Air-launched ballistic missile systems have also become quite common in recent years along with land-based and submarine-launched ballistic missiles.

Türkiye’s SavunmaSanayiST.com made a post on its X account in this regard, Caliber.Az reports.

Parabol bir yörünge izleyen balistik füzeler, fırlatıldıktan itibaren hızlı bir şekilde irtifa almaya başlar. Karadaki mobil platformlarda bulunan balistik füzeler çoğunlukla 60 derecelik eğimle atılırken, silolardaki ve denizaltılardaki füzeler ise dikey şekilde atılır.

For example, in Türkiye, Roketsan company modified tactical ballistic missiles TRG-230 with a range of 70 kilometers and TRG-122 with a range of 35 kilometers to be launched from the air.

This doubled the range of the missiles and created a supersonic speed variant of the munition for use from aerial platforms.

Supersonic missiles of this type launched from Bayraktar Akıncı UAVs are among the most difficult targets for enemy air defense elements.
