ASELSAN Chairman of the Board and General Manager Prof. Haluk Gorgun: "We had our test experience with the Radar Seeker Heads that we developed in ASELSAN with the ATMACA Project. After successful shootings, now we continue mass production. We also developed the Radar Seeker of supersonic missiles with Göktuğ-Gökdoğan and HİSAR O+ RF Projects. Thus, we added new capabilities to our national air defense systems, which we see as a matter of survival."

While the talks over the end-systems are more popular, the real revolution is experienced with this type of capability acquisitions, which is not talked about much.

The test was with no explosion, so the accuracy is hit to kill.

With only active radar guidance hit to kill could be hard. Any possiblity about active radar seeker + terninal iir seeker guidance ?

They seem to only test with subsonic drones, wonder if the systems are able to hit faster flying craft.

Turkey, France, Italy to revive steps on SAMP-T missiles​

BY DAILY SABAH​

Turkey, France and Italy have decided to continue exploring reviving the steps for the SAMP-T missile defense system, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Friday.
Erdoğan made the comments while speaking to reporters on his way back from Brussels where he attended an extraordinary summit of NATO leaders.
The president said he discussed the possibility of buying SAMP-T missile defense systems from the Franco-Italian Eurosam consortium with French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi at the summit.
He reiterated that NATO is the cornerstone of European security and that Turkey is an indispensable ally for ensuring regional security.
In January 2018 while Erdoğan was on a visit to France, Turkish partners Aselsan and Roketsan inked a deal with Eurosam for the Long Range Air and Missile Defense Project for a period of 18 months. However, the process drew to a halt due to France's political stance, according to an earlier statement by Turkish defense officials.

Italy's Draghi, meanwhile, also said that Italy, Turkey and France will revive a cooperation group between the three countries.
"We decided to reactivate the group between Turkey, France and Italy, one of the cooperation platforms created over the years and then interrupted. Soon, the three countries will have a meeting," Draghi told the Italian press Thursday.
"The meeting we had with Erdoğan went well," he said while commenting on the meetings held on the sidelines of the NATO summit.
The three-country missile program aims to defend against threats from stealth aircraft, drones and missiles. The joint development activity was also expected to support Turkey’s indigenous air and missile development program in addition to opening up prospects for exports and longer-term cooperation of Turkey, Italy and France.
The Eurosam consortium is made up of European missile maker MBDA, itself a joint venture between Airbus and Italy’s Leonardo and Britain’s BAE Systems, and French defense contractor Thales, whose main shareholders are the French state and fighter jet maker Dassault Aviation.
On Turkey's purchase of the S-400 Russian air defense system, a topic that came to the fore once again with the Russia-Ukraine war, Erdoğan said Ankara's position on its acquisition is unchanged and the matter is a "done deal," adding that talks with Washington on new F-16 jets and kits were going well.
The United States imposed sanctions on NATO member Turkey's defense industry in December 2020 over the S-400s and expelled Ankara from the F-35 stealth fighter jet program, where it was a manufacturer and buyer. Ankara argues that the moves are unjust.
Erdoğan added that he hoped the positive talks on purchasing new F-16 jets and modernization kits from Washington would yield results soon.
He also dismissed reports that U.S. officials had informally raised with Turkey the unlikely possibility of sending the S-400 systems to Ukraine amid Russia's invasion, saying "all they do is cause commotion" in reference to Washington.
Turkey initially turned to the Russian missile system after failing to reach terms during protracted negotiations with the U.S. over the acquisition of Raytheon's Patriot surface-to-air missile systems.

The agreement in question was not related to Turkey's purchase of SAMP-T.

It included the analysis of a system based on the Eurosam-T (Samp-T) air defense system by the EUROSAM Consortium with Turkish companies, and the determination of the common needs of the three countries. In the second stage, it was aimed to jointly develop a long-range high-altitude air defense system that would meet the needs of the EUROPE-NATO region.

Turkey awards missile system study to Franco-Italian group, Turkish firms

Turkey took a step on Friday towards closer defence cooperation with France and Italy with a contract for a study into the development and production of a long-range air and missile defence system.

When the political crises with France slowed down these works; Turkey has completed the HISAR-O+ and (to be completed soon)HISAR-RF projects during this time and will start tests in the SIPER project next year.

The resumption of joint project development with Eurosam is, of course, an important. However, it should be said that the conditions are quite different from 5 years ago, at least in terms of planning the SSB and the needs of the TAF.

The situation is different from 5 years ago. 5 Years ago, we did not have both anti-aircraft and anti-ballistic systems. SAMP-T would offer a solution to both problems together.

At the moment, we only need an effective anti-ballistic defense system like THAAD. If the Franco-Italian Eurosam partnership offers an effective solution to this problem, its fine for us. Otherwise, we will eventually solve that problem ourselves.

Unnecessary waste of money and time, that's a separate discussion.
