TRG-230-İHA

The TRG-230-İHA is an air-to-surface version that is launched from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV; tr, İHA). After release from a UAV, it free-falls for a while, then autonomously ignites its solid propellant engine. It has an effective range of 20 to 150 kilometers, depending on the height and speed at which it is launched. Roketsan released a video on 16 December 2022 announcing that a Bayraktar Akıncı UCAV made the first test launch, hitting the target with precision from 100 kilometers away. The second test launch, from an Akıncı three months later, hit a target from 140 kilometers.
