TRG-300 / TRLG-300

Turkish Guided missiles are denoted by the “TRG” acronym followed by the diameter (in mm) of the missile: currently these are the TRG-122, TRG-230 and TRG-300 families as well as the BORA (KHAN) 610mm conventional SRBMs. After the TRLG-230 development, remaining families should also get Laser guided versions. In practice TRG-122 may be deemed too small to be in the priority list. However the TRG-300 “Tiger” missile has the perfect size and range for Laser guidance. We are convinced the TRLG-300 version will be next in line.

TRG-300 Guided Missile provides accurate and effective fire power on high priority targets within the ranges 20 - 120 km. TRG-300 Guided Missile can be launched from ROKETSAN Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher [MBRL] Weapon System and other platforms with compatible interfaces. TRG-300 is offered in two different variants (BLOCK I & II) with ranges of 120km / 90km respectively. Both variants have considerable destructive capacity due to their 105kg / 190kg warheads, plus high kinetic energy on impact.

The T-300 is a MRL platform capable of launching 4 300 mm rockets in one volley. No weather, climate or adverse environmental conditions are considered an obstacle for the operation of MRL. Thanks to these features, it is possible to load the MRL with ammunition in the shortest possible time and make it ready for battle under any conditions, as well as to deliver a crushing blow to the targets.

The F-302T Launcher of the T-300 system, which can use several types of ammunition, can be loaded with missiles of the appropriate type depending on the current threat and the tasks to be performed. The T-300 MRL can fire volleys of 300 mm missiles to provide accurate and timely fire from the close combat zone to critical targets located deep in enemy defenses. This MRL was developed in a universal construction to use the same caliber rockets that will be delivered to armament by ROKETSAN in the future.

In order to enable the T-300 MRL to be used at full efficiency, the batteries are equipped with Command Control, Ammunition Supply, Meteorology and Repair and Recovery Vehicles in addition to the Launchers. These auxiliary elements enable the system to meet even the most critical demands placed on MRL by the customers while fulfilling the tasks of both the battery and the division.

The weapon control system of the Command Control Station has an infrastructure and interface that allows the T-300 battery to be integrated with other modern artillery systems and other combat control stations. The T-300 system can operate together with special target detection RLS and various types of UAVs.

ROKETSAN company was established on June 14, 1988 by the decision of the Turkish Defense Industry Executive Committee with the aim of meeting the ammunition and missile needs of the Turkish Armed Forces, and having a leading institution in the field of missile and ammunition design, development and production in the country. As of the end of 2019, ROKETSAN, which took its first steps with the local production of composite fuel flight engines from TAIRK's critical subsystems within the international "Stinger European Joint Production Project" program, is already ranked 89th among the world's well-known defense industry companies.

Roketsan, the Turkish leader in the production of ammunition and missiles, has expanded its range of products to include land, air and sea weapons systems, and now includes missiles, guided munitions, launchers, volley systems, rocket fuels, detection, targeting and control systems, warheads, mechanical parts etc. produces, as well as algorithms, systems software, integration of weapons and systems into land, air, sea and underwater platforms, logistics services, development of satellite launch systems, etc. realize.

Back in the early 90s, Turkey was negotiating with a number of countries, including France , Israel and China, for the creation of YARS, regarding the acquisition of new technologies and joint production. In these negotiations, China's proposals were considered more attractive in terms of solving both financial and technological problems. The TRG-300 Tiger MBRL is based on Chinese WS-1 (Wei Shi; Guardian), with some modifications on the design with launcher very similar to the WS-1B 's launcher. In 1997, an agreement was signed with CPMIEC (Chinese Precision Machinery Import and Export Company) for the joint development and manufacture of an offshoot of the WS-1 system. The Kasirga system was first commissioned in the year 2000.

In 2016, the TRG-300 Tiger system was sold to Azerbaijan. Turkiye has delivered 18 TRG-300 MLRS to Bangladesh Land Forces. In March 2019, ROKETSAN secured a contract to supply a regiment of medium-range guided multiple rocket launchers to Bangladesh. According to the statement given by the Bangladesh Chief of General Staff, 18 units had been delivered to the Bangladesh Army in June 2021.
