Spike NLOS: 25 km NLOS Missile — Combat-Proven in Azerbaijan and Ukraine
The Spike NLOS is Rafael’s fiber-optic/RF-guided multi-purpose missile with 25 km range. Real-time video enables man-in-the-loop target control until impact. Combat-proven in Nagorno-Karabakh 2020 and Ukraine; South Korea integrated it on fast attack craft.
Man-in-the-Loop: Urban Warfare Value
Real-time seeker video over fiber optic allows the operator to switch targets or abort engagement until the last moment — invaluable in urban environments where civilian proximity is high.
Platform Independence
Spike NLOS integrates on land (HMMWV, Puma), air (AH-64E Apache), and sea (South Korean fast attack craft) — the same missile from multiple launch platforms.

Türk Muadili
ROKETSAN’s OMTAS offers 4+ km fiber-optic guided anti-armor capability. Spike NLOS’s 25 km range gap is a strategic shortfall for Turkey, especially in island defense and coastal surveillance scenarios.
