Details of Turkey's Project 'J' revealed
By Kerry Herschelman
6/16/2009
Details have emerged of the Turkish Land Forces Command's (TLFC) little-known 150 km-range precision strike tactical ballistic missile system.
It is known variously as Project 'J' (J-600T Yildirum - Thunderbolt), or Project 'Kasirga', and is understood to have been developed by Turkey's Roketsan with some foreign assistance from an undisclosed source. That assistance is likely to have come from the People's Republic of China, as the Yildirum is believed to be based on the China Precision Machinery Import & Export Corporation's B-611 series missile system.
