New Engine Will Equip the MANSUP-ER, the Anti-Ship Missile Developed by SIATT, with Range Over 200 Km and Total Focus on Cutting-Edge Maritime Defense
It’s official: Brazil has taken another bold step in strengthening its maritime defense. The MANSUP-ER anti-ship missile, developed by the Brazilian company SIATT in partnership with the EDGE group from the United Arab Emirates, will be equipped with a state-of-the-art foreign turbojet engine. The announcement was made during LAAD Defense & Security 2025 in Rio de Janeiro.
Partnership Between Brazil and Turkey Brings State-of-the-Art Technology to the MANSUP-ER
During the event, SIATT confirmed the signing of a contract with Kale Jet Engines from Turkey. The agreement provides for the supply of the KTJ-3200 turbojet engine, which will be used in the new extended version of the MANSUP-ER missile. The KTJ-3200 is the first fully Turkish-developed turbojet engine and is already used in other advanced defense systems, such as the SOM and Atmaca missiles.
At just 63 cm long, 33 cm in diameter, and weighing 50 kg, the engine can generate a thrust of 3,200 N and reach speeds close to Mach 0.95. A true technological asset for the MANSUP-ER, which promises to dominate the seas with precision and agility.

MANSUP-ER Gains Boost with the KTJ-3200 Engine
The MANSUP-ER is an improved version of the already known MANSUP (National Surface-to-Air Anti-Ship Missile), now with an extended range of about 200 km. The objective is clear: to transform the MANSUP-ER into a world-class weapon capable of being launched from both naval and terrestrial platforms.
The integration of the KTJ-3200 engine will not only enhance the performance of the MANSUP-ER but also represents a leap in operational reliability. The system promises to combine the best of Brazilian engineering with the most advanced international propulsion technology.
Brazilian Defense Industry Advances with the MANSUP
Beyond technology, the contract marks the first export of military turbojet engines from Turkey, a milestone for Kale Jet Engines. For Brazil, it confirms that the MANSUP-ER is not just a promising project — it is a concrete reality that strengthens national sovereignty.
With this agreement, Brazil expands its technological autonomy and reinforces its position in the international defense arena. The MANSUP-ER emerges as one of the most relevant strategic weapons today, making it clear that the national industry is ready to compete with industry giants.
This partnership with Kale Jet Engines is not just an important step in modernization of the MANSUP-ER — it also shows how Brazil is willing to seek solutions abroad to strengthen its sovereignty at home. The integration of the KTJ-3200 engine is set to elevate the level of the national anti-ship missile, providing long-range capabilities for our armed forces.
Now, the question that cannot be ignored:
Do you agree with this partnership with the Turks? Or do you think Brazil should invest more in the 100% national production of the MANSUP-ER, without relying on a foreign engine? Comment below, we want to know your opinion!
