Roketsan defense company demonstrated the capabilities of the LUMTAS-GM extended range anti-tank missile system. A high-precision anti-tank missile hit the target from a distance of 16 km. This shows that LUMTAS-GM is one of the longest-range ATGMs in the world.

Compared to existing anti-tank guided missiles, the Turkish LUMTAS-GM now has the longest range among land-based ATGMs, surpassing the previously leading US, Russian, Chinese and French ATGMs in terms of operational capabilities.

For example, the advanced version of the Russian Vykhor-1 and Kornet can hit targets up to 10 km away. The American FGM-148 Javelin has a maximum range of 4.75 km, while other counterparts such as the American BGM-71 TOW 2B RF, Chinese HJ-12, French-German Milan-ER have a range of 3 to 4.5 km. kilometer

The LUMTAS-GM guided missile can potentially exceed a range of 20 kilometers when launched from a helicopter. Israeli Spike NLOS is still ahead with its 25 kilometer range.

LUMTAS-GM, the first missile of the UMTAS-GM family, stands out in Roketsan’s capabilities in the field of high-precision missiles. The UMTAS-GM long-range anti-tank system is a future combat system that can be integrated into various platforms, including air, sea and land systems.

Roketsan’s LUMTAS-GM anti-tank guided missile is launched from a four-winged container that opens backwards when launched, which improves the missile’s gliding characteristics and increases its flight range. As for its technical specifications, the weight of LUMTAS-GM is 41.3 kg and its length is 1.72 m.
