Russian media have reported that Turkey has provided a large amount of precision long-range missile ammunition for the TRLG-230 “fire god” system that it has supplied to Ukraine. Currently, neither Kiev nor Ankara has commented on this information.
Russia’s Avia page said that Turkey has donated missile ammunition of up to about 200 rounds for the extremely dangerous long-range rocket system TRLG-230 that it has transferred to Ukraine.
According to this information site, at least 12 TRLG-230 “fire gods” complexes have been delivered to Kiev by Ankara.
It is expected that this type of weapon will be launched by the Ukrainian army in large-scale counter-offensive operations in the east of the country.
Analysts believe that after the Bayraktar TB2 UAV, it will be Turkey’s turn to influence the conflict in Ukraine.
Remember at the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, it was the Bayraktar TB2 drone produced by Turkey that contributed significantly to turning the battlefield.
The attack of this type of UAV has caused damage to many Russian military vehicles, especially armored forces. This affected the order to withdraw Russian forces from the area around the capital Kiev.
Currently, the situation of the Ukrainian battlefield is greatly influenced by long-range rocket artillery, especially the HIMARS type.
Both the United States and Ukraine claim that the HIMARS rocket artillery contributed greatly to the success of Ukraine in the counter-attack, especially in the city of Kherson.
Meanwhile, the features of the Turkish-developed TRLG-230 rocket launcher are said to have many similarities with the US-made HIMARS cannon.
TRLG-230 is a modern long-range precision rocket artillery system researched and developed by Turkey recently.
The TRLG-230 provides precise and effective firepower on high-priority targets within a range of 20 – 120 km.
Targets targeted by TRLG-230 are usually artillery systems and air defense battlefields, radar warning systems.
In addition, they also target the concentration points of troops, command systems, and the locations of the enemy’s armored tanks.
Each TRLG-230 system can carry up to 6 missiles with a diameter of 300 mm.
In the weight of each rocket from 585 kg to 670k g depending on the version. The combat range is up to 120 km.
The TRLG-230 jet gun is equipped with an extremely accurate guidance system, the target error is very small.
With a 105-190kg warhead block depending on the version, the TRLG-230 can easily blow up heavy tanks.
In addition to warheads containing extremely powerful explosives, TRLG-230 can also be equipped with fragmentation warheads with tens of thousands of steel balls to destroy a large area with a diameter of 160 m.
TRLG-230 combined with guidance from reconnaissance UAVs will give good combat performance with the ability to destroy almost absolute targets.
Previously, Turkey produced small quantities of TRLG-230 precision rocket artillery and was secretly conducting tests in the Syrian battlefield and the Nagorno-Karabakh battlefield.
