Domestic Medium-Range Anti-Ship Missile Engine Tested

Turkey's first medium-range anti-ship missile engine, TEI-TJ300, was tested at a ceremony attended by the Minister of Industry and Technology, Mustafa Varank. Domestic missile engine produced in cooperation with TÜBİTAK, TEI and Roketsan; medium range for air, sea and land defense systems in anti-ship missiles will be used.

Varank, who tested the missile, “Today, it was developed with the support of TÜBİTAK turbo jet engine We did the firing. These engines were designed for use in medium-range anti-ship missiles. But it can also be used on different platforms.” he said. The domestically designed missile engine received full marks in the first prototype test.

Domestic missile engine TEI-TJ300 is a first in the world with its high thrust power

Türkiye's first Medium Range Anti-Ship (OMGS) air-breathing missile engine TEI-TJ300It can produce 1300 newtons of thrust in a narrow diameter. TEI-TJ300 can also operate at speeds as high as 90 percent of the speed of sound at an altitude of 5,000 feet. The engine, which was developed to reach sufficient thrust within seconds, also has the feature of operating with underwing wind without the need for a starter system.

TEI General Manager Mahmut Akşit said that the tested missile engine unique in the world stating that it is "It produces 1300 newton thrust in a narrow diameter. This is a serious thrust power in this class. There is no other engine that can give such thrust in this diameter. We developed it specifically for an application of ROKETSAN. The entire experimental setup was developed by TEI. The entire control mechanism was also developed by TEI." he said. The missile engine was designed to fit into air, sea and land defense systems due to stringent size constraints.
