ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s state-controlled missile maker, Roketsan, has set out to an ambitious program to produce the country’s first surface-to-surface, laser-guided missile.
The 230mm TRGL-230 will largely be used in Turkey’s overseas military operations, officials said. The missile is expected to complement Turkey’s unarmed TB2 Akinci drone fleet, with the UAV designating a target and the TRGL-230 launching from the ground to hit the target.

The TB2 is a medium-altitude, long-endurance, tactical UAV developed and built by Kale-Baykar, a joint venture of Baykar Makina and the Kale Group. It can perform reconnaissance and intelligence missions, and recently Baykar Makina launched a naval version of the TB2. The Turkish military is currently operating 75 TB2 drones, mainly in its fight against Kurdish militants in Turkey and along its borders with Iraq and Syria.
Turkey keeps troops in northeastern Syria and northern Iraq to combat Kurdish separatist guerrillas holed up in mountainous terrain in Iraq and flat terrain in Syria. Turkey, the United States and the European Union have designated Kurdish fighters as a terrorist organization. The group has been fighting Turkey for autonomy. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the violence that began in 1984.
Turkish drones are also widely used in the Libyan civil war. Turkey sends military equipment and personnel in support of the Tripoli-based government of Fayez al-Sarraj, prime minister of the Libyan Government of National Accord.
