Supersonic IHA-230 Hits Maritime Target

Global Military Forum

Operational review of Turkey's first mass-production delivery of the Roketsan IHA-230 air-launched supersonic ballistic missile. The tactical footage showcases underwing deployment from a Bayraktar Akinci heavy unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) and tracks its flight path to a high-speed terminal impact. We break down how this 150+ km standoff weapon establishes a cost-effective alternative to complex cruise missiles for regional defense forces.  Expert Insight:  By morphing a field-proven ground rocket into an air-launched ballistic munition, Turkey has successfully given its UCAV fleets high-speed SEAD and deep-strike capabilities without the premium price tag of traditional cruise missiles.    Credits: Thanks to Baykar Tech and Roketsan for providing official weapon systems test footage and public domain defense media.
