The TANOK is a 120 mm gun-launched laser-guided anti-tank missile developed by the Turkish defense company Roketsan. It is intended to provide tank cannons and other artillery guns with a anti-tank guided missile capability.[1][2]
Development
[edit | edit source]The missile was designed to meet the requirements of the Turkish Armed Forces and was first publicly displayed at IDEF 2019.[3]
Design
[edit | edit source]The TANOK missile is guided by a semi-active laser (SAL) seeker, which is cited to provide a high probability of hitting both stationary and moving targets throughout its operational range. It carries a tandem anti-tank warhead and is designed to strike targets using both direct-attack and top-attack profiles; the latter mode is intended to exploit the typically less protected top armor of heavy armored vehicles and fortifications. The missile is primarily designed to be fired from 120 mm tank cannons without requiring modifications, and its soft-launch system also allows it to be deployed from various other land-based and portable platforms.[3][4]
