looks like a Patriot copy and paste.

You’re overlooking something. Developing smaller number of missile projects doesn’t necessarily speed up the schedule, because the engineers and technicians are working for different companies. If you reduce the number of projects being developed by different companies, you’ll simply end up developing fewer missiles in the same amount of time. And if you force different companies to collaborate, the team becomes too large, the division of responsibilities becomes more complicated, and you still end up developing fewer missiles in the same amount of time. Brooks’s Law applies quite well to defense industry projects.

I’ve noticed that you keep reaching conclusions too quickly by taking snippets of what I’ve said and extrapolating an entire viewpoint from them -- then arguing against positions I never actually took.

The issue isn’t that they’re developing three separate A2A missiles; that’s normal, and I never even said that forcing everyone to work together and simply pouring money at a problem accelerates development, or even that they should do this...

Developing a ramjet is perfectly reasonable as long as there are sufficient resources for it; the issue is that they’re building their entire primary BVRAAM armament for the next decade around ramjets.

We’re not in the 1990s anymore; we’re in the age of network- and LOity-centric aerial warfare. You’re going to be facing at least 120 F-35s by 2035 (not to mention VKS LO fighters and the 4.5th-gens of all three parties), backed by numerous modern special-mission aircraft, and you’re going to be at a disadvantage if you rely primarily on ramjet-powered BVRAAMs...

This will be my final answer on the matter, as I don’t want to get dragged into a very long exchange that spirals out of control and somehow ends with us discussing 18th-century warfare and statecraft...

IHA-300 / 300-ER Production line?

Nice catch

IHA-300 / 300-ER Production line?

Yeah, most probably. I mean, the 300 series has been in production for more than 20 years. So, serial production of its ALBM version can begin moments after validation.

ROKETSAN GM Murat İkinci:

• (Siper's anti-ballistic capability) We won't have to wait too long, God willing. Siper-2 is nearing completion. Test firings and qualification processes are ongoing."
• "We'll also see '(hybrid seeker heads)' at ROKETSAN. We're working on many technologies, including IR and passive RF, as well as variants that lock onto seeker heads.

Turkish MoD announced successful air-to-ground and air-to-air test firings of Roketsan’s L-UMTAS GM Block-I laser-guided extended-range ATGMs (and IIR TEMREN) from a Seahawk helicopter on 8-10 Sep 2026 at Beşadalar, Antalya. These are extended-range variants (typically 16-20+ km from aircraft, with later block variants reaching further ranges).

NEB multi-stage penetrator designed specifically for SOM series of cruise missiles packaged into MK-84 shell mimicking external geometry, guidance unit interfaces, mass, center of mass and inertia properties, allowing for multi-use of existing guidance kits (HGK-1 / HGK-2 /GBU-31/ GBU-10E/B.. etc). There's also a variant (NEB-T) which has a thermobaric main charge.
