Turkish Engine for MANSUP-ER Anti-Ship Missile
Within the scope of the agreement, which laid the foundations for a long-term cooperation, the KTJ-3200 Turbojet Missile Engine, which was originally developed by Kale Jet Engines, will be integrated into the MANSUP-ER Anti-Ship Missile produced by SIAAT, and engine supply will be carried out.
According to the information obtained by SavunmaSanayiST.com, SIAAT, a subsidiary of the UAE-based EDGE Group, aims to offer MANSUP-ER to the UAE Naval Forces inventory soon. It is also evaluated that the KTJ-3200 Turbojet Missile Engine will be used in the missiles that will enter the UAE Naval Forces inventory.
First Jet Engine Export
Evaluating the export success, President of the Presidency of Defense Industries, Prof. Dr. Haluk Görgün**, made the following statements: “*Within the scope of the LAAD Defense & Security Fair held in Brazil, our company Kale Jet Motorları, which develops turbine missile engines with domestic and national resources, signed a contract with the Brazilian defense industry company SIATT for the export of turbojet missile engines.*
*This agreement is not just an export success; it is also a concrete manifestation of Turkey’s vision of developing high-tech, high value-added products and increasing its global competitiveness. The Turkish defense industry has now reached a structure that not only meets its own needs but also offers advanced technology systems to friendly and allied countries.*
*While increasing the localization rate in our defense industry on the one hand, strengthening our effectiveness in international markets and consolidating our country’s position as a technology exporter are among our top priorities. In this context, I sincerely congratulate all industry employees who contributed.*
*We will continue our determination to make Turkey a global leader in the defense industry by further increasing our cooperation with friendly and allied countries with our national technologies.”*
MANSUP-ER Anti-Ship Missile
MANSUP-ER is an anti-ship missile that is an important component of Brazil’s defense strategy. The missile is being developed to have a range of 200+ kilometers and a warhead of 150 kilograms.
KTJ-3200 Turbojet Missile Engine
KTJ-3200, developed by Kale Jet Motorları within the scope of the “Turbojet Engine Development Project” initiated by the Presidency of Defense Industries, is Turkey’s first indigenous turbojet missile engine.
The KTJ-3200, which powers the ATMACA Anti-Ship Missile developed by Roketsan and the SOM Cruise Missile developed by TÜBİTAK-SAGE, differs from its counterparts with its low specific fuel consumption. It is known that the relevant country imposed an embargo on the turbojet missile engine, which was used in both SOM and ATMACA missiles before KTJ-3200 and supplied from abroad.
