The Malaysian Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) has selected Turkey's defence company Roketsan's KaraOK anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) for the Malaysian Army requirement of 18 medium-range anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) systems, Rahayu Bahaudin, general manager at Malaysia's Ketech Asia, told Janes on 26 October.

The contract has been signed, and Ketech Asia – which is acting as a system integrator in the agreement – will supply the Malaysian Army with 18 KaraOKs from Turkey, according to Bahaudin.

Janes assesses the new ATGM systems will replace the Metis-Ms in service with the Malaysian Army for the past 20 years. Malaysia purchased up to 24 Metis-M launchers and about 100 missiles in 2001.

In March MINDEF requested bids to procure 18 medium-range ATGM systems with at least one missile in the launching tube. The tender also included the delivery of one indoor simulator, three outdoor simulators, three cut-open missiles, and test equipment.
