Matthew 24:6-8 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Mark 13:7-8 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.

1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

In just the past six (6) days, over 30 (6×5) incidents related to increasing ‘Rumours and Threats of Wars’; Turkey begins developing its first surface-to-surface, laser-guided missile. The 230mm TRGL-230 will largely be used in Turkey’s overseas military operations

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s state-controlled missile maker, Roketsan, has set out to an ambitious program to produce the country’s first surface-to-surface, laser-guided missile.

The 230mm TRGL-230 will largely be used in Turkey’s overseas military operations, officials said. The missile is expected to complement Turkey’s unarmed TB2 Akinci drone fleet, with the UAV designating a target and the TRGL-230 launching from the ground to hit the target.

The TB2 is a medium-altitude, long-endurance, tactical UAV developed and built by Kale-Baykar, a joint venture of Baykar Makina and the Kale Group. It can perform reconnaissance and intelligence missions, and recently Baykar Makina launched a naval version of the TB2. The Turkish military is currently operating 75 TB2 drones, mainly in its fight against Kurdish militants in Turkey and along its borders with Iraq and Syria.

Turkey keeps troops in northeastern Syria and northern Iraq to combat Kurdish separatist guerrillas holed up in mountainous terrain in Iraq and flat terrain in Syria. Turkey, the United States and the European Union have designated Kurdish fighters as a terrorist organization. The group has been fighting Turkey for autonomy. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the violence that began in 1984.

Turkish drones are also widely used in the Libyan civil war. Turkey sends military equipment and personnel in support of the Tripoli-based government of Fayez al-Sarraj, prime minister of the Libyan Government of National Accord.

Work on the TRGL-230 began in April 2020, Roketsan officials said, and it’s currently in the design phase. Company officials also said the missile will be locally developed without foreign involvement.

“Turkey does not have in its military inventory a missile in that class [23mm and surface-to-surface],” an industry source said. “This will be a ‘cheap-to-maintain/operate’ option for the military, as the planned missile can be launched from any land platform.”

Turkey has operated laser-guided missiles launched from manned or unmanned aircraft, but the TRGL-230 will be its first such missile with a surface-launch capability.

Laser designators on the TB2s were developed and built by military electronics specialist Aselsan, Turkey’s largest defense company (and 48th on this year’s Defense News Top 100 list).

Visiting Roketsan headquarters near Ankara on Aug. 30 to inaugurate a Space Technolgoies and Advanced Technologies Research Center along with a facility for producing raw explosive chemicals material, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised the company’s efforts to “nationalize critical technology.”

“We [Turkey] are now in the space league in terms of domestic and national projects. I would like to announce the good news that we are set to begin the first space trials of our domestically developed liquid-propellant rocket engine technology,” Erdogan said.

Roketsan plans to produce RDX (research and development explosive) and HMX (high-melting explosive), two critical elements used in conventional warheads, at its explosive chemicals plant. Turkey is highly dependent on warheads in its routine air raids on Kurdish outposts in Iraq and Syria.

A procurement official said Turkey previously procured both elements from European suppliers. But as some European countries imposed arms embargoes on Turkey after a cross-border operation into northern Syria in October, Turkey has turned to suppliers like China, South Africa and countries of the former Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe.

Roketsan officials say Turkey needs 80 tons of chemical explosive raw material per year. “Of that, 55 (5) tons will be supplied from our new raw material plant,” a company official said. “We want to end our dependency on foreign suppliers.”

Roketsan posted $515.18 million in defense revenue in 2019, ranking 91st in Defense News’ Top 100 list.

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
