SASAD and Kale CEO, Osman Okyay, stated that the integration of the KTJ-3200 turbojet engine on the Brazilian-Emirati MANSUP-ER anti-ship missile has begun.
Kale Group’s CEO Osman Okyay, answering Anadolu Agency News’ questions during the fifth Global Strategies in Aerospace and Defence Industry conference, provided updates on KTJ-3200’s use on MANSUP-ER anti-ship missile.
Okyay stated that the firm responsible for MANSUP-ER (SIATT) has begun the integration, and multiple engines will be delivered for flight tests. He added that talks are ongoing with more than ten firms/countries for the integration of Kale’s jet engines.
MANSUP-ER is a joint Brazilian-Emirati project as the next stage for the MANSUP anti-ship missile. MANSUP-ER, thanks to the use of a turbojet engine, will allow a range jump to 250 km from rocket-powered MANSUP’s 70 km.
