The TRG-300 Tiger[3] (also known as TRG-300 Kasirga) is a Turkish guided multiple launch rocket system manufactured by the ROKETSAN corporation.[4] The system has four 300 mm rocket launcher tubes and its rockets can hit a maximum range of 120 km.[4][5]
Synopsis
[edit]Typical Tiger battery systems are composed of a Command and Control Vehicle with between six and nine launcher vehicles (F-302T) and an equal number of resupply and reloading vehicles.[4] TRG-300 Missile can be launched from ROKETSAN Multi-Barrel Rocket Launcher and other platforms with compatible interfaces.[3] The system has aerodynamic control with electromechanical actuation system.[citation needed]
The TRG-300 Tiger MBRL [6] is based on Chinese WS-1 (Wei Shi; Guardian), with some modifications on the design with launcher very similar to the WS-1B 's launcher. In Turkish land forces service, the 300 mm TRG-300 Tiger MBRL system provides long range fire support.[citation needed]
The TRG-300 Tiger MBRLS consists of two key parts: The launcher system (T-300) and the rocket, TRG-300. The T-300 MBRL is based on the German MAN Diesel (6×6) 26.372 10t cross-country truck chassis. Combat weight, complete with four rockets, is 23t. The launcher vehicle's cabin windows are provided with shutters which are lowered before the rockets are launched.[citation needed]
This MAN (6×6) also serves as T-122 launch platform for Turkish land forces command F-302T.[citation needed]
History
[edit]In 1997, an agreement was signed with CPMIEC (Chinese Precision Machinery Import and Export Company) for the joint development and manufacture of an offshoot of the WS-1 system. The Kasirga system was first commissioned in the year 2000.[citation needed]
In 2016, the TRG-300 Tiger system was sold to Azerbaijan.[4]
In March 2019, ROKETSAN secured a contract to supply a regiment of medium-range guided multiple rocket launchers to Bangladesh.[7] According to the statement given by the Bangladesh Chief of General Staff Gen.18 units have been delivered to the Bangladesh Army in June 2021.[8]
