Zitat:Roketsan’s Cirit attracts worldwide attention
Celebrated as Turkey’s first indigenously-developed guided missile system, Cirit (Jareed) has managed to attract worldwide attention at the IDEF 2011 international defence industry fair in Istanbul.
Developed by Roketsan, one of Turkey’s fastest growing defence firms and a prominent national center for weapons R&D, Cirit is a 70mm-diameter, lightweight, semi-active laser guided missile designed to be fired from primarily attack helicopters against lightly-armored and unarmored vehicles, as well as formations of ‘soft’ targets. Cirit fully complies with the highest NATO standards of MIL-STD 810 and MIL-STD 464, as well as MIL-STD 1760 for its M or LAU-type launcher interface. Capable of high precision strike with a circular error probable (CEP) of only a few centimeters, Cirit is also capable of tracking and destroying moving targets up to 8,000 meters from its launch point.
