The OMTAS Medium Range Anti-Tank Weapon
System -- developed by Turkish defense giant Roketsan -- has been accepted
after succeeding in tests, a Defense Ministry official who asked not to be
named due to restrictions on speaking to the media, told Anadolu Agency.
The Turkish Armed Forces acquired one OMTAS
Launching System and eight OMTAS anti-tank missiles on June 2 and these systems
will be in the Turkish Land Forces' inventory in June, added the source.
OMTAS was developed by Roketsan to eliminate
armored threats in the range of four kilometers (2.4 miles) and it has two
shooting modes, fire and forget and fire and update.
