70 km. It can be launched from the Roketsan Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher and other platforms with compatible interfaces.[2][3]

Variants

TRLG-230

The TRLG-230 has an additional seeker for laser guidance. It can hit targets marked by UAVs and UCAVs. Its CEP is less than two meters.[4]

TRG-230-İHA

The TRG-230-İHA is an air-to-surface version that is launched from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV; Turkish: İHA). After release from a UAV, it free-falls for a while, then autonomously ignites its solid propellant engine.[5] It has an effective range of 20 to 150 kilometers,[6] depending on the height and speed at which it is launched.[5] Roketsan released a video on 16 December 2022 announcing that a Bayraktar Akıncı UCAV made the first test launch, hitting the target with precision from 100 kilometers away.[6][7] The second test launch, from an Akıncı three months later, hit a target from 140 kilometers.[8]
