Roketsan Cirit Cirit is a laser - guided 70 mm rocket system under production by Turkish missile manufacturer Roketsan . It is one of the projects launched by Turkey to equip the Turkish Army ' s T - 129 Atak , AH - 1P Cobra and AH - 1W Super Cobra attack helicopters with low - cost precision strike capabilities . It has been selected by Eurocopter for execution of a test and integration program to equip the Eurocopter EC635 . The weapon ' s name comes from a traditional Turkish horseback game , Cirit , where two teams of riders fight a mock battle using wooden javelin s . Description . Cirit is a next generation 70 mm ( 2 . 75 in ) guided rocket system fitted with a semi - active laser homing seeker . The seeker and guidance section is attached to a purpose - built warhead with a Class 5 Insensitive Munition ( IM ) . The multipurpose warhead has a combined armour - piercing ammunition with enhanced behind armor anti - personnel and incendiary effects . The engine is of reduced smoke design , with IM properties . It is connected to the rear section by a roll bearing that enables it to rotate in flight . There are four small stabilising surfaces at the very rear of the missile in front of the exhaust nozzle that ensures stable flight . Roketsan has developed a new launch pod and a new canister in which Cirit is delivered as an all - up round . The Cirit has a maximum effective guided range of 8 km with a high probability of hit on a 3×3 m target at this range . Development . Initial work on the Cirit design began in 2004 and it was first shown in public during IDEF 2007 . Roketsan had opted not to follow the lead of other similar 70 mm ( 2 . 75 in ) guided rocket programmes and has developed the Cirit as an all - up round and not as an add - on guidance kit for existing unguided rounds . This has seen the company work on several new components for the rocket including its semi - active laser seeker , actuation and control systems , bearings , computer hardware and software . Multipurpose high performance warhead , motor and specific container were designed and developed by TUBITAK - SAGE . The Cirit is designed for use with existing 70 mm rocket launchers such as the LAU - 61 , LAU - 68 , LAU - 130 , LAU - 131 , M260 and M261 . Roketsan is also developing a new series of digital launchers , with seven and 19 tubes , to take advantage of the Cirit ' s MIL - STD - 1760 databus capabilities . January 12 , 2010 , Roketsan ' s Cirit is the first 2 . 75 " laser guided rocket to engage moving targets . Cirit successfully engaged a moving target travelling at 60 km / h while the platform ( AH - 1W Super Cobra ) it was fired from was moving at 220 km / h ( 120 knots ) . May 12 , 2011 , Roketsan signed an agreement with Turkish Aerospace Industries ( TAI ) for the integration of its Cirit Smart Launcher System on the T - 129 attack helicopter .
