ATMACA UM Cruise Missile Hits the Target Directly
The new version of ATMACA Anti-Ship Missile, ATMACA UM (Formerly KARA ATMACA), hit the container target on the sea with a range record in the family.

The missile used its IIR seeker to cruise towards the target, two containers stacked vertically on the sea, scoring a direct hit. While the IIR seeker is shorter-ranged than the original RF seeker, it has better discrimination capabilities and allows for low-level cruising on varying terrain.

As a missile primarily meant to hit ground targets, ATMACA UM must be able to cruise through changing terrain, which requires better imaging. Another important part of the test is that the missile was fired from the indigenous KOLUMAN DERMAN 8x8 truck, a change from the Russian KAMAZ-type trucks used in previous tests.
