Karaok Turkish Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM)

The Karaok Turkish Anti-Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) is a portable system that works effectively both day and night, thanks to its Imaging Infrared Seeker. The Karaok utilizes this Imaging Infrared (IIR) seeker, which provides fire-and-forget capability. This means that the operator can disengage immediately after firing, as the missile will autonomously lock onto and track the target until impact. This guidance system enhances hit probability while reducing the operator's exposure to enemy fire, especially in nighttime or low-visibility conditions. The Karaok offers two attack profiles: a direct attack for frontal engagements and a top attack designed to strike the upper sections of armored vehicles, which are usually less protected. The missile features a tandem charge shaped explosive warhead specifically engineered to penetrate modern reactive armor. This munition can defeat passive defense systems, such as Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA), by first neutralizing the outer layer, allowing it to penetrate the main armor. Consequently, the Karaok is effective against the latest generation of main battle tanks as well as various types of armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles.
