TSAMTO, November 12. According to Turkish media, the head of the Directorate of the Defense Industry of Turkey, Ismail Demir, announced the completion by ROKETSAN of the development of a small-sized METE missile designed to equip UAVs.

According to I. Demir, the METE missile developed by ROKETSAN will be used on board UAVs, ground-based remote-controlled vehicles and surface-mounted unmanned vehicles, as well as units operating on foot using grenade launchers. As noted, the ammunition allows you to hit targets with high accuracy.

The concept of the ammunition was first presented at the IDEF-2019 exhibition under the name "YATAGAN", which was changed to METE after the Turkish archer Mete Gazoz won the Olympic gold medal.

The METE is a 40 mm small-sized laser-guided missile that can be launched from a new generation grenade launcher mounted on an assault rifle.

Currently, the ammunition is offered to the security forces for use in combat operations in populated areas. The missile will ensure the defeat of light defensive structures, unarmored ground vehicles, point unprotected targets, including sniper positions.

As stated, the mass of the METE is only 1.2 kg, which allows it to be used on various platforms. The missile with a diameter of 40 mm is equipped with a semi-active laser GOS and provides the destruction of targets at ranges from 400 to 1000 m with a CVO not exceeding 1 m. Judging by the photos shown by the company, the rocket can be installed on board a quadcopter. The height of the use of ammunition from the side of the UAV is 50-500 m .

When comparing the technical characteristics of YATAGAN and METE, it can be seen that METE is 200 grams heavier and 10 cm longer than the YATAGAN concept presented in 2019.
