Malaysia Considers Turkish KUZGUN Missiles for Warships
Malaysian Dayatech Merin has shown its concept for a turreted launcher intended for TÜBİTAK SAGE’s KUZGUN missiles to be used on warships. Naval News’ coverage from DSA 2024 includes the Malaysian firm exhibiting scaled models of all three KUZGUN variants: solid-fuel rocket (KY), turbojet (TJ), and gliding (SS) alongside an illustration of a five-tube launcher. The KUZGUN joint modular munition family members boast versatility with interchangeable seeker and warhead modules. The seeker options span laser, IIR, mmW radar, and, in the future, dual (IIR+laser), as reported by Defence Turkiye. Warhead options include multi-purpose, penetration, and thermobaric, offering a wide range of potential applications. The launcher was shown alongside pictures of Malaysian Navy ships in service, such as fast attack craft and corvettes. The solid-fuel rocket-powered variant, KUZGUN KY, was fired from ASELSAN-Sefine JV’s MARLIN armed USV. The missile has a maximum range of 40 km and a ten kg warhead. Work for the other variants is ongoing. In 2023, KUZGUN SS will be integrated into TUSAŞ’s AKSUNGUR UCAV. The unpowered KUZGUN SS will be available to surface platforms with a booster with a range of 40 km and a 14x2 kg warhead. A turbojet-powered KUZGUN TJ with a range of 150 km and a 14 kg warhead is under development. Like KUZGUN SS, it will have to be fitted with a booster for surface launch. This isn’t the first time the KUZGUN family received interest from another country. TÜBİTAK SAGE’s former Director, Gürcan Okumuş, stated that some potential export customers were interested in integrating the KUZGUN KY missile on ground platforms in an interview with Youtuber Kaner Kurt.
