Karaok (Turkish: Black Arrow) is a 125 mm manportable, lightweight, fire-and-forget, short-range anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) in development by Roketsan. It is designed to operate and fire by a single infantry soldier. It is one of the Turkish-made ATGMs, along with the medium-range OMTAS, long-range UMTAS and gun-launched TANOK.
The missile is equipped with a tandem warhead and a new indigenously developed hybrid dual-stage rocket motor designed to enable fire from an enclosed space. Range was initially over 2500 m, weight is less than 16 kg (tube and missile), length is 110 cm. The missile is capable of both direct and top attack. The system is effective at both day or night due to its Imaging Infrared Seeker. The weapon system achieved Initial Operational Capability (IOC) in 2020 and was inducted into the Turkish Army in 2022.
