TRG-230 is a family of guided missiles of 230-mm diameter designed and manufactured by Turkish company Roketsan.{{cite web |url= https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/trg-230-guided-missile|title = TRG-230 Guided Missile |publisher= Roketsan |accessdate= 19 November 2022}}{{cite web |url= https://www.roketsan.com.tr/uploads/docs/kataloglar/ENG/1628389230_trg-230-en.pdf |title = TRG-230 Guided Missile (pdf) |publisher= Roketsan |accessdate= 19 November 2022}} The original variants are surface-to-surface missiles, and an air-to-surface variant is being tested. TRG-230 missiles have a range of 20 km to 70 km and are launched from 230-mm rocket tubes. The TRLG-230 variant has laser guidance. The air-launched TRG-230-İHA has a range up to 150 km.

The TRLG-230 has an additional seeker for laser guidance. It can hit targets marked by UAVs and UCAVs. Its CEP is less than two meters.{{cite web |url= https://www.roketsan.com.tr/en/products/trlg-230-laser-guided-missile |title = TRLG-230 Laser Guided Missile |publisher= Roketsan |access-date= 19 November 2022}}

The TRG-230-İHA is an air-to-surface version that is launched from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV; {{langx|tr|İHA}}). After release from a UAV, it free-falls for a while, then autonomously ignites its solid propellant engine.{{cite web |url= https://bulgarianmilitary.com/2023/03/07/turkey-unveils-a-domestic-trg-230-supersonic-ballistic-asm-for-ucav/ |title=Turkey unveils a domestic TRG-230 supersonic ballistic ASM for UCAV |date=7 March 2023 |work=BulgarianMilitary.com |access-date=21 May 2023}} It has an effective range of 20 to 150 kilometers, depending on the height and speed at which it is launched. Roketsan released a video on 16 December 2022 announcing that a Bayraktar Akıncı UCAV made the first test launch, hitting the target with precision from 100 kilometers away.{{cite web |url=https://www.savunmasanayist.com/akinci-tiha-supersonik-fuze-trg230ihayi-atti/|title=AKINCI TİHA Süpersonik Füze TRG230İHA’yı Attı |date=16 December 2022| language=tr}}{{cite web |url=https://www.aa.com.tr/tr/bilim-teknoloji/turkiyenin-ilk-havadan-karaya-supersonik-fuzesi-trg-230-iha-hedefi-tam-isabetle-vurdu/2765922 |title=Türkiye'nin ilk havadan karaya süpersonik füzesi TRG-230-iHA hedefi tam isabetle vurdu|date=16 December 2022 | language=tr}} The second test launch, from an Akıncı three months later, hit a target from 140 kilometers.{{cite news |title=Bayraktar Akinci destroys target at 140km with TRG-230-IHA supersonic missile for the first time |first=Maksim |last=Panasovskyi |date=1 April 2023 |url= https://gagadget.com/en/uav/231407-bayraktar-akinci-destroys-target-at-140km-with-trg-230-iha-supersonic-missile-for-the-first-time/ |newspaper=Gagadget.com |access-date=21 May 2023}}
