The point was Turkey also imported technology. Iran could not import such a thing so it had to reverse engineer. Nations have to start from somewhere. That's what I am meaning.
Nobody gives Air Defense System technology to Turkey
Thanks to Turkish defense companies Aselsan , Roketsan , Meteksan and Tubitak-SAGE for HISAR - SIPER Air Defense System projects
-- Aselsan IIR and RF seekers
-- Aselsan AESA Radars
-- Tubitak-SAGE the Inertial Measurement Unit
-- Tubitak-SAGE Missile fuel
-- Meteksan Tactical data link
-- Roketsan Dual-Stage Rocket Motor
Iranian long range Air Defense Missile based on American SM-1 ... but I respect Iran
Iran is superior to all Arab countries combined
Because those systems are more advanced generally speaking compared to what they can create.
Turkey has developed SOM which is superior to American SLAM-ER
My comment was saying that if French wanted to make add anti-ship role capability to their cruise missiles, they could easily.
as of 2020 , STORM SHADOW and TAURUS have no anti ship capability and without Terrain hugging capability
SOM has both land attack/anti ship capabilities ... GPS - INS - Automatic Target Recognition - Terrain Referenced Navigation - Image Based Navigation - DATA Link and Imaging Infrared Seeker with Terrain hugging and Sea skimming capabilities
-
Yes , France-The UK together develop RAMJET powered supersonic PERSEUS Missile with land attack/anti ship capabilities
Turkey also develops RAMJET powered supersonic Cruise Missile ... ( only the UK-France and Turkey in Europe )
No, you cannot. You are relying too much on this notion that your SOM cannot be detected and traced. You're badly mistaken.
Turkey has tested SOM against Radars
I am saying again lightweight composite components that minimize the radar cross-section of SOM missile + Terrain hugging capability ( in flight less than 5 meters ) = Radars can not trace SOM
OMTAS is quite heavy to be honest, I would not see it as that portable.
35 kg OMTAS is heavier than 26kg French MMP and 29kg Russian KORNET
16 kg Turkish KARAOK anti Tank Missile is a man portable system

And I am still waiting for you to tell me who sees the OMTAS as a 5th gen missile, minus yourself.
OMTAS is the latest technology Anti Tank Missile as like 5th gen French MMP and 5th gen Israeli SPIKE-LR
3rd gen Anti Tank Missiles = Russian KORNET , German MILAN , Indian NAG
Iran's air defence is much better to yours. Are you fielding long range air defences like Iran for a long time?
-- Turkey has long range air defense systems NIKE HERCULES since the Cold War era
-- now Turkey has superior S-400 Air Defense System
-- HISAR-A and HISAR-O Air Defense Systems by 2020-21
-- SIPER long range Air Defense System will be in service until 2023
-- Turkish KURECIK Radar Base hosts 1500 km AN/TPY2 Early Warning Radar
-- 600 km Aselsan EIRS Early Warning Radar by 2021
-- Turkish Airforce has 4 Boeing E7-T AEWC with 600km MESA Radar
-- 4 Airborne stand off Jammer Aircrafts are on the way
-- Turkish KORAL and REDET Radar Electronic Warfare Systems are in service to jam even radar based Missiles
-- Turkish Navy 12 Frigates armed with 608 of SM-1MR and ESSM Air Defense Missiles
-- KORKUT 35mm SPAAG with 35mm airburst ammunition to intercept Cruise Missiles
-- 20 and 60 kw LASER Weapons for Air Defense ( Turkish LASER Weapon shot down Chinese Wing Loong-II UCAV in Libya )
-- 232 F-16C/D Fighter Jets armed with AIM-120B and AIM-120C7 air to air missiles to protect Turkish Airspace
-- 8400 STINGER air defense Missiles
-- Network centric Warfare Capability
-- Cooperative Engagment Capability ..... only a few countries in the world
Thanks to Turkish HAVELSAN for this capability Genesis ADVENT Combat System
/ 450km CAFRAD AESA Naval Radar
/ Boeing E7-T AEWC
/ HISAR
-SIPER long range air defense missiles
Turkey create one of the best Air Defense capability in the World
All of these are nothing new and are decades old. Claiming radars cannot trace SOM is not substantiated. You need to prove that in practise like Iran has with its systems.
still Iran lacks this technology
and Pathetic S.Arabia can not use Weapons .. even American pilots uses S.Arabian Fighter Jets to bomb targets in Yemen
The point is this, Turkey has not tested any such missiles as it would have been detected. I am not saying Turkey cannot develop them, I am saying right now, there is no credible evidence for them. Ballistic missiles are not child's plays, you need to test them many times when developing them. Nowadays it is almost impossible to test a missile in that region without the news breaking.
do you think Turkey has developed only 280km Ballistic Missile between 2009 and 2019 ?
I am saying again Turkish Cabinet minister claimed in January 2013 that Turkey possessed capabilities to produce a missile with a range of 800 kilometers
and in 2014 Turkish Missile was tested in S.Africa Denel Overberg test center and reached a range of 800+ km
in 2018 ministry of national defence NURETTIN CANIKLI said that New cruise missile developed, will reach a range of 800km
