Cirit

When we said 'cirit', the malay people will imagining that 'smelly thing'. But Cirit that I want to feature today is a Turkish javelin throwing game. It is one type equestrian game where a team of horseriders throw a blunt javelin to opposing team. See here for description.

In modern world, the word Cirit has been reused by the Turkish military industry to name a rocket, called Roketsan Cirit. According to wikipedia, 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.

I am strongly propose Malaysian Military to buy this rocket because when we are at war, we will be launching this rocket to our enemy. Our enemy will MENCIRIT LARI.
